Shoo Mama's Bar & Grill [Now Open]

**HD Lady** · 06-14-2010, 09:54 AM

I noticed the new signage for Shoo Mama's Bar & Grill (old Jambone's location) on hwy. 98 this weekend. Does anyone have any information regarding this place? (Menu, opening date, etc.)

I saw a couple of guys working on the place months ago and asked for info, but they wouldn't tell me anything. Sounds like a fun place.

Shoo Mamas will be a restaurant, open 11a-11pm, serving lunch and dinner. No late night partying, but they will have a bar. Talked to Shoo Mama yesterday and he says they are waiting on the permits. Should be opening soon. Haven't seen the menu yet.

Thanks MB for the info. Please let us know if/when any additional info is available.

Passed by this a.m. on my way to work. New blue awning going up at Shoo Mama's Entrance today.

**Hobo** · 06-18-2010, 10:12 AM

To clarify, the blue awning is actually left over from the Jambone space. A new awning is on order and will match the Shoo Mama's sign.

The restaurant is nearing completion and should be open in the next few weeks. Rumor has it that the Grand Opening will take place on Wednesday, July 7th, but this has not been confirmed...

I'm looking forward to it. as well!

Thanks for the info - as a new member with inside info maybe you can give us more details. There is a lot of business here if you ask for it.

Glad to hear construction is moving along. It seems like managing to catch the summer crowds that first year can really make a difference in whether a new restaurant makes it.

**Hop** · 06-18-2010, 12:43 PM

I'm excited about a new spot!

The Shoo Mamas concept is exactly what the local community wants... good food, reasonable prices, a comfortable atmosphere, and staff with a service-oriented mentality.

The owner has experience in the restaurant business here for 15 years, and the menu has been developed with the most popular local flavors in mind.

There will be plenty of seafood dishes. The restaurant decor supports this theme, but it is nicely done - a significant improvement over the old Jambone space!

A wall has been dedictated to display photos of local fishermen and their most proud catches or moments. So, if you like to fish, bring your photo!!

For landlubbers, there will be a good selection of chicken and meat dishes, as well. Something for everyone...

Live music is expected on certain nights, but I do not have confirmation of the schedule. There are flat screen TVs in a section of the dining area and above the bar with satellite service, so it will be a great place to watch an event and have a beer or cocktail.

I'll report more information as I have it, but July 7th appears to be the date of the Grand Opening. Stay tuned...

Shoo Mamas is nearly ready to roll...

The "soft" opening will be this Monday, June 28th, which will allow the staff to get comfortable with the menu and acquainted with the space.

The Grand Opening is scheduled for Thursday, July 8th. Members of Hubba Hubba and Dread Clampit (Hubba Clampit) will be the featured entertainment! As if great food and service weren't enough!

The restaurant has come together nicely and the team that owner, Lucas Sidrony, has assembled is casual but professional.

See you there!

Hey Lucas! We can't wait to come in eat and see what you've done to the place. Look forward to seeing you again!!!

Everyone please go and support Shoo Mama's! I'm sure many of you remember Lucas from when he worked with us at D&K's way back when!!! He made the best Sangria. And he has sooooo much experience in the restaurant business. I can't wait to see his menu!!!!

**BeachbumAggie** · 06-26-2010, 10:32 PM

I'm excited to give it a try when I'm there week after next!

**HD Lady** · 06-28-2010, 09:39 AM

Good Luck to you Lucas! We are excited about the opening and can't wait!

**klauricella** · 06-29-2010, 10:25 AM

Did anyone go to the soft opening last night?

**Buz Livingston** · 06-29-2010, 12:55 PM

A friend asked me to go but Tim Hudson and the Strausburg kid were locked up in a pitching duel. I didn't want to get away from the game.

I think the heat got to the kid. Great game.

Will try and get by this week.

**Geo** · 06-29-2010, 03:55 PM

I had lunch there. Good bowl of gumbo and a nice burger. They still have a few kinks to work out (which is precisely why they did the soft opening) but I am excited about them being here and look forward to my next visit.

**kurt** · 06-29-2010, 04:54 PM

We were there for a late lunch - good guys and good food.

we went for lunch today! we ordered crab claws, fried shrimp, yummy curly fries, and wings. a great menu selection for lunch and dinner. very nice atmosphere. and absolutely wonderful staff! I'm excited. I may finally get over my mourning for the loss of Coco's.

we met Lucas and Donkey! they have a great team and we can't wait to go back.

Wonderful dinner tonight. We told Lucas that he needs to make the cioppino a regular menu item- loaded with seafood and one of the best cioppinos ever, a special treat since we never see this on a menu around here!

Our friend confirmed the superiority of the fish taco- best in SoWal. Hands down. All fresh, crunchy, and delicious.

I had the salad with grilled shrimp- had to look for the lettuce under all the yummy shrimp.

Best part? Happy hour M-F. Half-price bottles of wine with 2 entrees. No brainer.

Thank you Lucas and Shoo Mama's!
