Over the past month or so, my girlfriend and I have been patiently and anxiously awaiting to see what new type of restaurant concept was going to become of the old Subway on NW 23rd in the Ghosts of Shepherd Mall District.
Ready for anything that doesn’t serve lifeless cold cuts on styrofoam bread, we danced a fisherman’s jig when we learned it would be something called Juicy Tails.
Alright…it wasn’t that dramatic, but we regularly checked on the status of the new restaurant, and once we learned it was opening, we moseyed on over for a late lunch of tasty crustaceans and other aquatic life.
We were greeted by a near-empty restaurant, with the only customer being the hand-painted dancing sea creatures adorning the walls, and realized that maybe—just maybe—we were the only locals excited about, or even aware of, this juicy deliverance.
