RESTAURANT NEWS 🚨: @saucemans_bbq is moving to @sugarcreekbrewing. The restaurant’s last day at 228 West Blvd in South End is Aug. 31, and it’ll re-open at Sugar Creek in late September/October. . "A bigger operation is what we're excited about," manager and pit master Ed Simoes told the Agenda. "It's a good chance for us to take on a new challenge." . The barbecue joint will be going in Sugar Creek's current event space, and Ed told us the hope is to "make it look like we picked up the current location and moved it there." . Expect a bigger menu with the addition of old-school sandwiches and turkey and twice as much seating. . Hours will likely be 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. with shorter hours on Sunday (yes, this means the brewery will be open for lunch).
