There is something unprecedented happening in these unprecedented times, a new restaurant is opening in The Delmar Loop!
The team that brought you Sugarfire Smokehouse and the Hi-Pointe Drive-In will debut their new concept, Chicken Out, at 6197 Delmar (northeast corner of Delmar and Skinker) in midJune.
The menu boasts a menu of “faster casual fried chicken” that features chicken sandwiches, fries, mac & cheese and more.
The location will have a walk-up window for pick-up that is ideal for a restaurant business right now. Their website is ChickenOut. com and there you will find links to their social media pages that include updates on menu items. Mission Taco Joint will be debuting a new restaurant concept at its location in The Delmar Loop, Mission Taco Joint Lite.
They will be offering patrons the experience of Mission Taco Joint but in a setting that complies with new health guidelines.
Some of the components of the new concept include having guests order from a menu on disposable paper at the bar and pay for meals prior to sitting down.
There will be limited indoor seating with barriers separating tables and plexiglass screens at the ordering area and other safety precautions in place.
The restaurant will offer a limited food and drink menu, and all offerings will be served in disposable containers. Food going from the kitchen to the table will have a lid, all Mission Taco Joint staff will wear face masks, and there will be sanitizer stations at the front doors, bathrooms and dining rooms.
There is a great deal of thought and effort going into making the new restaurant experience safe and enjoyable. Many of The Delmar Loop restaurants are choosing to stay with curbside pick-up and delivery through the end of May and then they will assess options for returning to full service.
As we get into summertime the opportunity to dine Al Fresco will serve as a welcome option.
Please connect with The Delmar Loop on social media at @DelmarLoop or check out our website for updates at VisitTheLoop.com.
Please remember to support our local restaurants, your support means the world to our hardworking businesses! Other good news, the Link in the Loop building at 6201 Delmar is nearing completion.
We are looking forward to CVS Pharmacy opening over the summer. We’ll have more updates on the other new tenants soon. Take a stroll over to Delmar to see the new building and while you are there keep strolling to catch the St. Louis Walk of Fame stars and say “hi” to the shop owners and restaurant owners who are reopening. Again, thank you for supporting your neighborhood businesses! Stay well and healthy!
