In April 2022 I broke the news that Shalhoob’s had signed a lease to take over 5112 Hollister Avenue in Noleta, the former home of Woody’s BBQ. A large sign for Shalhoob’s soon appeared on the exterior. People emailed me recently with concerns because the Shalhoob’s sign was taken down. I called the flagship restaurant in the Funk Zone and was told that plans to open the restaurant in Noleta are still on track. The garage door-style walls (that open) are complete but the wood framing structure is mostly unchanged from earlier this year. The cement floor had been torn up the last time I looked but is now complete. There is a stack of architectural drawings on a table that leave little doubt that Shalhoob’s is on their way.

If only a stack of architectural drawings could swing a hammer we’d have Shalhoob’s in Noleta !
