The Uncle Billy’s Bar-B-Que (website, facebook, instagram, twitter) Pop-up in the former Abilene space at 539 Deering Ave in Woodford’s Corner opened for business last night.
Uncle Billy’s plans to operate this pop-up restaurant through the end of the Summer while their permanent location 166 Cumberland Ave is under construction.
When I spoke with Uncle Billy’s back in April, the plans were for a scaled back version of the menu that will eventually served on Cumberland Ave.
The Duckfat Frites Shack (instagram) opened yesterday. The takeout window is located off of Washington in the courtyard outside Oxbow Blending and Bottling.

Two more openings are scheduled for this weekend:

Eaux will be open Wednesday through Monday, 11:30 am to 1 am.
