brucesw Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Monica Pope (T'afia, Blvd. Bistro) is said to be opening a bbq joint on Taylor, off Washington, called Beaver's. The name has raised a few eyebrows but it's because that was the name of the ice house at that location.Has anyone seen what's going on or have any updates?

tmariar Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I was at T'afia earlier this week, and they had about three "Beaver's" items on their bar menu. I'm probably not going to remember which were marked as "Beaver's" - but I'm pretty sure the "corn poppers" (which were good, and tasted like hush puppies) were among them.

houstongirl Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 My other office is located off Summer Street, which is right around the corner from Beaver's. I had no idea she is the one behind this place.... so yes, the name does raise a few eyebrows now. We'll have to check it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vertigo58 Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 .... so yes, the name does raise a few eyebrows now. I assumed it was an homage to Beaver Cleaver. Maybe Wally's would be next chain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brucesw Posted October 20, 2007 Author Share Posted October 20, 2007 I drove by the other day - I don't think they're very close to opening. Most importantly, I didn't see a stack of wood anywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestGrayGuy Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I was invited to a sneak preview this weekend. I will definitely report back to the forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestGrayGuy Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I attended the sneak preview this past weekend of Beaver's. The place is not very big on the inside but it was packed. It is very rustic I would say, complete with exposed beams. The food was, or course, outstanding. They had several wait staff circulating through the crowd with appetizers. My favorite was: Stuffed Pepperoncini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
