"Mama San Soul Shack, the beloved St. John’s counter-service restaurant and bar specializing in soul food with an East Asian twist, will shutter on September 20. Opened in August of 2015, the restaurant was popular with the St. John’s crowd for its rice bowls, fried chicken, a bar that included boozy slushies and house sodas, and its large front patio. Despite its popularity, it struggled financially, exacerbated by communication breakdowns between co-owner Andrew Boggs and chef Chris Hopkins. Hopkins eventually left, leading to the closure announcement. The restaurant will remain open until then with limited hours to allow patrons a final visit." - Alex Frane
