"For now, he’s sending out Meint Erasers at Shaw’s Roy Boys during its last days of service." - Tierney Plumb
"This lively, neon-lit Shaw bar near 9:30 Club sends out silver trays of fried chicken, tenders, sliders, and sandwiches like the “Drop It Like It’s Hot” with Nashville-basted fried chicken, slaw, pickles, and buttermilk ranch. Both carryout and delivery options are listed on the restaurant website. Stick and stay at the bar for well-executed cocktails." - Tierney Plumb, Eater Staff
"It’s sure to be a good time at Shaw’s lively, neon-lit hangout, which plans to keep flights of tequila and mezcal flowing alongside its in-house Rita’s Tacos menu. Drinks specials also loop in the Caribbean passion fruit liqueur Chinola and South America’s favorite fiery spirit Chacho. Doors open at 4 p.m." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"Come to Roy Boys in Shaw for the crispy fried chicken sandwiches and oyster platters. Stay for the frozen custard tacos. Selections change frequently — you’ll have to ask — but they are guaranteed to be loaded with creamy soft serve and smothered with toppings and sauce. One recent ice cream taco featured chocolate and vanilla swirl with cinnamon churros, whipped cream, and sprinkles." - Lisa Ruland
"Listed on the menu only as a cryptic line saying, “Ask about our ice cream tacos,” this casual, creative fried chicken and oyster restaurant in Le Droit Park currently serves a stoner-worthy ice cream taco. It’s a multicolored extravaganza loaded with custard, whipped cream, sprinkles, and churros." - China Riddle, Lisa Ruland
