Same here. I just wish the place had more than 7 tables. We usually have plan B ready when we pass by in case the line is at the door.

I frequent many shops on Sherwood and most are all down 30-50% in sales from the construction that started early February. They should take legal action against the City.

Try driving it in a car low to the ground. Even though it’s wide open it feels like a jackhammer going off in a car due to the road still being unpaved.

Philly Me Up is a monthly go to for me also. The Cajun is one of the best things in BR. I love everything about it.

I’m gonna gripe on the size also. It’s way too small for the amount of business they do. They need to move or try to get the spot next door and expand. Also, I find sometimes it take a little while but it’s good food so I’ll be okay.

City of BR road division dropped the ball big time on the construction. First off they went out of state for the Asphalt (Way to contribute to the local economy), and secondly they murdered businesses on Sherwood. You should see the for lease signs on Sherwood.

I don't know if this is true but according to the article I read they cant buy that type of asphalt locally.

Either way it’s sad that small businesses have to suffer due to incompetence. Have the material on site or within the general vicinity before you start work. Not sitting up north on a Barge when they knew beforehand the river was going to be an issue going into spring/summer.
