It’s been nearly six months since The Scoop got wind of Mike Shannon’s Grill opening in Edwardsville, Ill. With construction of the sports-themed grill and lounge now complete and its opening only a couple of weeks away, we were getting hungry for a look at the new space at 871 S. Arbor Vitae (in the building next to Peel Wood Fired Pizza), and, of course, the food and drinks. When doors open at the restaurant, initial hours will be from 4 to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 4 to 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays; and 4 to 9 p.m. on Sundays. Lunch service, beginning at 11 a.m., will be added six to eight weeks after the opening.
Check back with The Scoop for an opening date announcement, and until then, stuff yourself silly with this sneak peek of Mike Shannon’s Grill on our Facebook page.
UPDATE 3.11.13: Mike Shannon’s Grill will open on Friday, March 15.
