News Elsewhere: Chef Wayne's Big Mamou in Springfield Is Closing; Cajun on the Go to Remain in Operation

A legendary Pioneer Valley restaurant is shutting down for good, though a kiosk that is affiliated with the place will remain open.

According to a source, Chef Wayne's Big Mamou in Springfield is closing permanently on July 1, with a Facebook post from owner Wayne Hooker saying that he is planning to retire from the Liberty Street eatery, though an affiliated takeout and delivery spot on Worthington Street called Chef Wayne's Big Mamou Cajun on the Go will continue to run. (In the Facebook post, Hooker says "it will become my new job.") A Mass Live article mentions that the COVID-19 pandemic played a big role in Hooker's decision to close, as he says that "I can't survive on a partial dining room. And even if it opens up at full capacity, you're still going to have those people who have the corona anxieties and don't want to be in crowds." Chef Wayne's Big Mamou offered takeout during the restaurant shutdown that began in March, and the dining spot will continue to do so until it closes next week.

Chef Wayne's Big Mamou first opened in the mid-1990s, with the restaurant offering a variety of Cajun and Creole dishes including crawfish quesadillas, po'boys, spinach and chicken cakes, fried oysters, jambalaya, chicken etoufee, meatloaf, and blackened catfish.

The address for Chef Wayne's Big Mamou is 63 Liberty Street, Springfield, MA, 01103.

Revelry to Open in Waltham

A couple of weeks ago, it was reported that a Cuban restaurant in Waltham was planning to move to a new location, and now we have learned that a familiar name will be taking over its soon-to-be-vacated space.

According to an article in the Patch, Revelry is opening on Main Street, moving into the space where Gustazo Cuban Cafe resides until it moves to the former Garcia Brogan's space on Moody Street. The post mentions that this is indeed the same Revelry whose truck is often set up at the soon-to-close Coppersmith in South Boston--and Coppersmith owner Gerry Curtin is behind the opening of what will apparently be a brick-and-mortar version of the truck, which means it could be a Cajun/New Orleans-style restaurant.

Coppersmith plans to close early next month, as a life sciences development is being built at its site.

The address for the upcoming location of Revelry is 663 Main Street, Waltham, MA, 02451. The website for the food truck is at http://www.revelryboston.com/

Richards Is Opening in the Former Tex Mex Eats/Tupelo Space in Cambridge's Inman Square

It looks like a new restaurant is on its way to Cambridge, taking over the space where a Tex-Mex pop-up and a few Southern restaurants had been.

According to a source, Richards going to be opening in Inman Square, though there had been some initial confusion as to whether a long-closed restaurant called Cajun Yankee may be returning to the Cambridge Street space. Another source sent us a picture showing that signs for that dining spot were up, though it now appears that these may be the old Cajun Yankee signs that were under the old Tupelo signs.

The website for Richards says that this is the first venture for Richard III and Sarah Graham, and that the menu will have a"variety of options to please everyone from the pickiest diner to the very adventurous," though a menu is not yet up for the place.

The space in which Richards is opening had been home to Tex Mex Eats, Tupelo, Magnolia's Southern Cuisine, and Cajun Yankee.

The address for the upcoming Richards is 1193 Cambridge Street, Cambridge, MA, 02139. Its website can be found at https://richards02139.com/

[September 5 update: An article from boston.com indicates that Richards plans to open on September 27, and that it will feature New American fare along with beer and wine, with the plan being to open for dinner only at first, though its hours could eventually be extended.]

[September 27 update: A Facebook post from the place indicates that Richards will not be opening tonight after all, as the opening date has been pushed back to Wednesday, October 2.]

[October 2 update: Eater Boston states that Richards indeed opens this evening, though it will be more of a soft opening with a limited menu. (The post says that the restaurant will have more of a grand opening tomorrow.)]

The address for this now-closed Cajun seafood restaurant in Framingham was: Cracking Crab, 290 Worcester Road (Route 9), Framingham, MA, 01702.

Tupelo in Cambridge's Inman Square Is Closing

by Marc Hurwitz

A popular Cambridge restaurant that features comfort food with Southern influences is shutting down.

A message sent to us this afternoon indicates that Tupelo in Inman Square is closing, with a Facebook post from the Cambridge Street spot stating that "With deep regret, Tupelo will be closing its doors after brunch October 7th for good." The Facebook thread indicates that its closure is due at least in part to difficulties in finding staff, an issue that has been echoed by a number of other Boston-area restaurants and bars over recent times.

Tupelo first opened in 2009, with owners Renee McLeod (who also runs Petsi Pies) and Mike Walker offering food items with Southern leanings as well as New England influences. The menu includes such items as gumbo, fried oysters, blackened catfish, fried chicken, brisket, red beans and rice, grits, and collard greens.

The address for Tupelo is 1193 Cambridge Street, Cambridge, MA, 02139. Its website can be found at http://tupelo02139.com/

Shaking Crab Taking Over the Tavern in the Square Space in Cambridge's Porter Square

An expanding group of Cajun seafood places is planning to open in Cambridge, and it may be taking over the space where a location of a local group of restaurants and bars resides.

According to a license commission agenda page within the city's website, Shaking Crab is looking to open in the Porter Exchange building in Porter Square, and based on the fact that it would be taking over the liquor license held by JMRSS Restaurant, Inc., it appears that it might move into the Tavern in the Square space. (JMRSS Restaurant, Inc. is the parent company for that spot.) If approved, the new location of Shaking Crab would join others in Newton and Quincy, along with a proposed location in the former Troquet space on Boylston Street by Boston Common (Troquet has since moved to Boston's Leather District).

An earlier article from Eater Boston had mentioned that Shaking Crab could be coming to the Porter Exchange building, but at the time, it was not known where exactly it might open within the building.

Shaking Crab offers such items as fried oysters, crab legs, mussels, shrimp, and lobster.

The address for this proposed Cajun spot in the Porter Exchange building is: Shaking Crab, 1815 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA, 02140. The website for the original location in Newton can be found at http://www.shakingcrabnewtonma.com/

[August 18 update: It looks like Shaking Crab is indeed on its way to the Tavern in the Square space (which recently closed), as a Twitter post shows that a sign is now up for the place.]

[December 7 update: An email sent today indicates that Shaking Crab soft-opens in the former Tavern in the Square space on Friday, December 15.]
