In a move similar to what happened with El Corral, Back Yard Burgers on University Blvd. closed without warning as last semester was coming to an end. The notice on the door stated it was closed for renovations and opening soon. In the last few days, however, a sign appeared on University Blvd. stating Jimmy Hulas was slated to move in and take its place.
According the Jimmy Hula’s website, the restaurant serves original fish tacos, burgers and beer. It’s a silverware-free place and you order at the counter. The new location will be similar to their Winter Park store, with a large outdoor eating area.
Zach Hartman, a manager at Jimmy Hulas, stated by phone “that the store is slated to open mid-February, if everything goes as plans.” He went on to say they “will be holding a large grand opening event to invite UCF students out after opening.”
