Does anyone know what is going on with Banjo's Roast Beef restaurant, in the former KFC at Mass. Ave. and Walden Street?

It never seems to be open when I walk or ride by it. A sign on the front says that is is temporarily closed for renovations, which I find odd since it opened just seven months ago.

I don't think so--the guy seemed genuinely enthusiastic and with Big! Dreams!

I think he's just not very good at running a restaurant.

yea, I went in during the winter not too long after it opened and the owner was so excited but he really talked my ear off, to the point that I was hesitant to go back. I always found it odd that they never put up a sign on the top of the building, I honestly don't think people going by even knew it was open.

He was almost frighteningly enthusiastic when I went there, giving me free samples of food, extra helpings, and a long lecture about what it's like to run a restaurant and why his is the best ever. My favorite quote: "Opening day? Opening days are crap! No restaurant is ready to open, ever. If you announce your opening day, you'll get a mob, and half of 'em won't get served or get slow service, or you run out of food, and make a bad impression. Every day is my opening day! I never stop opening my restaurant, and change it every day to make it the best it can be!!"
