I've posted before topics which related to rumored restaurants coming to the area and in some cases the information was correct but mostly it was wishful thinking and ended up not being true.

We now have a Taco Garage and soon to have another Mexican themed restaurant called Taco Mama opening somewhere in the Shoals area.  Of the places that I'd still like to see are Firehouse Subs and a Steak & Shake but who knows if or when we ever will see one in the Shoals area.  Killen would also be a  good location for either an expansion of Jack's Family Restaurant or a Burger King restaurant because I do believe these would be supported by Killen the area to the east of the Shoals.  

Time will tell what is to come but hopefully we'll still continue to see growth in the area.

Taco Mama, if what I hear is correct, will be on S Cherry beside Valley Health Foods.  Everyone always wants a steak and shake.  I personally could care less.  Many years ago I would go to one in Atlanta from time to time and really enjoyed it.  Last year I went in one in Jackson Tennessee and it was horrendous.  It may just be that particular restaurant but it really left a bad taste in my mouth... pun intended.

If you are talking about the one just off I40 on the north end of town (Jackson, TN that is) then you aren't mistaken as I also ate at that one and it was horrendous both in quality and service.  Although you most likely will never see one in Alabama when you mentioned Atlanta reminded me of a local place down there that I just love.  "What'll have" ... Varsity Restaurant.

Will Taco Mama build or a new building or will they renovate a building that is already there, do you know? Also I wonder if locating there will benefit Singin' River Brewing in anyway or if they will benefit them any?

It's definitely off the beaten path on Cherry St in the same building/area as Vitamin World and is in an existing building that's being remodeled.  I talked to a few of the electrical workers down there and they said the owners are hoping to open sometime in late May or early June.  As for benefiting the Singin' River Brewery, I can't see it doing any harm because of how close they are going to be located.
