I don't ever eat there. I prefer take out so I can use my own bread at home. Possibly a large amount of people do the same. Maybe for a different reason of course.
quote:I suspect NO business would ever admit they are doing bad and/or failing. That usually does not happen.
Folks who work there tell me they're doing fine. They get business in waves.
And of course as a wise one once said, summers can be tough on restaurants around here.
quote:Every restaurant I passed down the bypass was packed, not just Ihop. Just a odd time to be empty after church was out. Used Ihop since they we next door.
I noticed they're advertising more, like on billboards coming into town. So maybe that and the start of the school year will help them pick up in business.
And it's not really apples to apples when comparing them to IHOP. Lots of folks just stop into IHOP for a cup of coffee and conversation, not 10, 20, 30 dollars in brisket.
quote:I ate there once right after they opened.
and then complain about good BBQ or gourmet burgers do not make this a culinary Mecca.
quote:Agreed with all this.
I am sort of a BBQ snob. I do love good BBQ and I cook a ton of it at home. Some of you really don't know what you are missing and have your noses all bent out of joint over something they have corrected. If you want sauce they actually have a pretty good one and they have all they forks you could possibly want. Years ago Toms served the Aggie Special with by today's standards fairly average BBQ and only a knife and people thought that was great.
Ate there tonight and had a great smoked pork chop. Didn't need a knife or a fork; it came with a built in handle. I got lucky and got an end cut. It was moist, tender and had a nice crispy fat crust.
Between the chop, the shoulder clod, beef rib and smoked prime rib on the weekend, they are doing some really good proteins that you just can't get anywhere else in town. Heck, you can't get them within a 80 miles. I get their sausage isn't for everyone. I like it, the rest of the family doesn't. But I encourage you to branch out and try something besides sausage.
