So when are we finally going to get a "Grandy's" in town?
quote:I went to Abilene last Monday to visit friends and just ride around. I grew up there my whole life until I graduated high school and went to A&M. I drove by the Grandy's on Buffalo Gap and it's still there across the street from my beloved Taco Bueno. I lived near Denton for a couple years after college and there was a Grandy's there close to the Golden Triangle Mall. There's also one in Lewisville on I-35E close to 1171 I think.
It's been years since I've been through Abilene, but 10+ years ago, there was still one open there. I did stop and eat there.
Looking at Google street view, as of May 2013 there is still a Grandy's on Buffalo Gap Road just north of the mall in Abilene. That's the only location that I know of that's still open.

Don't mess with our fast food emotions bro!
quote:There are a number of Grandy's in the Dallas/Ft.Worth area. The closest to B/CS, that I know of, is on I-35 West in Italy, Texas. It's not too far from Hillsboro. It looks nicely run, very clean and had good food. A couple of the ones I've seen around Ft. Worth are pretty sketchy looking just from the outside. I didn't bother to venture inside.quote:I went to Abilene last Monday to visit friends and just ride around. I grew up there my whole life until I graduated high school and went to A&M.

I remember when the Grandy's here closed. Rumor was foreign substance in the gravy......
quote:I worked there for about a month when I was in HS. We would have to stay and clean the place after it closed, and the manager would lock all the doors then leave for the night, saying he was "stopping by bank to make the deposit."
