So the wife and I went to the mall for lunch today, and Corn Dog 7 has shut down. That was about the only place to get a decent corn dog in this town.

If memory serves, the also offered a fried hunk of cheese on a stick.
I blame these kids today with their triglycerides and their rap music.

No more year round funnel cake.

Noooooo!!! What will my wife eat when we do go to the mall? She needs her twice a year corn dog fix!
BOO!!!
Wow, except for Taste of the Tropics and Chick-Fil-A, it was the last of the original places in the Food Court. Man, I remember when you had choices to eat on both sides.
I feel the need to fresh squeeze some lemonade, and then pour some out in honor.
Is it just me, or is Post Oak becoming one of those "ghetto malls" like Greenspoint (etreme example I know), or like Manor East before they closed??
I agree, it's getting worse. The choices that the food court offers are pretty sad.
They have a Sonic, so it's not all bad
That stinks...their corndogs are killer. Much better even than the ones at Wienerschnitzel. So there used to be food places over on the other side of the food court seating, where there are retail stores now?
I remeber there was a bbq place called the wagon wheel where the sunglass hut and ball cap store are. After that, it became a subway for a while.
PO is nowhere near a Gunspoint. Not even close, even with the carnies in town.
I would say the stores added and indoor improvements made over the last 5-10 years are a good thing.
Not sure how a corn dog place (blech) leaving means the demise of the mall...

Yeah, the choices have gotten slim. I remember a fried seafood place, a Wagon Wheel Barbeque, Mc Donalds and Funnel Cakery. But that was when there was a bar and grill (not Kay's, I forget the name)where Chuckie Cheese's is right now. circa 1982.
Wasn't Corn Dog 7 an original since the 1983 opening? Post Oak Mall will celebrate its Silver Anniverary this year if my memory is correct.
You can still get your corn dog fix at Hot Dogs Etc. downtown. But losing another place to eat is just one more nail in the mall's coffin.
Back in the day you could take the family for a day at the mall (and we often did) and eat at Wyatt's Cafeteria- later Luby's- or a wide variety of choices in the food court. There was a three screen cinema.
Now we go there only if there is a specific item that we can't get anywhere else, or if one of the grandbabies has a party at Chuck E. Cheese.
As best I remember the mall opened in the mid 70's. We'd put our daughter (now almost 34 years old) in her stroller and have a great time.
When that huge center with the Super Target opens it's going to do major damage to the mall. But at least it's not listed on http:/www.deadmalls.com yet.

yeah i would go to karoake at Chelsea Street Pub
The food court had a McDonalds and a Subway. My guess is those are gone too?

The Post Oak Mall opened in 1982 or '83. I worked in a shop there right after it opened.
My older sis worked at Wilson's when the mall opened. I was one of the neighborhood street punks that hung around there.
Giovanni's Pizza used to be where Gymboree's window is now. The Wagon Wheel also served beer when it was around. Swenson's had a place where that ice cream/fruit slushee place is across from American Eagle.
And of course, American Eagle used to be TimeOut, and in the 80s, that was the arcade to go to.
"Losing a corn dog place" doesn't mean the death of the mall, but it is a sign that the profitablity of food service is declining, most likely due to lower traffic. I agree with the above poster about spending a day at the mall with family, and eating there. Back in the mid-80s, whenever my grandparents came to town, we'd do the same thing on Saturday's. But now I loathe going there, just because there is hardly anything there that interests me. I buy most of my apparel elsewhere. And if I do eat there, it's Chick-Fil-A, just b/c in CS (currently) that's the only place to get it. It's kinda sad, but it is the going trend of malls declining.

The Wagon Wheel - I completely forgot about that place!
Jrod, sorry, but I beg to differ. Alladin's Castle in Manor East was waaaaaaaaaay better than Time-Out.
jk, that is true. But growing up in CS in the 80s, we hardly drove to Manor East for anything, except to go to Wal-Mart, so my experience was limited to PO. But I will say, the few times we went to Aladdin's, it was awesome.

And where might that be???

Oh you know where...btw they are having a killer sale right now. I haven't been able to go by, but they have some good lookin' stuff.
according to some people that work at the mall, corn dog 7 closed down due to health code violations. after many years working in the mall, that does not surprise me.

NO WAY!
JRod, I need some new shoes. But they're always 20 off at Bank and never more (or so it seems). Waiting on next dept store fire sale.
99, do you ever check the Jos website? That's traditionally where they have Cole Haan/Johnston Murphy sales. Now most times, it may not be the style shoe you're looking for, but I have found a pair from time to time.
If they were still open, I always went to Larry's Shoes in Houston or Dallas. But apparently the reason you could get great shoes for a great price was they weren't making enough money...

That really wouldn't surprise me either, but dang they had good tasting corn dogs.
Man...Corn Dog 7 just remodeled a couple years ago too. Hey, maybe a Corn Dog On A Stick will open up in its place!
