Then he wasn't ready to open.

That's a little harsh don't u think? If you were paying thousands on a lease would you "wait" a month to open or would you do a soft opening like most businesses to work out early kinks yet still make some sales to pay them bills?

You can't tell Jja that. He's an expert on everything.

Actually no fonzie. Not at all. This is a message board and it's mostly people's opinions. My opinion is he wasn't ready to open if he's not staffed. Doesn't make me an expert, just means I have an opinion.

We went to try his business today and he was closed. His competitors were open. Since I wasn't able to try his business tell me this. Is it so much better than the competition that's open normal business hours that it should be given another chance?

I was hoping for Another Broken Egg. Much better menu and concept. They even pack them in for lunch.

The only time I ate at Another Broken Egg may have been the most overpriced breakfast I have ever eaten.

I heard they had a soft opening Saturday, but I've seen no review from He Who Shall Not Be Named to let us know if we should try it or not.

That place looks great!

Though after looking at the nutrition info posted, might be a good idea to ask them to go easy on the salt...wow.

I believe the place is called "First Watch". http://www.firstwatch.com

Either way. A breakfast option not named Denny's or IHOP is great by me!
They have College Station on their coming soon page. That location next to Hungry Howies is in Bryan.

*Update

The location next to Hungry Howies is the location. It will be the first location in Texas. But the website lists the wrong city as the location. 4501 S. Texas Ave. in Bryan not College Station.

Another Broken Egg is a client of mine. I met with the group that owns most of the Texas rights on Friday and am trying to push them here. They are developing Dallas, Austin.and San Antonio first but he did show interest in College Station.

Had to chuckle at that Bundt cake place. I remember my mother talking about how those things were "in" during the '70s...

Rx Pizza opens on Monday, 5/16, in Downtown Bryan. We've been watching the progress as the owner of the business has definitely put sweat equity into bringing new life to this historic building. Welcome to the neighborhood!

The owner definitely gets a 100. The inside is beautiful.

Thanks for posting their website. I see that they also designed Carini Townhouses close to Downtown Bryan.

Great to see downtown Bryan doing so well. Making it a regular destination, particularly on weekends when I love the buzz of activity. Night and day from 10 years ago. Kudos to all those driving the great changes.

Stopped by rx pizza tonight. Didn't eat, just went to say hi. The people there are friendly, which is already a win in my book. I'll be happy to eat there.

Ate at RX Pizza tonight and it was excellent! Everything was top notch and the atmosphere is amazing. This place is going to do very well and I feel like it will help take downtown Bryan a different direction. The hours are great as it's open until 11PM every night expect for Thursday, Friday and Saturday where it will be open until 2AM. Owner was as nice as can be and took a lot of time to tell me about the restaurant. Do yourself a favor and go try this place.

Talking to the girls at work, that new bundt place is supposed to be amazing. They rave about the ones they've been to before. I have a huge sweet tooth on my free-day. As an athlete I am egg-cited about the healthy breakfast meals at First Watch. Love livin' in the twin-cities, it's getting exciting here!

Ronin Cooking to Bring Fresh Farm Fare to Bryan's Ice House on Main

Ronin Cooking, best known for fine farm-to-table meals served at their Full Moon Dinners and catered events, will be serving up fresh food at the Ice House on Main's new farm-to-table restaurant as early as this fall. Ronin and AdventGX, the Ice House developer, entered into an agreement for the new Downtown Bryan restaurant this week.

Didn't see this listed on the front page but I received a mailer from Smash Burger saying "We're in your neighborhood" 233 Houston Street College Station, TX

What's the scoop? Is it open yet?

Agreed. The wife and I called a few months ago just outta curiosity, and they said they had literally just approved a franchisee.

Place is awesome.

That's what I'd call snail mail.

Ronin Cooking is some of the best food I've had in BCS, ever. This a great development for Bryan.

Blake from Big Daddy Z's food truck shutting down and starting a new truck selling cheesesteaks called "Blake's Steaks." Not my thing, but seems like it will do well in BCS.
