even if the price point is say a third less can the market handle a $40 per meal joint?
i'd love to see it here as I'd be there once a month at least but just wondering about the market.
I think the answer to that is yes. Republic, Veritas, Christopher's, all run above those prices. Plus there is plenty of need for diversity in the restaurant market here. As long as it's not another chicken, burger or tex mex place, the market should be able to handle it.
The thing about those *pricey* places is you don't need to rack up a huge bill either, if you're careful. Have a few apps, or one of the smaller steaks for example. Many of the entrees at Veritas offer smaller portions of the main course for half the price (though they don't publicize this very widely). No one will look at you funny if you don't order the most expensive thing(s) on the menus at these places.
Also, we are getting an increase in out of town convention/conference/workshop folks on expense accounts, so that will help keep such restaurants afloat as well. Those people aren't looking for burgers and chicken fingers.

He's a very well established, very successful business man. I don't think he has any experience in the food industry though, but as long as he hires good management he should be fine.
Can we get back to "Coming and Going?"
Brazilian style steakhouse: possibly "coming," apparently.
Verified "coming": Taqueria Esmeralda, downtown Bryan.

Thanks! The last link I was looking at was the new Speedway neighborhood.
When is Aldi opening?

Been hearing rumors that Halo might not be coming back. Anybody know anything about that?
It seemed like a pretty popular and successful business. Why don't you want it to re-open?
Heard they are remodeling and expanding.
Can't understand why anyone wouldn't want the place to re-open. Takes all kinds I guess...

Nothing seems to be moving over there. I hope it will be back eventually, but haven't heard anything positive recently.
Twisted Noodle has opened. They don't seem to be doing the hours their website says yet though.

That link has the hours. Mon-Sat 11am-10pm. Sunday 12-10.
On Highway 21, near 2818, there appears to be a new barbecue place called Big Easy.
The reason I say they are not doing those hours yet is that I saw it was already closed by 9 p.m. Friday and did not look like it had just closed, and the website says they are open until 10 on Friday. So, I do not know what hours they are actually doing, but the "coming soon" sign is gone, and it looks like it had opened.
quote:Oh my bad. I misread your original post. I read it as you didn't see their hours posted on the website.

They make noodles from meat?
That's awesome!
Budget Brazilian steak house? What could go wrong?
Oh please God no. Fogo de Cho is bad enough as is.

Oh I love beef. Maybe I just caught them on an off day. All but one cut was incredibly tough. This was at the downtown Austin location.
I get ya. The dude that was sitting next to me at Schlotzsky's a million years ago told me that he was opening a place to view Christmas lights....Santa's Wonderland. Yah, right?
This kind of place would make the husband very happy.

There appears to be a new BBQ place on Hwy 21, not that far from Shannon's. Sign out says "Big Easy Pit BBQ." Could find no information about it.

Aeropostale is closing. Looks like the company filed for bankruptcy.
Okay, why are they moving dirt again by Wheeler Ridge?
