The placement of the new Mad Taco is very odd.

The demographics exist in this town to support higher end restaurants and mid to upper end soft goods. We have very few of both. It is true that many people do drive to Houston or The Woodlands regularly to enjoy these types of establishments. You can only eat Outback, Saltgrass, Olive Garden or Cheddars so many times before you get sick of them. And none of those are really considered higher end.
And where did I say cheddars was high end? Did you read the last sentence of my post?mAgnoliAg said:RafterAg223 said:

I must've missed it... where will the new Mad Taco and Brazilian steak house be?

Peter Madden knows what he's doing...trust me.
I have inside information about the business that will open next door to Mad Taco, but am sworn to secrecy at the moment. All I'll say is it's food and/or beverage focused.

If you're a cigar smoker there's a cigar shop going in next toCarp'sTBD at Castlegate. Couple of doors down from Taco Casa. Expecting to open around Aug 20.
Could Peter Madden be opening a sports bar?!?TexAg1987 said:LOYAL AG said:

SIAP - heard today that Carps has a new owner and will continue to open it as a sports bar. Hopefully sooner than later.
That's what happens when you have expenses coming in and no revenue to pay for it.Quote:
Carp has a 5 year lease but ran into money issues, or so I am told.

Anyone know what happened to plans to put something in the old building at the corner of University and College Main, across from the Corner Bar? Seems like prime location on Northgate for a restaurant, bar, or club and I remember hearing about plans for it at one point.

La Riviera on S. Texas Ave. in Bryan is closing. Today is the last day, per our server. Possible re-opening sometime in the future, in a College Station location.
