Chef Tai tweeted "Something exciting is coming to @KyleField_12th for this upcoming Football Season." He didn't elaborate.
Is he with Levy? If so I'm not buying.

I don't know about that part, because he didn't say what he's got going on. From volunteering at concessions, what I've seen is that the vendors inside work with Levy to be there. - To clarify, I haven't asked each one, but the ones I have spoken to do.

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.
I'm surprised it hung on as long as it did. It was easily the worst of "nice" restaurants in town, but their prices matched Christopher's. They are in need of a reboot in the worst possible way.
Sounds like they are addressing their worst problem, which was their huge, weirdly decorated, and almost always empty space. I'd give it another shot in a more appropriate space.
Denny's in College Station will undergo renovation beginning Aug. 6. Supposed to reopen about two weeks later.
The draft beer cooler is out at Buffalo Wild Wings. They hope it is repaired by Tuesday, July 25 or so. In the interim the only drafts available are Miller Lite and Dos Equis, thanks to a temporary cooler supplied through their Miller sales force. Bartenders and managers are doing yeoman's service trying to keep some (very, very cold) draft flowing.
For this who use the Frequent Visitor cards at Chuys, the new cards require just six punches, rather than the previous ten, to get a free entree.

Chuys has a frequent visitor card?
Sad to hear this. I really liked their pizza. they kept saying they were going to open a place in CS,, but never did. wonder if they would have made it in south CS?FlyRod said:
Papa Murphy's Pizza in the Tejas Center has closed.
If they didn't make it in their old location I would say no. They had a good product in the right spot. Don't really know what happened. Sad to see them gone.
Papa Murphys are closing in droves. Basically franchises are being forced to make expensive cosmetic upgrades, pay more into advertising pool, and offer some menu items below cost. So cheaper to bail than invest more and take a lower or no margin. Lots of this happening, suspect Dickies may have suffered similar fate, they are closing in droves after agreement changes.
The fast service franchise game is going to really hurt people. Especially lower tier products like above mentioned.
Chuys got rid of double stamps on Monday and Tuesday as a sort of compromise.
Franchisors are big on this kind of thing. They cut a deal with some vendor, promise 100% franchisee participation in exchange for a great deal to the company owned locations. Cosmetic upgrades every 2 or 3 years are being required and they hold the renewal of the franchisees' contracts over their heads. (this kind of thing even goes to choosing the credit card processor)
Additionally, they often make client offerings that are neither profitable nor beneficial for the franchisee, but go to the companies' shareholder reports as "increase in clients served".
And don't even get me started on encroachment on the franchisees' geographic territory with web-based offerings. That's a whole other can of worms. ....sorry for the derail.

It used to be argued by some on this board, that chains never close, and have staying power the local guys don't. I guess not.
Stickied! Thanks, Staff!
Wing Stop is adding a location at the Boonville Kroger Shopping Center.

I'm still disappointed that it is going to be a Gringo's and not a Jimmy Changas....
Said no one ever. Gringo's is their premier brand.
I will go there since it's basically the same food. Just wanted another family friendly option in South CS with a playground.
Great. Subpar cookie cutter Mexican food for white people. It will kill.
lol. That is an interesting take.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
So, it looks like (and I may have heard this) but La Botana (George Bush) is closed, and it's becoming ...?
Good Bull BBQ

SIAP, but the design plans for the Gringos is online:
The Gringos in Cypress is family friendly and has a playground/ play area out front in the waiting area. Seems like it has all you request, unless the playground isn't typical of the other Gringos restaurants.
Actually their menu looks pretty good, with plenty of choices for those who like to eat unhealthy or healthy.
I had a day training out of town a few months ago. They had lunch catered by Gringos. That was some of the best fajita meat I have ever had! I am looking forward to this opening here!
Earlier today I saw a taco "wagon" or small trailer that said "el Tio" on it.
Maybe they are branching out from the Bryan location.
