Will that become known as the row of mediocrity?
I've never had Gringos so will reserve judgement but Salt Grass is pretty consistently great. I don't usually get steak there but I have had pretty outstanding pork chops, chicken, shrimp, ribs. I know it is cool & trendy to trash chain restaurants but I've never been disappointed with this Salt Grass.jja79 said:

Ug that doesn't sound good. I'm definitely a spice lover I like getting a little forehead sweat when eating. Ah well at least Mad Taco 2 will be in the same area.jja79 said:
I was actually being facetious. Salt grass is fine with me. The comment was more aimed at the typica putting l chain down.
Gringos lives up to its name though. If you like mild you'll love it.

Do you have any other information on this? or Anyone?MiMi said:Charter schoolQuote:
Anybody know what the construction is on Longmire near Bridle Trails? I know someone asked previously, but there were no answers, so I thought I'd ask a second time.

Grand Stafford is closing at the end of this month.
The Stafford (as far as people) is moving to the Ice House - there will still be a larger fancy venue downtown for live music. The Stafford (the building) has been sold, and is likely turning into something other than a music venue. I played my last Stafford show on Sunday and felt no feels, but I will cry and buy the bar if Rev is ever threatened with closing. It does far more for indie bands than the current iteration of the Stafford.FlyRod said:
I don't think I've ever been this upset about a local business closing. Ugh. Saw so many friends play there...a few of who have gone on to become big names. That's it for indie bands in this town.
Outback sort of declined in quality and value, too, over the years. The other problem is just the shift of restaurants. At one time, that section of Texas Avenue was where all the (few) chain restaurants were (Olive Garden, Fuddruckers were others) with other restaurants further down the block. But today, Texas Avenue in College Station doesn't have the sit-down places like it used to. Kettle is still there but who knows for how long (it was a chain but now the College Station one is one of the very last stores in existence), Fort Shiloh is long-gone, Confucius Chinese Cuisine is long gone, Olive Garden packed up after it burned down, Fuddruckers left years ago for new digs on Harvey Road, Pelican's Wharf and the restaurants that succeeded it is gone. All that's really left on Texas Avenue is fast food type places (DQ, McDonald's, CFA, JBX, Panda Express). Today, the big chain restaurants are closer to the bypass or corridors like University or Harvey.eloc62 said:
Went out to eat at Outback tonight. Hadn't been there in a couple of years. The lack of people there was weird. maybe 20% full. does anybody eat there anymore? I remember 10 yrs ago that was the go to place, but that was then, this is now. so many other places to eat. are they falling by the wayside?
Ah, the Ponderosa (before it became a Howard Johnson property). One of College Station's finer hotels. I guess that's still a good location.PS3D said:
Also don't forget the Microtel Inn off Ponderosa and Hwy. 6 in terms of new hotels coming.

This price-point will be on the high-end, but I am glad to see a property like this in town.Quote:
