Pete's is across the street. The building being torn down was the Wilton Johnson & Sons gas station. BrazosCAD says the current owner is Villa 29 Property with an address in Pebble Creek.

*Edited cause I looked it up.

Pete's is across the street. That was the Wilton Johnson gas station. I believe St. Joseph owns the property now.

Still no news about Jones Crossing development? That "couple of weeks" until tenants will be announced in December sure is dragging by. I was surprised at the size of the development when I drove by there a couple of days ago.

Per the CS Economic Development rep who was on WTAW last night, HEB shooting to open in July. They have several letters of intent from other tenants but no actual leases signed, but they are hoping to announce the first batch of 6-7 tenants including restaurants in the next 60 days.

I know where Pete's is now, I am talking about way before that garage was ever built at that location.

Good info! Hopefully the tenants won't be the typical nail salon, cell phone place, etc.

Pete's was still across 29th where the Burger King/convenience store is now.

Didn't see this on the list or discussed in the last few pages... I stopped by Taqueria Poblana on the way back from the tax office, and it was pretty good. The tacos are more authentic Mexican than Tex-Mex (double corn tortilla, meat, cilantro, onions), which I like, and it was $6 for a plate of four. Also lime, cucumber, and radish on the side, which was a bit different, but I kinda liked it.

They have the spit with the "pastor"/"trompo" meat grilled on it (pork, onions, pineapple), similar to how some places do gyros. It was pretty good, but I liked the barbacoa even better. The beef & chicken fajita tacos were decent, but paled in comparison to the trompo and barbacoa. I accidentally grabbed some orange hot sauce thinking it was the red sauce... oops, that's habanero sauce! I ended up liking the habanero sauce the best though -- it's definitely spicy, but not as much as you might expect.

It's in the gas station at Boonville/Briarcrest, aka the original Stover Boys location. Definitely going back!

Yeah, they use a Square reader on a phone or tablet or something like that.

Do you know that or is that a guess? Would that be a second Krispy Kreme location (in addition to the Harvey Road location)?

Prolly not far from the truth. Chick Fil A is the best fast food thing going right now because they choose to do one thing, and do it better than anybody else. just chicken. Pretty good business model. heard they brine their chicken in pickle juice. I tried to recreate the recipe one day. It was close, but i don't have a pressure fryer. think that was the difference.

Shout out to locals eating out while the students are gone - All the Kings Men is highly recommended. Ate there for the first time. The turkey and brisket were wonderful, both lean and tender at the same time. The sides were delicious and imaginative. Gouda mac and cheese! Grits! Apple slaw was refreshing. Espresso BBQ sauce is a good option as well as the house sauce, if you like sauce. Get there this week, and anytime that is not First Friday.

Just drove by Fuddruckers.
Looks look they are either closing their doors or having a serious remodel.

That's too bad. If they were transforming into a Luby's/Fuddruckers combo restaurant, that'd be worth writing about.

Was that one and the Cici's that closed recently by Lowe's on 40 have the same owners?

I would think Cicis would do pretty well with the college crowd. Maybe they are spending their parent's money on Blaze and Urban Brick.

Katy on Candy95 was talking on air this morning about one being closed and now Yelp is listing it as closed.

That is exactly it. These kids are spoiled. They want hand crafted food and beer. No fast food for these kids. I am jealous.
