Agreed re Poppy...the first real small plates place BCS has had, and a better-than-average wine list. Have had great fun taking out of towners there.

Eventually they need to put a few older crowd bars in Downtown Bryan

After popping a cereal ball into your mouth, a liquid nitrogen fog streams out of your nose or mouth. This is probably where the treat got its "Dragon's Breath" name.
Colorful photos of the foggy snack have popped up on Instagram, causing virtual heads to turn.
As usual, if you try to idiot proof something, the idiots get.... "better"...halibut sinclair said:

I definitely like getting some feedback as we go! There are definitely a lot of great locations around town (and +/- to all of them), but I also wanted to pick a spot that will leave me opportunity to potentially open more locations down the road. With BSW, The Med, HWY6 traffic and a ton of rooftops in the 3mi radius, I'm thinking this location should be pretty convenient for a lot of folks. I think once people realize how easy it'll be to get in/out (especially compared to fighting traffic/poor design in Kroger lot), and hopefully when everyone realizes that we truly offer a superior sandwich, it'll be a hit! Another benefit will be ability to use the U-turns at RP and Barron to expedite process of skipping lights as well!Captn_Ag05 said:
Easy access form Rock Prairie, a large development going up close by, BSW in the backyard...I think the location will be just fine.
Question for owner - will the location have delivery?
Where is Aloha Poke? I know where Honolulu Poke House is. (Kohl's shopping center)Tailgate88 said:
Two things...
Construction is coming along at RX Pizza south, and they have a porch! Outdoor eating fans rejoice for another option!
Finally got to Aloha Poke today and will definitely be back. The "regular" size included a very generous portion of fish (tuna and salmon were my choices) plus several other veggies. They have a good variety to choose from. If you like poke (or sushi) you should enjoy it. Everything was fresh and delicious, the service was quick and courteous, and at around $10 (I upgraded to seaweed salad) it was reasonable for a sushi lunch.
I give it 6 months or so. The KBTX spot made me want to try it even less.Captn_Ag05 said:
Saw on KBTX that a place called Dragon's Breath is now open in Post Oak. They serve cereal balls frozen by liquid nitrogen.
Sounds like a one-hit wonder kind of ordeal.Captn_Ag05 said:
Agree - they take cereal that they admit isn't very good and freeze it with liquid nitrogen and then put sno cone liquid on it. I guess there is some appeal because it looks cool, but once you have done it, I can't imagine people going back.

I drove by Golden Corral today and it looks like they've taken it down to studs. That's quite the remodel.
WOw Saltgrass is north College Station now (they originally said "North College Station" for location)?Captn_Ag05 said:
City of CS development submissions this week include the site plan for Walk-ons, which will be located next to Saltgrass, and a 115 home development called Wellborn Settlement between Wellborn and Royder.
I had a Philly cheesesteak in Philly at one of the prime spots that left me underwhelmed. I think it was the Cheez Whiz.Oogway said:
Mostly I'm crossing my fingers that the Philly is legit. I have been teased before by promises of a superb Philly only to have my hopes dashed.....
I was certainly surprised with the location. But, with Saltgrass, Walk-ons, and Gringos all going in a row, it is a nice collection of restaurants (granted all chains).KidDoc said:WOw Saltgrass is north College Station now (they originally said "North College Station" for location)?Captn_Ag05 said:

I'm happy with that location as far as my personal use but it would be better fitted in North Gate similar to the one in Baton Rouge that is in walking distance of campus.

Site plans for Sandy's Bar and Grill. They will have six sand volleyball courts in addition to the restaurant and bar. To be located off Shiloh in Bryan.

My understanding is they are doing an underpass like the other campus roads at Wellborn but I have no proof of this. If it is an underpass I think the plan is to build nothing but roads in that spot.Geop84 said:
Does anyone know what is going to be built at Bush and Wellborn? They are grading the lot where they tore down the old apartments.
I looked but couldn't find it on the front page.
