It reads like it is comparable to a Rosa's - tex-mex to go. So, I think that is why the pricing was a little surprising to some. I agree margs delivered will do well.

Not intending to sound judgmental here but what is the attraction for a Hooter's restaurant? I've eaten in one in Austin and one in Houston, the food was barely average at best, the servers were average at best, etc.




To each his own but i actually do like the wings here too.

I have been to a couple in Houston. Very small with 4-5 tables. Mostly built for to go. The kitchen takes up 75% of the restaurant.

I am not a big wings fan, so I have not ever tried them there. I have had shrimp and sandwiches/burgers there and did not see anything special about them.

Like you said, to each his own.

CS Council approved a rezoning last night to allow for construction of the senior living community to be built near BSW hospital. The plan calls for an initial construction of 120 apartment homes, restricted to 62 and older residents, with 80% being income-restricted housing.

Isn't that senior housing apartments over behind the Methodist Church near there that are also under construction, or am I incorrect? Where are we going to be getting all these seniors from, if so?!

Every affordable senior living facility in town for rent has a waiting list. There is huge demand. The Methodist Retirement Community project you speak of (The Langford) will not be for rent. It will be a buy in product. The local developer on the senior project near Scott and White is going to be footing the bill for a lot of utility infrastructure and improvement, thus breathing some good life in to the potential development of some nice projects on the East side of 6.

Sounds great if they can fill them -- I'll just look to spend twice as long shopping in Kroger on Rock Prairie, though.

My parents wanted to relocate to College Station after retirement, but they were looking for an age-restricted community. The waiting lists were years (except at the I believe Traditions one but that wasn't in their budget). Many folks from different areas of the state were on the lists. They were debating on whether to wait it out in the Beaumont area, but ended up in Georgetown. Thank goodness they sold their home and moved because they would have been without a home after Harvey.

All that to say, I agree that there is demand for a development such as this and hope a few more follow as well.

I want to move back to B/CS when I retire. Is there a retirement community that is houses, not apartments?

Seems like the neighborhood behind the Bryan Post Office is age restricted to retirement folks.

KBTX says new South CS Rx Pizza open on Greens Prairie.
The new location opened last week for lunch (11am - 3pm) Monday-Friday. Per their website - they will be open these limited hours while they complete their staff. We went Friday for lunch. The menu and dcor are identical to the Bryan location. Love the large patio. Happy to have another great dining option in that part of town!
We had quite a different experience tonight (Saturday). My wife and I went about 6:45. We were offered outside seats in the sun (it was 95 degrees), or at the bar. I pointed to 4 empty 4 tops and asked if we could sit there. The hostess said the were holding those IN CASE A TABLE FOR 4 CAME IN! And, as we left, those 4 tables were still open. So, Rx Pizza values customers who don't come in more than they value customers don't. Pizza was good, but not so good as to overcome their corporate culture. We won't be back.

That doesn't sound like corporate culture at all. That sounds like poor judgement by a hostess. Very likely not reflective of the culture of the concept.

Wasn't just the hostess. The bartender asked us twice if we'd ordered anything from the kitchen and when it came time to check out, couldn't remember what drinks we ordered. For entertainment, we got the pleasure of hearing employees speaking ill of their fellow employees. It's the culture. We won't be back.

Well that's different. Sounds even less corporate. Sounds unorganized. I feel for the owner. I know he means better.

Staff in this town are frustrating anyway. So much youth that doesn't consider the work a "real job".

I've been to the new Rx twice with friends once for lunch and family once for dinner. Both times had great experiences. Food was great, service quick and friendly. Hope it does well; we need to keep the few dining options we have on this side of town going.

Went to the new Rx a couple of weeks ago. The center of the pizza was super soggy. That said, I will give them second try.

I've eaten at the DT Bryan RX many times. They can be a little inconsistent at times. But their overall quality and service makes up for it.

I went to the new RxPizza. I've never been to the other location. Great service, but I was a little underwhelmed with the overall taste of the pizza. I'm sure I will try it again, but I prefer Mad Taco next door.

I don't know about age restrictions but this is a nice neighborhood my sons grandparents just moved into.

I can confirm it has an age restriction of 55 and up. I just visited a lady that lives there last weekend.

I have updated the front page. I know I missed a lot, so if anyone wants to help me out and list what I missed, please do so.

Also hearing that there maybe some truth to a grocery store/shopping center looking to go in at Boonvillle and University Drive.

Thanks for the help guys.

I also wanted to add that we have a new food truck called Krab Kingz. I don't know if they are looking for a permanent location, but their food is really good with great prices and great portions.

Leslie's Pool Supplies going in next to the new Starbucks at the corner of Arrington and Fitch. There is one more empty space between the two from the looks of things.
