Had my last experience at Casa Rod for a while. Horrible service. Cold food. Manager not interested

Bummer. Had the Memo last week, hot, fast, great service. I'm not among those that think it's the best, but it's pretty good. I'm a regular.

That's the only plate I get there. Their crispy tacos are good also because they use ground beef not that soupy ***** Never had bad service or cold food.

Has anyone tried Tad's food truck by Lowe's @ Fitch? Just curious as to what they are offering.

I have not but curious as well. I went to Lowe's Saturday evening and there was 4-5 cars there so I assume something good is going on there

Casa Rod > Gringos
Will have to agree to disagree there. Casa Rod is the most overrated Tex-Mex in BCS.
I would go Papa Perez, San Jose, Jose's, and Cilantro over Casa Rod all day long
I would go to Taco Bell over Casa Rod all day long.

There's a strawberry skittles freeze. But you gotta add your own booze.

Had a buddy who ate at Casa Rod this past Saturday night who said the entire kitchen except for one and most of the wait staff quit mid shift.

JERSEY MIKE'S UPDATE:

Wanted to give everyone an update on the progress with the initial Jersey Mike's BCS store. We are getting VERY close to wrapping up the final terms of our lease and will soon get to actually make some tangible progress! We are excited to announce that we will be located in the new development at Rock Prairie/Hwy6 in front of the Baylor Scott & White Hospital. Currently there's a Smoothie King in the left end cap and we plan to occupy the middle monument tower. Since we don't have the signed lease in hand or buidling permits, an open date is a shot in the dark, but I am hopeful that we will be able to get something rolling by September, just in time to watch the Aggies BTHO! We're really excited to bring this fresh and healthy option to BCS and look forward to serving and giving back to the community that's given my family so much through the years! We appreciate all the support!

Exciting news and congratulations on selecting a location!

I wondered what else may be going in to that location in addition to the Smoothie King. Seems like a great spot. I wonder if there has been any interest in the pad sites front.

Site plans for Burger Mojo on University and Spice World in Caprock Crossing now available on city of CS website. I am surprised that Burger Mojo will have a drive-through and the interior looks pretty small. I figured it would be more of a sit down type place. I also worry about how the logistics of a drive-through will work in that space.

During negotiations, we were told that a Mexican food restaurant was making a deal for the right end cap. I haven't had a chance to inquire any further but I'll probe a bit to see if I can get some breaking news! Haven't heard them say that they've had any bites on the pads but I'm sure as soon as they get the cut through road behind Lowe's-S&W, it won't take long to start filling up. W. Phillips got a plan for 600 homes approved for that new cut through! Is YMCA still proposed for that area as well?

My speculation is that it will be much like the Asian Market next to Tractor Supply, but with more of an Indian / Middle Eastern focus. It looks fairly small. Hopefully they'll have a kitchen/snack bar too.

I actually thought it looked a pretty decent size for a specialty mart. Site plans call for the building to be around 9,000 square feet. Trying to think of a good size comparison, but a free-standing dollar general store is usually around 7,000-7,500 square feet.

I think you're right. I'd love some more Indian options (still love Taz) and the drive is less than to the Mini, mini Mart for spices.

By small, I meant I was kinda hoping for larger (more stuff besides packaged) and an eatery inside.

If Fuego's drive through can work, just about anything can work!

Doesn't sound like we will get a Waffle House anytime soon...

Quote:

Restaurants such as Waffle House are planned and built by private businesses. We proactively recruit many companies, including restaurants, and we've pursued Waffle House for several years. Unfortunately, its management has repeatedly said it has no plans to expand to College Station anytime soon.

Looking at the site plans (size, parking layout) I'm going to go with Indian/Middle Eastern restaurant. Can't be 100% on that since the plans usually involve some sort of grease trap in the actual site plan, which I didn't see.

I'd rather see a Wings N' More Express in that location.

I don't think so. From what I last heard they do better than the CS location (haven't spoken with anyone there in a while). Think they're just upping the aesthetics with Hooters opening nearby. Plus, the building was prolly ready for a remodel anyway.
