I take it none of you guys have ever paid $6 for a bottled water at Kyle Field.

I think that, to be very honest with you, I do believe that we should have rightly believed, but we certainly believe that certain issues are just settled.

Anyone know when MESS Waffles will open? Nothing has been updated on their FB. I've seen people working in it this past week.

Anybody eaten at Mo's Irish Pub since it opened? Is it good? I love a good fish n chip place. Been wanting to check it out. What else on the menu is good?

I had a big ole burger and some friends had chicken strips a few weeks after they opened. All excellent and the serving sizes were way large everyone took home left-overs.

I need to try the fish & chips soon thanks for the reminder. It is pretty typical upscale bar food like BJ's and WOB in my opinion.

Ive been a few times already and everything I've tried has been pretty good but i'd say my favorite is a toss up between the meatloaf and the shepherds pie.

I would also mention they have a pretty good beer menu.

Hope this help.

Have been once and had the Reuben Boxty (a reuben wrapped in a potato pancake). It was very good.

We've enjoyed everything we've tried thus far. Some of the faves have been the fried cheese curds, the appetizer wings, the boxty that Giveemhellbill mentioned and my youngest likes the burgers.

One interesting note.

Some new restaurants have a Facebook page, but focus 100% on the build out. Sheetrock, electrical , etc. No information on the food or the opening.

Future customers want to see recipes, ingredients, pictures, etc.. Take advantage of the down time making folks want to visit versus how a wall will look.

Sometimes, that tells you all you need to know about the food they're going to be serving (as in overpriced and not all that good) but I get your point and don't disagree. For some places that I've visited, enjoy that shiny new interior because that's the last time it will probably be clean. There are places in town where we won't return because there is nothing like having the fixtures that hang over the table look like they haven't been cleaned/dusted since the install.

I wasn't a fan of the queso and sauerkraut mixed together in the boxty. Next time I'd get it either without the queso or without the sauerkraut.

The cheeseburger egg roll things are really good. Not sure what they're actually called though.

T&P for Dat Dog. BCS isn't a hot dog town, sadly.

I'll probably give it enough business to stay open. I miss Harolds.

Thanks for the comments on Mo's. After we ship our youngest son off to Sam Houston State University next week for his freshman year, me and the wife are going there. No doubt I am going for the fish and chips the first time, but i love a good meat loaf, and my wife likes shepherds pie. Love cheese curds.

Fish and chips are legit. Gotta ask for the Malt Vinegar to go with it though.

You gotta have malt vinegar with fish and chips! If you don't, it's not really fish n chips.

Is he going to play ball at SHSU, or did he hang up the cleats after the state championship?

And for the coming/going related, what is being cleared over on the north side of Leonard Road east of 2818? Homes?

OK

What will they do? I wouldn't think towing would be good for return business.

Seriously 10 minutes ago I was sitting at Mad Taco trying to figure out what that sign said. I could only make out the "Co".

Hanging up the cleats, but what great year he had to end his high school football years at CSHS!

Yeah those Margaritas are pretty legit.

It was quite an accomplishment, for sure.


I was expecting more to be announced regarding Jones Crossing by this date, especially with the HEB opening soon. Do you suppose they are waiting so that the vehicle traffic will be there? Having trouble lining up tenants?

Also, is Southern Pointe (I think that's what it was called?) out at the speedway a nonstarter now? I thought they had submitted a site plan, but then the Harvey auto storage thing happened and I haven't heard anything more.

Phase I of Southern Pointe just began construction.

There was some coverage of the development recently on local news: http://www.kbtx.com/content/news/New-Southern-Pointe-Community-taking-shape-near-College-Station-488662631.html

Regarding Jones Crossing- I was looking at a realtor brochure for the development recently and it showed 5 or 6 spots as unavailable. No indication of what businesses, but apparently leases have been signed. So far, we just know about Sportsclips and Twin Liquors.

With the golf entertainment center coming to that area, Jones Crossing May see an increase in demand as more people will (hopefully) be in that area.

This is good news. Downtown Bryan could use a breakfast place.

How has Southern Pointe already started and Oakmont is still working on just the street (University Dr extension) almost 3 years after their announcement?


Also, the frame of the development at Holleman and 2818 looks like a Walgreen's, CVS or Aldi. I beat its an Aldi, but wouldn't we have heard about that? I remember awhile back talk of a small grocery store there and that seems to be what it is.

The Village, Casa Rods, Harvest Coffee, Kolache place...I think there are a few more breakfast places in DTB. So yup, definitely lacking breakfast.
