So we went to Rudy's for lunch today, and i normally get a chopped beef sando. I went with something different today, deciding to finally try their green chili stew. It was awesome. If you never tried it, please do. It has their brisket in it. I will be having this many times over the cold winter that is coming. Really warms you up.
It answers who where what and when - so i think it stands up. Did you want a flowing essay about the merits of sandwiches?
I went there yesterday and talked to their staff; they confirmed that a 2nd BCS location is coming "sometime next year".Chris98 said:

Don't know why you feel the need to be a smartass. It is Monday, but you need to relax.
If I'm the eagle, who is a media outlet that, in theory, wants to drive traffic to its various outlets, I do just a tad bit more on content. Maybe an interview with the franchisee? Maybe some stats on other stores in the region, or lack there of? It's not really my industry so idk exactly, but that "article" had few enough characters to be a tweet.
I don't think it was meant to be an article, just a business blurb. The Eagle does a good job of printing pictures of all the ribbon cuttings and grand openings, so they may do something more substantial when the business actually opens its doors.
Yeah, you've never been to Coopers. It's not the same.Cstrickland05 said:viejo said:Have you been to a Cooper's, particularly the one in Llano?Cstrickland05 said:EBrazosAg said:Cstrickland05 said:viejo said:Cooper's is awesome, particularly the one in Llano.

Was driving on the northbound feeder road near where the new BMW and Mercedes places are going in and noticed a sign for Coopers pit bbq opening in summer 2019. I have heard of them. I think they started in Llano. A friend told me it was supposed to be a 15,000 sq. foot place. Is that right? If so, that seems like a mighty big bbq place for a city this size to support day in and day out year round.
I wonder if they are sweating it a little with Kruez closing down. It's the same kind of operation.
I doubt it. Unless they can't recreate their other Coopers - and from the comments about their other non-Llano ops it seems they have mastered the reproduction. Kruez was not that good in Lockhart, and their Bryan version wasn't either. Coopers is a whole different story....
My point was that it's the same serving style and prices which were big complaints about Kruez.
I meant it's the same as in ordering by the pound instead of getting a chopped beef sandwich covered in sauce, side and a drink, for $5 or less,which is the style of bbq place BCS townies want. I hope Coopers does well, but based on this forum over the years, it doesn't bode well for them. BCS people aren't going to spend $15-20 on lunch
Have to agree with you there.Cstrickland05 said:
No. Just based it off of 10+ years of reading threads on this board. People scream bloody murder over paying a couple bucks for parking or 15 cents for a cup of ice.
Lululemon opens this weekend at Century Square.
Their FB page was updated yesterday...Howdy's Texas Grill'd Pizza. Hoping to open by the end of November / first week of December.
Cooper's originated in Mason.
I was just responding to elo62 about origin of a particular BBQ joint. Was not commenting on other places. Relax.
I saw on FB that we're getting a Pie In The Sky?! Anyone know for sure?
On their FB Pie in the Sky is going in at the old Bushes on Hwy 6!
The American Freight located next to the Blinn administrative offices in the Tejas Center has been open for months; unless another one is coming to town....

I've been to the one in NB many times. But tell me how two BBQ places that each sell meat by the lb served on butcher paper aren't the same serving style.
Wow, okay. Go ahead and move the goal posts. You said, "It's the same kind of operation." It's not. Go argue with yourself, you're just a waste of time.Cstrickland05 said:viejo said:Yeah, you've never been to Coopers.

You are getting way too worked up about this, just trying to make conversation. Not really moving goal posts either. Serving style=operation as far as bbq joints are concerned.
I hope Coopers makes it, but based on this board, I will bet that once it opens and people start reviewing it on here, you will see a lot of "too expensive" "no plates" "no chop beef sandwiches" etc just like what plagued Kruez.

Trump will fix it.

That's a good one too.
Well, that does hold true for the B/CS Applebee's.techno-ag said:Don't forget the classic "It's great in other cities but the one here sucks."Cstrickland05 said:

No, 100% of Applebee's suck. It happened when IHOP bought them.
The one in bcs service was horrible long before I hope acquired Applebee's.
And of course the ever popular "tastes like hot garbage". I always wonder what made those folks eat hot garbage to begin with to get the comparison point.
At Home is open!!
I'm just going on what I hear. The Applebee's here is so bad I won't set foot in any one of them, anywhere.AgFan1999 said:

Work has begun on the first phase of the Trafalgar mixed-use development on Boonville Road. Also, it appears that some of the apartments at the Residences at Oakmont are now open.
Bush's on 21 sign say now hiring

My son is working there. It's an amazing place!
Went by at home. Quite a bit of selections. Ton of Christmas stuff
Reminds me a bit of the Gap in the 80-90s. A few items in various colors. But this one is on steroids

Jersey Mike's: A banner is up at the storefront by the Rock Prairie Baylor, Scott & White, so it appears maybe they have worked out their lease agreement and work may be commencing. The Jersey Mike's website still says "Coming Soon" instead of giving a target date, so I would still say it's probably going to be the New Year before we see it opened.
Stopped in a JM's in another city here recently, first time I had tried them out. The bread is freshly baked, and my Italian sub wasn't bad at all. Not the best I've ever had (that was in Boston), but good enough to eat and certainly better than Subway or Jimmy John's or Firehouse, JMHO.
