I always wanted to try Dat Dog. Like others have said, there was basically no parking. I wasn't going to park in the lot behind the Chicken at lunch and walk over there in the middle of summer


I wanted to try it too, but there was no place to park. This place wants to urbanize, but doesn't embrace urban transportation needed for locations like this to work.
KBTX reports aggressive towing is partly to blame.

You're probably talking about the Rolled Dough Company (where Murphy's used to be). They only do pizza rolls and sweet rolls, but they are really good. I really hope they make it.

If you want to park somewhere, then make sure you follow the rules and you won't get towed - it's as simple as that. "Being cool" about it only invites people to abuse the lot-owners good nature.

We tried Zoners last night and the stromboli was excellent but the wings did seem soggy. I had a few left over so today I put them in the oven for 5 minutes to crisp up the skin and they were excellent. I feel like if they stuck them in a broiler for a few minutes before shaking in the sauce they would be great. The skin just isn't crisp at all.

Tried it yesterday. Asked for wings "extra crispy" and they came out perfect. Calzone was good too. Could have been cooked a tad longer as mozzarella wasn't thoroughly melted. All in all, good experience.

Good tip will try that!

Tried Dat Dog once. I was underwhelmed. We were one of two tables and it took a long time. Super friendly staff, though.

Plus, I think an old fashioned NY-style hot dog cart operating Thurs-Sat from 9pm-3am would be more profitable. You could even be exotic and sell Khlau Kalash and Crab Juice while your patrons had their car booted.

Cooper's BBQ is open. I'd forgotten how much I don't miss Dickie's, but Cooper's has reminded me.

"aggressive towing" that is the understatement of the year.

Does anyone know when the new Drew's car wash will open in Bryan by Villa Maria? We need a great car wash in that area. Also, will it be full service?

I'm not sure how long zoners will last. Their wings were soggy and gristly when I went a few weeks ago. Their parking lot was near empty tonight around 6 pm.
That's unfortunate. When I went during their grand opening, the wings were hands-down the best I ever had. Large, perfectly fried & crispy, good on the sauce (good flavors, too) and came with plenty of ranch/bleu cheese if that's your thing.

I hope they're not already cutting corners to save costs.

Has anyone been to Rolled Dough Co in Tejas Center yet? It says "now open" but I've been twice now during their posted hours and they haven't been open either time. (Like right now, for instance)

Saw Burger Mojo on University hiring on their sign with lights on inside and people working. Looks like they are close.

My partner went back when they first opened...he said the rolls were pretty mediocre and a little overpriced and the place felt almost sketchy as it seemed like they opened before they really had it ready. He wasn't inclined to go back.

I tried going an hour before they closed. They were mopping the floor and told me they were closed due to running out of ingredients. Very odd lobby. I've seen food trucks that were better setup. They just have a register sitting on a table and a couple of boards hung with their menu. Looking at the place from the inside, I won't be back.

I have cleaned up the front page a bit, let me know if I missed anything. I have noticed that new announcements have slowed down a lot.

My neighbors went to Cooper's for lunch today. He is someone who adds extra salt to most things. But he said the Cooper's rub was so aggressively salty that he could eat the meat, which he said was of obviously good quality. His wife had ribs, tried to get through one and couldn't because of the salt. Her husband said her ribs were even saltier than his beef.

He talked to the manager who tried only the beef and said it might be a bit saltier than normal.

My neighbors said they will not go back.

In my house we use less than half the salt than these two neighbor do. . So, now I intend to stay away until a few other friends put ou a rave review. I also think the on-line photos make it seem uninviting. But then, i am not a native. I've only lived in B/CS for 40 years.

So you are posting a second hand review. You should at least give the owners the courtesy of waiting until you've tried the place yourself.

A second hand account is just is valuable as a first hand account as long as they define themselves as a whistleblower per the media.

I agree with this, and I will be back as well. But I do hope they reduce the salt a bit.

You must not be familiar with REAL BBQ then because BBQ joints are not suppose to be "inviting". That's the the point....
Best joints in Texas are hole in the walls. Snows, original Coopers, etc.
