A restaurant called Marfa received a permit last week to build out space at 1551 Greens Prairie Road, Suite 100, which is at the Yard. Anyone know about this place?

I bet it has lights.
The Everett at 500 College Main registered with the state with an August start date. 8 floors (3 garage + 5 residential).

Marfa is a new venture in South College Station near Tower Point around Casa do Brazil from the folks at Fish Daddy's. It will feature a big bar and food with a Southwest flavor. They hope to be ready by late July, early August depending on the vagaries of the supply chain.

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but here is a link to request a Trader Joe's in your area. If enough of it fill it out….

Sign up where Master Yakiniku used to be : Chubby's Public House.
I guess the owners aren't gifted toward marketing!! Terrible name, in my opinion.
That's an interesting name for restaurant…FlyRod said:

From the reviews and comments, it appears Chubby's used to be a food truck in Oregon, and the owners have now relocated here. From their old Facebook page, they have 120 reviews with 4.9 stars, and the burgers certainly look good, with a delightfully obscene amount of cheese.
Hopefully, they will have success here, sounds like had to do a lot to renovate - Master Yakinuki's owners left everything behind.
Why yes, yes I really do run the best (and only) BCS ICEE Guide!
I hope they left to escape the insanity that is Portland, instead of wanting to import it here.Collectonian said:EBrazosAg said:

The Zoe's in Century Square is going to become a CAVA. Zoe's has transitioned many (most?) of their locations to the CAVA concept.
CAVA is pretty great! its a healthier and more Mediterranean chipotle.
I now remember a coffee commercial on the radio when I was young where a bird called out "CAVA CAVA!!"
Probably not the same company.

I prefer CAVA to Zoe's and figured it was just a matter of time until the College Station location transitioned as well.TommyBrady said:

We were actually debating Saturday either going to Fritella or give Carinos a shot since it's been years since we ate there. Carinos was good but knowing this I wish we had swung by Fritella once last time.
We went to Fritella Friday night. The (new) owner said they really tried to make a go of it but they just can't get people to come to work. The building will be up for sale. I sure would like to have some of those recipes!
I love Cava and have been hoping to have one here for awhile.Captn_Ag05 said:

BUT, I'm sad to be losing Zoe's. I love going there for lunch and we use them for catering quite often.

Wonder what they did differently versus the previous owners... I'd presume everyone didn't quit with the change, but maybe.

That's just a problem in general right now. My husband's company has been trying to hire for almost a year now, and they can't find people who will actually show up (or can pass a drug test). O&G company that pays well and is looking for entry/no experience, to CDL drivers, to licensed crane operators.
Fritella had the only decent eggplant parm in town. A shame.
Just looked at Cava menu, and that will be a welcome addition. Good luck to them!

Yes, not nearly as big as the one pictured there. I'm sure they are just moving across the road.MsDoubleD81 said:
