Good to know
Andy's will open on September 14.
555 Grill next to Kumon in CS had an Open sign blinking yesterday. Also, there was broken glass all over that parking lot. Not saying the two are related.
Anyone tried the Smokin Sims 45 food truck (bbq I'm guessing?)
Also wondering if this is a member of the family that owned Randy Sims BBQ back in the Pleistocene Era.

Nick the Greek has submitted plans for a location on University in the same center as the new Capriotti's. I do not know if this is in place of the location on Wellborn or if they are planning to open two locations at around the same time.Captn_Ag05 said:

TXB has submitted site plans for a convenience store and gas across William J Bryan from the post office. This is the third site plan that they have submitted for a BCS location in the past couple of months.

Where are the other locations?
Near the intersection of Texas and Mile Drive and on University across from Veterans park entrance.
A Colombian food truck, Macondo Grill, is coming soon. Hope to get more details soon.
The LaSalle hotel in downtown Bryan is set to become a Marriot property after the city of Bryan provides $1.1 million in incentives.

A multimillion dollar renovation of downtown Bryan's LaSalle Hotel to a Marriott property is expected to be completed in time for the start of next year's Texas A&M football season.
That is after the Bryan city council Tuesday night unanimously voted to give the LaSalle's new owner $1.1 million dollars in incentives.
This is in addition to at least $6 million to be spent by the new owner.
A very basic-looking (read ugly) 20,000+ square foot shopping center is being planned for 1726 Harvey Mitchell Parkway (near Waxwing Lane). The center is being marketed as Harvey Mitchell Square.

I don't know... I love the vintage retro look and feel of the LaSalle. I hope they don't turn in in to just another Marriott and keep the character of the hotel intact including keeping the speak easy in the basement around, though I do support updating the facilities, plumbing, wiring, etc. I know the article says the guy in charge of the renovation fell in love with the hotel and it will be a Tribute boutique hotel, but I'm still nervous.Captn_Ag05 said:

The Stella is already part of Marriott. There will not be huge changes to The LaSalle assuming it goes into a similar category as The Stella.
Marriott also has The Driskill in Austin. The look and feel of that historic hotel hasn't changed.
Agreed. No worries about the La Salle. Maybe a brand name will bring in more guests.
Good to know. Thanks, y'all!
To expand on what others said, the major hotel chains have really bought into the idea of getting unique properties over the past decade or so. I am more familiar with Hilton who operates them under the Curio brand but I believe that Marriott (and Marriott folks can certainly chime in) puts them under the label of the "Autograph Collection". So their goal is to provide a Marriott level of service but keep the feel and style of whatever made that hotel special to begin with. This is definitely a win for everyone, imo.

I wonder what (if anything) this means for Downtown Elixir?

They just sold it in May to Woodbine.

ETA looks like Hyatt will continue managing it for a while, though.
Apologies, I was confusing my hotel memberships.
Not sure if it's been mentioned but the owner(s) of Harvey Washbangers/Stella are opening Clementine's Kitchen in downtown Bryan sometime this winter.

Edit - Forgot to mention that it's going into the old Madden's location.

Great news. Glad something can fill the void left by Madden's and Square One.

Hate to see Mr. Hamburger close but every time I've been recently, it's been mostly empty and very hot inside like they're having trouble paying the utility bill.
I don't think Mr. Hamburger closed. They're still posting in their fb page
Bourbon Brothers BBQ food truck coming, or possible just opened.
