Appreciate the thoughtful follow-up and the challenges of getting a restaurant launched. Will definitely try again!

I'm very glad to hear that. It's important to me and I'm thankful for the patrons out there that are forgiving and reasonable like yourself.

Don't forget SoFly Chicken Sandwiches on that list!


I'm 0 for 3 with my Sofly experience. Thought I'd let you know privately, but you don't have the ability to PM (may be worth the small investment)

First attempt: directions on Google led me to Bryan. I had called before driving to place an order since online ordering wasn't working. I was told no phone or online orders, but to come on over. Person on phone didn't indicate that directions on Google would take me far away from the actual restaurant, even though I discovered later folks knew the Google maps directions don't work for Sofly. Eventually made it there. Believe I got someone else's order. Luckily it was enough food for our family, but wrong order altogether.

Second attempt:
Forgot French fries and sauce lids came undone so there was sauce everywhere.

Third attempt:
Just now. "Equipment issues". Restaurant closed.

I'm sure it's hard being a restaurant owner, but man. It seems like it shouldn't be this hard to be a customer. I'll likely try again, but with so many options in town, it's just hard to go back with such low reliability.



Google not knowing the directions and you being too ignorant to remember that it's where Boomtown BBQ was isn't a strike against the restaurant.

I couldn't have told you where boomtown was

It got discussed here a lot for a while. Pros and cons of the locations. Pros and cons of the food. I think KBTX did a piece on them.

I honestly thought SoFly was connected to Cafe Eccel because there is a sign that says SoFly on the building. So, when I put in for directions and it had me headed towards Bryan, I didn't question them.

We don't all pay attention to restaurants we don't plan to try.

That's where they used to be so you weren't wrong.

Sadly, my favorite Eccell Group concepts are all gone. Cafe Eccell, La Bodega, and Eccell Steakhouse.

I miss La Bodega. Perfect spot to grab some food before a night out on Northgate

My husband and I were just talking about how we missed La Bodega. That weird Backyard thing is not an acceptable Northgate replacement.

I even miss Bodega Express, because I could at least get my favorites to go.

I miss the original Cafe Eccell in Northgate (was never the same after the move) , LaTaqueria and the Flying Tomato.

I miss Fitzwillys (which was where the Backyard is now, right?)

It is and I miss it too. Their fries were fantastic!

Yes. I've never gone to the backyard out of principle. Fitzwilly's was the best
