That's what happens when you get bought by private equity. They crash the business and line their pockets while doing so.

Personally, I'd like to see the space be revived as something with mall access and can actually share some consistent hours with the mall, like a full-service sit-down restaurant, maybe something the community actually wants to see.
Agreed. Chelsea Street Pub lasted quite a while at the mall (where Chuck E Cheese is now).


Bring back Casa Ole!
There are still two Casa Ole locations in town: one in the mall and one on Freedom Blvd.

Yup. Private Equity firms are terrible for the long-term good of our country.

Do the Casa Ole and Taco Cabana guys trade secrets? They are just too close to each other not to. If they both served alcohol, you could do a pub crawl.

Except there is no Taco Cabana.

in Bryan? Is it closed down? I drive by them every day but I've never been to either in 20+ years.

Oh. No idea. I never drive by that location. I was thinking about the CS location that closed.

Rusty Surrette posted the menu for a new food truck, JB's Hibachi and Seafood, and it looks great. Unfortunately I could find no info re where to locate it.

Armalite HQ finalized. We talked about this in the 2023 thread.

That's awesome. It sounds like it may even have a range and a restaurant attached.

Funny how Red Lobster executives put a spin on the closures. "Endless shrimp did us in."

If so, you would end that promotion asap. Show the exit bonuses!!

Hadn't seen it listed yet but Imperial Chinese in Bryan had sign saying they were closing June 20th.
We'll win this war, but we'll win it only by fighting and by showing the Germans that we've got more guts than they have, or ever will have. We're not going to just shoot the sons-of-b******, were going to rip out their living G*******d guts and use them to grease the treads of our tanks. We're going to murder those lousy Hun c********** by the bushel-f****** basket. War is a bloody killing business. You've got to spill their blood or they will spill yours. Rip them up the belly. Shot them in the guts.

Since Shun De Mom near Wal-Mart closed, Imperial was my go to for Chinese. We sure need a quality Chinese restaurant.

Hometown Chinese by the Carter's Burger is really good. We like C&C or Chef Cao's down south.

Wokamole is the absolute best. Tastes like the authentic Chinese places in NW Austin where their entire menu is in Mandarin

Shun De Mom on Northgate is not anything like the other one. It's average food at best and nothing spicy or hot. I went a couple of times a year or so ago and won't be back.

My son and his classmates and some of my employees go regularly and love it and talk about the spicy options they have.
