That is what they start at. Probably closer to $100k for most of them! Crazy.
My kids get old used things and they have each worked to pay for at least half.

Ahhhhh, yes. Financed by the Bank of Momma and Daddy (tm). I wish Momma and Daddy would buy me a new brodozer to drive to class….

I saw a kid hopping into a brand new King Ranch F-250 at Target the other day. Kid had to have been a freshman, looked like he could have passed for 15. Even if I had the money, no way in hell putting a kid in an $80k truck


I drove a maroon 1976 GMC half ton. I started at A&M in 1990. That truck had seen better days, and required almost weekly work.

The Republic has three shrimp apps: $18, $22, and $24 respectively. I'd be shocked if you get more than 6 shrimp with each one but maybe I'm wrong.

Fish daddies shrimp meal is $13 and if it's more than 6 shrimp it's only in number and not in size. Shriveled up trash.

This board's penny pinchers comment as if it's still 2008

Nobody considers price when going to the Republic.

Happy hour is the only time we really get apps.

If this Coco place has the same bourbon selection as Republic, I retract my critique.

We went tonight and it was plenty of food and everything we tried was great. I got the sampler (ended up with 7 for 12.95) went coco, sweet and spicy, spicy. As far as the salad dressings, I preferred the Poppyseed to the Ginger, but both are really good. Add the grilled Pineapple for a pleasant treat.

Guys, guys, guys.

Not all shrimp are created equal and neither are all preparations. At the end of the day we all just want to be happy with our meal's taste and value.

But, what size are the shrimp?? 21/25? 16/20? 31/35, u12, u10?! Are they little crappy popcorn sized??

All of these things matter on a cost vs satisfaction scale. It's not black and white simple
