Pappadeuax is on deck for Krispy Kreme location....
No worries, thanks for the confirmation!PS3D said:It was Forestwood. I glanced at Google Maps and misread it.quantumleap said:PS3D said:
Permits have been filed for the promised "gas station and deli" at Villa Maria and Frostwood.
I tried to map this intersection, and didn't have any luck...did you happen mean Forestwood instead (because it definitely looks like an empty lot is located at that intersection with Villa Maria)?
what is the Chickfila on Texas up to? Lots of fencing, etc. Did I miss something?
I think someone said on here they all get remodeled after a while. Maybe it's that store's turn.RNAggie said:

More renovations/remodeling I believe.RNAggie said:

Rebuild
Any chance they remodel without making a bigger disaster of the line for the drive thru? I swear I have not seen any Chick Fil A places that adequately plan for their long lines. Then they try to "fix" the problem which creates even more problems!

TDLR info for the gas station. Pretty large footprint for a convenience store.

West Bryan location seems to be pretty good with drive through and mobile through lanes routed around the outside of the parking lot to give good length before the line overflows. Plus two lanes at the pickup point. Probably the best I have seen.
Mobile thru is by far the best thing they've done. I never wait more than 3 minutes.
It is my understanding they bought the parking lot to the right as you face it from Texas ave-- kinda of in front of napa flats and will incorporate that in their remodel
Texas Avenue CFA is being completely torn down and rebuilt.
When will that be complete?

I heard end of August.
Yeah I don't know if that was the most ideal choice for a name because it definitely gives off the vibe of another sports bar restaurant - of which we now have a lot of in B/CS.Garhett_W said:tu ag said:
I can't find anything that says Varsity Grillhouse has marketed itself as a sports bar. Just a restaurant.
It's in the name… definition of varsity implies sports. (the principal team representing a high school or college in a sport or other competition)
That being said, I'm glad to hear they're actually more of a mid/upper scale place. I'm more motivated to try it after hearing that.

I had it last week for lunch and really enjoyed it. The stuffed mushroom appetizer and chicken fried steak were both really good. The service was excellent and the head chef who came by our table to check on us was very nice. We'll definitely go back.
Definitely more of a mid/upper tier dining experience, with the dinner menu having more diverse menu of pasta, steaks, seafood, etc. The only TVs are 3 (I think) in the smallish bar area.
There's a big screen in the dining area facing 6. Like 70-80 inch screen.BulldAg99 said:Gigem314 said:Yeah I don't know if that was the most ideal choice for a name because it definitely gives off the vibe of another sports bar restaurant - of which we now have a lot of in B/CS.Garhett_W said:tu ag said:

I've seen places start out like this and add more tvs and become a premium sports bar.
Is Chili's closing?
Saw that it was "closed temporarily". Assuming remodel.
Chili's needs to follow the Kyle Field model and add 3-4 stories and tower over everybody...even City Hall.
We'll then have to add a giant pepper on the tower point water tower. I'm here for it.TyHolden said:

Ah, I walked passed the smaller dining room when I went through the bar to use the restroom, but I didn't see the big TV.TyHolden said:There's a big screen in the dining area facing 6.

It's a cool place, hope they make it!
Per Facebook Chili's is having maintenance work done (maybe water heater?)
It's new! I meant to mention it a few weeks ago. The guy that does my nails told me about it. I haven't eaten there yet though. It's a chain but he says it's very very good.
It opened before the Roni Mac Bar, in the old Fajita Pete's place
Fitch Taco Bell? Trying to order, but phone # is busy and web site says they only have hours on Sundays and Mondays?
I remember when Chili's opened…. Basically one of the first chain sit down restaurants in town.
Home Depot and where the Old Olive Garden was, were pastures with barb wire.
Had a line out the door from open to close 7 days a week for 6 months.
That's been a minute, but I reckon it's paid for.

Looks like they are getting ready for a remodel or something.
Are all Taco Bells like that one is?

When did Chili's first open?Quote:

I'm guessing Bennigans was the first chain restaurant of that type (early-mid 1990's) in CS. When did Swensen's open? Both chains were next door to each other, but I don't know which one came first.

The first time I ate at Chili's was when I was in school. That was the fall of 1991. Yes I'm old
Bennigan's was here in the late 1980s.MiMi said:When did Chili's first open?Quote:
