That strip center is jinxed. I hope not for Frieda's. It's really good.

They've been open for like a decade. I don't think the location jinxed them.

My now wife worked at La Riv in college. She would bring me and my roommates home tasty deserts. Good times

Crappy chain Italian that boasts quantity over quality.


Next thing you know, Fazoli's will be declaring bankruptcy.
I haven't been to a Fazoli's in years, but I recall they were cheap which is perfect for a college town. Cheap crappy food that you don't have to cook yourself was/is their model.

Don't know if it has been mentioned, but the Hilton College Station has a new restaurant opening soon. The Dean (going in where the old Bell Ranch/Ignite used to be).

No jinx, but just a bad location.

Sundance closed in '92 or so. I think I still have a 'Piledriver' cup somewhere....

Hard to understand how a location central on the town's main arterial is a bad location, yet it's perceived as such by many. It's a pocket of "no man's land" somehow. I wonder if it more comes down to types of tenants versus surrounding demographics. Geographically it certainly isn't a bad location.

Guess the remodel your home during COVID wave is over. Little surprised the high interest mortgage hasn't carried over into "well we are kinda stuck here so let's do some updates". Although without free money, the scale that isn't going to be in the same level as COVID.

Me neither. But I rarely go down Harvey unless absolutely necessary. Have never seen or heard an ad for them.

We went to Outback for lunch a few months ago and it was really good and very affordable. Cost was really not much different than fast food these days.

I didn't see that one coming. Although I guess the few times I've been in the last 6 months there have only been a handful of tables there. Last time was about 2 weeks ago and at 5:30, only one other table was there.

Actually quite surprised. Seemed busy when I drove by and I live nearby. Restaurants are just a tough business.

Looks like Waco location closed too.

Plus a bunch in Houston.

They probably over expanded.

I always thought Fuzzy's had good food. Their atmosphere was a little run down but the food was consistently good. Sad to see them go.

IMO, that was a bad location for that type of concept. Fuzzy's in a better location would still be open.

I know sone may disagree, but for me, Mad Taco fits that description.

Right there with you - we frequented Mad Taco and were so bummed to see it leave.

A place called Bunny Bites Arcade and Boba is going in at 2510 Texas Avenue S. in CS.

Yep

It was in our weekly rotation. And we usually saw our neighbors and their kids there.

Not really. I'd say Amico Nave came pretty close...perhaps stopping just short of OMG AMAZING, but it was solid through and through.

Yeah, OTB is better than people give it credit for. Have been a few times in recent months.
