Well, Bahama Bucks in Tower Point has officially announced they are closing. I recall them putting their building up for lease/sell earlier this year. They are saying another restaurant will be coming to the location early 2025.


Well that sucks! But makes sense after I took almost 20 minutes to get 2 snocones last weekend when only 3 other people were in the dining area.


Sorry to see them close this location, but I quit going there sometime ago. Just seemed all the employees were high school kids goofing off with their friends

I wouldn't be mad if Fuego moved to Towers Point or even Jones Crossing.

I'm sure it's been posted somewhere but does anyone know what is being built next to Varsity Grillhouse?

Hit up Pluckers for lunch today and it did not disappoint! Very good service and food and the setup is pretty cool. Porch will be nice in cooler weather with tailgating games and the one pickleball court.

Side Porch Coffee is open next to Wellpoint Physical Therapy right at the Fitch exit off Hwy 6. The only "con" I can list is no drive-thru but everything else was fantastic! They make their syrups in-house and have great service. I got a hot lavender latte and it was really well-made and delicious!

Hit up Frida's this morning. Brunch is great. I bet that place looks really nice at night! Nice lighting and murals!

It is one of our favorites. We go once or twice a month normally and more when we have out of town guests.

From this KBTX article, the following are coming (or reopening) to Bryan:

  • Bo's Ramen & Sushi House (near the Bryan Target)
  • Teppy's Taphouse (rebranding of All the Kings Men)
  • West End Elixir Company
  • Bryan Texas Taco Trail; a group of eateries
  • The Board Room (Lake Walk charcuterie shop)
  • Honey's Favored Sweets & Eats (snow cones, funnel cakes, boudin balls, dessert nachos, downtown)
  • The Parker-Astin (art gallery and event space)
  • KinderHill Brew Lab (505 W 31st St in Bryan, end of the year)
  • The LaSalle Hotel (Marriott rebranding)
  • Shipwreck Grill (last day in current location will be August 26th)
  • Schulman's Movie Bowl Grille (opening in the Spring)
  • Northern Tool + Equipment

The Destination Bryan blog states that West End Elixer will be at "107 Main St" in Bryan and "also features a cigar lounge." 107 North Main is or was Bavarian Brauhaus. Does anyone have more info on this change?

Thanks, I was just looking that one up.
Edit to add, looks like a rebranding of "The Velvet Leaf" then.

Went yesterday. Crazy big outdoor seating planned out very well. Shade, fans, misters, etc No food outside yet. My guess is they will have food out there in about a month once all the staff are up to speed. Best sports bar set up now in CS. Wings were solid. Only area they need to fix is their blue cheese and ranch are too runny.

FYI, I also like wings and more. If I only want hot wings I would go there. But for other flavors and more consistent large wings, Pluckers is my place.

I went to Pluckers this week. Cost $18 plus $3 tip for $21 for the smallest chicken tender basket with fries and a drink. Good atmosphere, but won't be part of the regular lunch rotation for costing $20.

For those who have been to Pluckers, do they have more beers on tap than the 8 they show on their drink menu?
