Agreed, I would like some others as well, but there is nothing wrong with potentially great food that is served in a bar, either. We have run into some all time favorites just by trying out new places/dishes, regardless of location/cost. Holleman Tavern has some really good food for example, that is also served in a bar.

More descriptive, gourmet inspired bar food off the Sysco truck is still bar food.
I have no issue with bar food. The best patty melt I've ever eaten was in an absolute dive in Paige. But I'm not paying higher end prices for it either.

Roadhouse is a pretty famous and outstanding dive!trouble said:

I'm pretty sure I had more teeth than anyone else in there, combined.
This was like 2009ish.

Is this the same Reds Icehouse that's in Beaumont also?

How long do you want to ignore this user?
This town doesn't have enough of the demographic for elevated bar food, nor the sales per capita. Everyone here is either too old, too young or too married. No 25-40 yrs singles with six figure incomes.
Uh. no. Most of my friends are 25-40 year olds with 6 figure incomes. They also like to cook a lot and have get togethers rather then eat/drink out every day.
THAT said, this demographic is in fact dwarfed by the college kids with less money, and the retirees with less...taste I guess.

Well, it's a small percentage. 12% of the population is 25-40 here and of that who knows how many are married?? By the looks of the neighborhoods etc I would say a great majority are.
So, not many yuppies. Austin and Houston style concepts be damned

So, Primrose Path was a mistake, eh? Seems to be doing pretty darn well with their "elevated bar food."
A much better concept than $18 biscuits and gravy and $26 burgers.
Actually elevated finer dining is great. Expensive burgers is meh.

Fair. We had different definitions of "elevated" bar food.
It is cheaper than Red's. I mean $24 for a truffle butter steak is pretty reasonable.FlyRod said:

I like the way Red's looks from the street, at least. The views are free.

And I'd pay double the price for those dang dates. They are my absolute favorite.
Sure, tapas are supposed to be smaller portions.KidDoc said:It is cheaper than Red's. I mean $24 for a truffle butter steak is pretty reasonable.FlyRod said:

I thought one of Red's selling points was ginormous sized offerings?
IDK. There are no sizes or weights listed on the website.
Yeah, they don't have truffle butter steaks at the bars I go to, hot dogs, yes. Truffle butter steak, not so much.
Why is anyone comparing Primrose to Red's Ice House? Apples and oranges
There are bars that serve more than peanuts?Hornbeck said:

Trump will fix it.
How long has Red's been in Beaumont?
Is Beaumont our measuring stick?
It's metro area is about 100k bigger than BCS and they don't have a university with 80k students.
Maybe our expectations are a bit too high for this area.

They are not related at all. Red's in Beaumont is/was a hole in the wall type place with crawfish and seafood. Same name, totally different concepts, price points, and owners.
Forget it - it's not he same menu. My bad. I gotta pick a better time to stop sniffing glue.Captn_Ag05 said:

Good grief, I thought we were getting something new with all the new posts.
Only thing new on the New Development list with College Station this month other than the fire station and shared housing is Brazos Valley Endodontic at 3109 Corsair Drive (sort of behind Cooper's BBQ).MsDoubleD81 said:

Maybe I should start "Criticism and Praise for local businesses thread"
I passed by the future site of "Aggieland High School" today on Longmire. It might have been mentioned here already but if so, I missed it.
The name is not creative.

I got one for you. Sometime over the last few days (it wasn't there on Saturday at noon) that old convenience store at La Brisa and 2818 added a Mobil gas station component. The old Exxon one was ripped out about 4-5 years ago.MsDoubleD81 said:
