If our area would ever get a Denny's or IHOP, it would be great.PS3D said:I know it's been a meme for years but this town desperately needs more 24/7 dining options. Drive-through McDonald's isn't cutting it.TiderAg said:

I went down the street to the 24-hour grocery. When I got there, the guy was locking the front door. I said, 'Hey, the sign says you're open 24 hours.' He said, 'Yes, but not in a row.'

I'd love a local yarn/craft shop but I'm not certain it's sustainable.
I wish I had been in a place to buy Lonestar quilt works before they closed.

This is the answer. Put that thing in South CS and you'll be shooing parents away with a stick.sirhc said:
A good brewery/outdoor bar space that is also kid friendly (or restaurants that are more kid friendly like a hat creek). We moved here from the Austin area and miss that most.
I miss the hobby store that used to get a lot of my money. I'll just have to buy more bourbon I guess.

So what? It's just a day. Seems smart business to me.
Open till 3:30am, might as well be 24
Nope
Prove.it. Not so sure
The Whataburger at the Tejas center is 24 hour. I just recently had a HBCB inside at like 3am

Need to convert the brookshire brothers to a Bucees.
I also wished they had a nice dance hall. One with a race track like dance floor. That my favorite layout.
Comparing Whataburger to a waitservice restaurant is like the "we have X at home" meme.australopithecus robustus said:PS3D said:Closed on Monday, no longer 24 hours, drive-through, drive-through.australopithecus robustus said:PS3D said:I know it's been a meme for years but this town desperately needs more 24/7 dining options.

Waitservice restaurant? Do you mean full service?
You didn't specify that originally. You just said 24 hour.
In the words one of my most eloquent teachers who taught me critical writing….. "say what you mean".

I meant full service restaurant and definitely not drive-through. (At least Whataburger has the dining room.)australopithecus robustus said:

I can't imagine why anyone would want a Buc-ee's locally if they thought about it for more than three seconds, the only reasons I can think of are:LB12Diamond said:Need to convert the brookshire brothers to a Bucees.TyHolden said:

- your house doesn't have a working toilet and you want a reliable one to mooch off of
Brookshire Brothers...take it or leave it. It's nice to have a store that has a real deli counter (plates, food by the pound) and a third option other than Kroger and H-E-B.

I hate that you can't custom order tacos and burritos anymore. Have they gotten rid of more than that?
Was at the Waller Buc-ee's last month. The ordering kiosks are all gone. There is 1 at the pick-up counter with only 1 or 2 options. I don't remember what they were. The made to order sandwiches are no longer available. You could only choose from the premade selections.Quote:

Trader Joe's
The signature club sandwich is gone, with its chipotle mayo, lettuce, and tomato (the "club melt" near the BBQ sandwiches is a sad imitation lacking vegetables), as is the BLT, the pastrami, and others (including the wraps).Counterpoint said:PS3D said:I meant full service restaurant and definitely not drive-through.

Before the pandemic they also had an excellent fish taco.

A La Madeline would kill in this town, albeit very mediocre food.
I miss their Ceasars salad!! And perfect spot at Corporate/Hwy 6 property!
I like the idea of this as a venue, but I hate the idea of bringing in yet another corporate chain type place.Bob Yancy said:TyHolden said:That is my dream right there...Bob Yancy said:
A Toby Keith's or Blake Shelton's Ole Red style eatertainment establishment. Listen to live music, enjoy good food and have a few drinks. Maybe even a dance floor, which I believe they have. Our market is ripe for something like that.
lol. It could happen
Think like Billy Bob's Fort Worth, Gilley's Dallas, Brewster Street in Corpus. Or smaller places like Main Street Crossing in Tomball, The Western Club, The Mucky Duck, etc.
Every venue has to deal with ticketmaster to some extent, but the big places like House of Blues or Ole Red are full ticketmaster prices. They price gouge on everything inside the venue as well as admission fees.
A nice clean place where you can get dinner and watch a great show would be awesome to have here. I just can't afford a place that is a full live nation/ticketmaster venue.

I'm really doubtful the "new" Chicken Oil Co. will be any good since all their cooks, etc. have left. I hope it doesn't become one of those places that's rather average at best but people will still be convinced its the best burger in town because that's what it was ten years ago.Brutal Puffin said:

I'll hold judgement until they reopen but I'm not holding my breath.

You think the cooks were the reason they were successful? They can train more cooks, it's just burgers and fries.

I did, just after COVID and for two years following. Like with call centers, it has left me more sympathetic to those in those in their positions. I'm sure emergency personnel (paramedics, fire, police, nurses) would appreciate a good late-night place.TXAG 05 said:PS3D said:Closed on Monday, no longer 24 hours, drive-through, drive-through.australopithecus robustus said:PS3D said:I know it's been a meme for years but this town desperately needs more 24/7 dining options.

Anyone can make burgers and fries, I agree. But Chicken Oil actually tasted good as opposed to some short-order cook throwing meat on the griddle.
