There was a recent poster on Nextdoor who says they're in negotiations to lease the former Urban Table location and open a cafeteria-style restaurant with a bakery, and use the upstairs for catering events and weekend brunch. They hope to open before Thanksgiving.

Looks full.
No where to park other than Macy's parking lot.

I like this concept.

It's all about location in BCS. That was a wonderful restaurant, but I always forgot about it because of its horrible location. Unless Pappadeaux goes in there or something huge it's not gonna do well.

I've lived here 40 years and I have seen restaurant after restaurant fail because of location, not because of the restaurant itself.

You're just not gonna get enough traffic to make it there. It would be better off as an office building or something epic that really is wanted here because nobody's gonna drive that far out just to go eat.

I remember when Saltgrass was opening and people were posting on MyBCS saying there's not enough people in South College Station to support a nice restaurant.

I remember when Casa di Brasil was opening and people were posting on MyBCS saying there is no way that people are gonna pay that much money to go to eat at a restaurant down here in South College Station.

Zaxbys = bad location. Zaxbys all over the south do well.

Anchor Bar = bad location. The one in Round Rock is booming.

Coopers = bad location. the reason the other restaurant that used to be there closed. i dont know how coopers stays open.

(yes I think Coopers was new. still no one goes there - I think the Big 6 project moving north is going to get them. that and beef prices)

maybe thinking of ninfas/maria mias - that's a bad location also. i don't know how MM stays open either.
