The new Double Dave's opened on Monday in McAllen, if you are interested. It is located just south of the Olive Garden on North 10th street.

We didn't have Double Dave's in College Station when I was there and I had never heard of it till it started showing up on my son's credit card bill.

What is Double Dave's?

its a pizza buffet, way better than cicis and gattis, a little bit more expensive but its worth it...everything from salad,pizza rolls,cheese steaks,y todo el pedo...i know here in CS they have 50cent drafts on Mon & Wed. I dunno bout over there...try it its good

Now we need someone to put in a Freebirds!

So did they shut down all of the Double Daves in College Station except for the one on George Bush and Texas?

There is a new one off of HWY 6 in Byran. Near the new Premier Movie theater.

I went. It was good except all of the friggin' kids running around the place.

Hey Big...

What time were you there? I took my grandkids over there for lunch after church, about 12:30. I thought they were fairly well behaved but it might have been us!

Sorry if true :-)

Their oven broke down right after we placed a phone order Sunday. We called back Sunday night for lunch and they gave it to us free.

Nice.

oldvalleyrat, don't worry about Big Sui. He just hates when he actually can look people in the eye rather than the waist or knee.

Actually Gurm, as I was trying to consume my 8th pizza roll, those little turd kids kept running into my elbow. I was seated, so I could look into their crummy eyes.

Well then, rest assured that those were not related to OVR because no respectable person would allow their kids to behave that way...unless they think the kids are just playing with another kid.

kids

I guess I am off the hook, our bunch of kids didn't do any of that kind of stuff. Incidentally, I have been back and talked to the owner. Apparently they only have the buffet on Sundays, Mondays and Wednesdays.

One of the reasons there are kids there is that the kids under five eat free, and the older kids eat for $3.99.

SUI, you're in like flynn, loco. just show them the pecker, guey...that'll prove you're all of 3. maybe 3 1/2.

went for the wild and wooley wednesday's....good stuff...$1.50 pint refills

YUM!

wow...Big Sui...you are golden at Double Daves...kids under 3 eat free. Wait is that under 3 feet?

WOW! Three B is making short jokes.
Why don't you both go together and then later, you can talk about what a cheap date the other is.

We went to Double Daves and Free Birds this weekend in College station. This was my annual recruiting trip with my grandkids. The food was good but I think the Double Daves here in McAllen may be a little better.

The university sure has changed over the last 40+ years. I sure hope that the University doesn't price the regular kids out being able to attend.

Went again on Tuesday. Good stuff.

A&M might be more expensive these days, but I can definitely say I got my money's worth with my degree. The department I was in improved by leaps and bounds just in the few years I was here.

Sui = 3B
Pot = Kettle

I completely agree that the quality of the education at A&M is worth added expense. I sent two kids through A&M in the 90s and it cost me about $1k to $1.2K per month. I was fortunate to have had the finances to be able to pay this. Many low income families get scholarship help, but many kids don't qualify for scholarships. Most of the time these kids end up borrowing money to go to school, stay here and going to Pan Americanm or both. This may have been the way that you or some of the other folks on this site got their degree.

It is hard for me to imagine a young person starting off their professional life with a $50K or more loan hanging over their head.

?

is no more.

I have been out of the Valley for a while, did the second incarnation close also? Too bad. I always figured that this type of a deal would not last in the Valley.

Their sign said they lost their lease June 19th.

I was told that the owner forgot to pay rent and pay employees.

Their bad luck to open up right before the recession started.

Timing is everything friends.

When resturants lose their leases it usually means that they are out of the honeymoon part of the lease and can't comply with the true lease.

Sad to see Dave's leave the valley yet again.

Last week my wife and I decided to go to Double Dave's (for the first time in a while.) The lights were out, and a sign was on the door saying that the locks were changed and the owners had not paid the rent.

I really like the place but they unfortunately decided to make up for the lack of patrons by continually raising their prices. Finally the prices were so out of hand that we quit going.

We drove by last night and the situation had not changed. Shame...
