Nice little place to hit up the lunch buffet every once in a while. Hate that it closed. It's some off brand sushi place now.

Man I guess I just noticed yesterday. I used to go get my hair cut at that SportsClips. Now I go somewhere else. I guess the sushi place is next door. Both Waco locations of Fuzzy's Tacos closed recently too. I think we are seeing the effects of COVID on a lot of these restaurants that are closing.

Covid didn't help Double Dave's, but it was only a contributing factor. They usually only had one employee working at a time, and the worker was driving in from Austin to work in Waco. It was not popular.

The Austin franchisee prefers to run his locations like a Dominos with no dine in. For the Waco location, a vast majority of the business came from the buffet. They could have re-opened the buffet 6 months before they did, it was the choice of the owner not to.

Yeah, the only reason I went in there was for the buffet. I thought that's the only reason anyone went to Double Dave's

We actually went twice in the year before they closed, and the second time I decided I wouldn't go back. Then they closed a few days later.

I'd go way too often if there were one in Temple. We had Boss' and it was pretty good.

We have to go to Taylor a few times a year for sports and they have one with no buffet and I have no idea how it's in business.

Have you tried the pizza rolls at Wings Pizza 'n Things? They are really good in my opinion. Their pizzas are all really good.

everything they have is pretty good.

but it ain't no buffet where i can keep eating pepperoni rolls on repeat.

i heard they're moving out to 2305, in that concrete monstrosity across from WalMart.

Yep, they have a pretty awesome space planned from what I saw. And they definitely need the space. Everybody wants to be out on 2305 I guess. It's the happenin' spot.

I live on the very end by the park and when I moved here it took like 8 minutes to get to I35. Took me 20 yesterday and is only getting worse.

Progress. I guess.

In an odd coincidence I'm driving by that monstrosity in about 45 seconds.

Don't TexAgs and drive people.

i was there this morning for my kid's last orthodontic appointment.

i'm in north Temple and don't do a lot in that area much any more, but i'm not super happy about that whole thing because i feel like they built out crossroads to be a beautiful area and kept a lot of the pepper creek trees...

and then razed all the trees between the soccer and football fields and that pile of buildings and freaking apartments.

i'm a little bitter about it. i coached a flag football team for a school and that was our home field last year and this year. the trees hid all the construction. they took down the line of trees just for more parking spaces when they could have left them there and lost maybe 5-10 feet at worst and gave separation from the park and whatever all those things are out there. you at least still felt like you were in a "park" and not suburban sprawl.

i'm pretty libertarian and a capitalist at heart, but people cutting down trees unnecessarily for a few extra feet grinds my gears.

I drove by crossroads the other day and saw what you are talking about.

That does suck.
