We ate at Christopher's two weeks ago with a party of 3. No adult beverages, just tea, but did get desserts. After tax and tip, bill was $303.
Yep. They've started nickel and diming every little aspect of the meal and the food quality hasn't improved accordingly. Used to love that place but will probably just go to Houston the next time we're in the mood for a meal costing several hundred dollars.


My favorite nickel and dime tactic is charging for the "whiskey cube" of ice for your whiskey instead of just the normal chunks. Blew my mind the first time it happened to me at The Canteen years ago. Now more and more places do it.

Well you know that recipe requires more work to make that big of an ice cube.
Trump will fix it.

I'll pay an extra buck for the big cube. I'm not paying $5.

I don't know anyone around here doing it, but I've been to places that charge a "neat fee".

They charge extra to put bourbon in a glass with nothing?

"Yes sir. You have extra air in your glass and that is not free."

So, I've been told (and I drink enough bourbon to be in a club…) that it's because they figure the bartenders overpour a neat pour.

Then I damn well expect them to overpour that bad boy.

Debaca parking lot jam packed at 6pm. Hoping one of you is there so we can get some board reviews.

Does the cube glow? I'll pay extra for that.

I didn't even put on shoes today. To be fair would have put on sandals to go to dinner but we ordered pizza and are doing garage sale prep.

I'll pay it if the cube is made of more booze

I've made Aggie rocks with vodka and tonic. It melts too quickly.

Probably just overflow from H-E-B or folks that want to get in some extra steps.

The other link didn't have any prices.

It looks likes a steak, two veggies, salad and tea and tip will be around $110 to $120 a person.


That's a lot of food. Skip one of the veggies and the salad and you'll bring your price down a lot.
An 6 to 8 oz steak and one vegetable of probably a half of cup and I will be stopping at Whatabuger on the way home.

My understanding is the steak includes 1 side so that lowers the price by the 2 veggies.

Whatever works for you I guess, but a side at a regular steakhouse is usually enough for 3 people.

Those steak prices for the primal cuts like filet, strip, and ribeye aren't going to cut it around here long term, I don't really care what boutique ranch or single farm they came from. You can get all those cuts in USDA Prime a la carte at a place like Casa Do Brasil for 35 to 40% less. I'm not going somewhere very often where it's going to run $300 for 2 after food, drinks, and tip. This isn't North Dallas.

It looks like it's still open based on active Instagram accounts, etc.

I know that the owner of Carneys (who I think is the owner of The Corner?) is trying to make The Grove (former Kinderhill location) a thing so maybe he's outsourcing The Corner? I dunno, he seems like someone who doesn't want to have too many irons in too many fires.

The sign at Shiner Park at Northgate was coming down today but I don't know if that's a "going" or renovation.

Noticed the lot/land near the Briarcrest Walgreens on East 29th street is being cleared. Does anyone know what is going to get constructed on that site.

New medical examiners office is going in near there on the north side of the road between Briarcrest and broadmoor.

If you are talking about the land adjacent to goessler between Walgreens and the 31Thirty apartment complex, then I don't know.

It's been a while since I drove there due to the construction, but has Checkers reopened yet? It looks like it will be a nice store...meanwhile, I do drive past the old Zip'N on College Avenue and construction seems to be going slowly.

That might sit on the market for a minute. Similar to Summy's place in Indian Lakes.
