Portillos regular hot dogs are just ok… the JUMBO dogs are freaking incredible and even better if you ask for them charred.

Polish Sausage with grilled onions and mustard is great

The italian beef sandwiches you'll either love or hate

Burgers aren't great but if you must get one add bacon.

They have a cheese sauce that will make anything taste better.

Nothing is cheap there so be prepared for the pricing.

Hasn't even opened and already complaining about price.

Just kidding, thanks for the comments on what to expect.

More like a Chicago twist on Freddy's.

Where is this mythical new hot dog place going?

I love me some Weinerschnitzel, but the trek to the Mad Max wasteland of Bryan to get it is a barrier.

Apparently the city of college station will be home to the Brazos Valley Bombers next year. New stadium on University somewhere?

Edit: move to happen in 2027.

Rusty posted on FB that Javi's has applied for their liquor license. Old Red Lobster location. Here is the menu for their Tyler location. Mexican, but looks interesting!

With the THC / Delta 8 ban, I'm betting more than half of the vape / smoke shops are closing down.

Nope. They are working together to lobby Abbott to veto the bill

Anyone know what's going on at the corner of Hwy 30 and Hardy Weedon Road? The corner area doesn't appear to be connected to the streets they are still building for the expansion of the Stylecraft neighborhood. So, I assume sort of business will be a long Highway 30....

Probably implying that the opening of Javi's will take away some/many of Chuy's customers.

Never mind - I did a Google Search - 72 new town homes are going on that corner:

That empty strip mall across from Valley View/Texas Avenue has a sign up for "Lapels Laundromat". Pretty disappointing tbh

Now we just need some more restaurants and shops on this side of town. No more warehouses!

Yeah, just saying that Javi, on that side of town, for sure will pull in the town folk. For me, Chuys just ain't the same after 2020-2021.

The Chuy's here has always been subpar.

Well it is a Chuy's, so it's not like it was ever going to be great to begin with.

Right after they opened? I guess this is an investment deal. Interesting.

Right, I find it odd.

But why would it be so much cheaper than Varsity?

I would surmise that the land basis at the theater was put in at a much lower rate than what varsity's was. Furthermore, Varsity being a one off, it's fathomable that it was built and finished with much less value engineering that Bubba's. Bubba's very likely has their numbers/costs down to a science given that they've built so many. Lastly, Varsity is trying to sell FF&E/contents as a turnkey deal. The Bubba's offering is for real estate only.

The building next to the old Academy was for sale years back for $3 million IIRC, before that home store move in. Apparently some retail prefers renting.
Trump will fix it.
