Ag Solar Guard is moving back to original location on Texas Ave in Bryan this Tuesday. They have been in temp location since fire last year. Congratulations to Susie and her crew.

Was never told thank you or smiled at, so now I go to the place on Harvey Mitchell by the post office.

I've received some of the worst service at Quicker Sticker I've ever had at a car place. They'll just straight up ignore customers for 5-7 minutes and that wasn't the worst part of my experience. Ever since they transitioned more toward a general auto care place it's been abysmal.

It was really a shame since I used their car inspection for years.

The amount of places here that have a total disdain for their customers is mind-boggling. I get it that it's a college town, and you treat anyone under 25 like crap, but some of us live here. Treating everyone like that makes me take my business elsewhere.

I went to Dollar General yesterday to get napkins for my sons engagement party.

The employee checking out was pretty young. The only words spoken to me was "cash or card". Didn't even ring my stuff up correctly which I assume jacks with their inventory. I also had to tell him he didn't scan one item. No acknowledgement when I said "Thanks have a great day".

That's why I like to eat at Texas Roadhouse. Lot's of attention paid to customers and everyone seems happy!

We go to the Dollar General in Carlos for this reason, and that they actually stock the shelves, not leave it in the aisles.

How about a "BCS negative people that tick me off" thread?

It would just be a USPS thread.

Feel free to start that one. I did the restaurant critique one.

And Dollar General, and Ag Solar Guard for starters. Must be plenty more! Let's go!

ETA: Susie and the folks at Ag Solar Guard have always been very nice to me.

Moot point, as inspection stickers are no more.

It was in that transition period when my car still needed an inspection sticker.

I had night and day experiences between the one off 2818 and the one off Briarcrest. The one off 2818 was terrible, while the one on Briarcrest always had very friendly employees when I was there

It was the 2818 one to be entirely fair. Never been to Briarcrest's location

Anyway, there's a new strip center-type building to be built as another part of the Barracks at Cain and Holleman Drive South, though access will be only through Three Bears Drive.

Thanks for the interest. We do have a 95% final iteration. We are not ready to share specific items. We are willing however to share a fact sheet of "things we do".

Handmade fresh 7 inch tortillas that go straight from griddle to taco. They won't sit around like a tortilla machine or how some places let theirs sit before service.

Drive thru for convenience with 3 modes of access to the property, The southbound left hand turn off texas is dedicated with a median cut. Access is way more simple than several other very popular drive thrus in town.

Puffy tacos. The San Antonio classic.

Chargrilled meats. We have a hog of a chargrill and will cook the meats with care.

Breakfast tacos served all day. We have the standards plus a unique signature menu.

6am-10pm daily with the intent of eventually going 24 hours.

Robust catering.

A "choose your protein" section to go with our tacos classicos. You craft your taco with the style of set up and protein.



Will you have fajitas to go or fajita tacos?

Also, the sign on your door is confusing.
" 6am-10pm daily

24 hours
Coming soon"

I can't remember if it said daily or Monday-Sunday, but the confusing part was the two sets of hours and coming soon and some little lights on inside (but obviously nothing written on the drivethru menu yet and didn't seem to be any cars).

I was wondering if it was already open 6 AM to 10 PM and the 24-hours part was coming soon or is it not open yet (apparently), in which case the hours on the sign were confusing.

It is next to Burger King and across the street from the Deacon Dr Wings N More. He posted that the target opening date is now August 1.

Yes. SoFly. But closed when the owner said he received an offer to buy the building that was too good to refuse.

I liked the BBQ place. I'd roll through for lunch pretty regularly.

It was based out...Beaumont, I believe, but the original restaurant went under...and the location was built in 2020.

Boomtown BBQ. I liked it to. Was sad to see it close. Closed in 2022 due to supply chain shortages.

If I'm going in for just BBQ, there's better options.

1. Drive thru
2. Decent BBQ sandwiches
3. Not delusional prices

If I'm honest, my pellet smoker on my back patio.

1775 If I wanna drive
C&Js if I want something quick, and don't mind turkey (its actually good)

A couple places I'm fond of if I'm away:
Pecan Lodge in Dallas
Thorndale Meat Market (butcher that does different cuts)
City Meat Market in Giddings (haven't been in a while)

Places I dislike / I don't get the draw:
Cooper's in CS
Kreuz's in Bryan (when. It was open)

1775 if you have the time Thursday-Saturday.

C&Js (ideally original location on Harvey) any other time.
