The varsity owners are in that building and land for way more than they ever should have been. No one is going to come along and fork over 5+ million to open another restaurant in no man's land on Highway 6

There's an old saying that the third occupant of a restaurant is the one that succeeds. The vast majority of that build out is already spent. As long as the owner of the property understands nobody is buying out that property they'll get it leased at some point. It's a terrible location but someone will try.

This is my profession, and it's going to be extremely tough. They still have hefty debt service on that building. That's going to be a robust lease rate in a location that quite frankly isn't terrific.

2. since it only closed a month ago I would expect to see a new chain restaurant taking up space, or at least a local one
3. it was built when the Harvey Road corridor was a trendier location but yes I would expect to see something new within a year or two
4. kind of an unusual location (no other fast food restaurants like it on that side of the street, invisible from the freeway) so probably non-food
#5 would probably be Applebee's.
Given that Zaxby's has closed in other locations you're probably right, but none of those others you listed are the typical drive-through fast food. A bad location will push a mediocre concept off a cliff.RafterAg223 said:PS3D said:1. yes, Javi's has posted recently about doing a full kitchen renovationBuford T. Justice said:

4. It's highly visible from 40 on both sides. This failure was one of absolutely awful dying concept and poor operation. Raising Canes could backfill that space and crush it. Good concepts will thrive. Blue Baker, La Bodega, and RX are all doing well in the development.

$250 for a dinner with the wife is going to be pricey.

Yes, I tried to say that in the other thread, but was shouted down by the "Ackchuuuuallllyuyy" crowd. It's a shame because I live out this way, but if we can get a more affordable similar experience at Republic, then that's where we will be.
I don't see any Michelin stars next to the HEB.
Location doesn't really matter when it's a "special occasion" place (for most folks). If it's not substantially better than Republic, I'll just go to Republic. The extra 15 minutes a few times a year isn't going to be a problem.Hornbeck said:

Their TDLR filing indicated they will start work tomorrow, April 1.
That's a bizarre stance for a restaurant. Made me think of the Kreutz deal lol.Aggie@state.gov said:
we try to support Anchor Bar as my father is from Buffalo originally and we like it.
but it is becoming more and more difficult to continue. the service has gone downhill.
the food is good. but its never crowded.
the pet peeve in the last 2 weeks is their rationing of silverware.
we asked for silverware and the waitress asked 'how many forks and knives do you need'
they apparently are short silverware because people are stealing them.
Really? read your table, when you have 2 60 yr olds and 2 80yr olds, go ahead and give us 4 forks and 4 knives. and don't be snippy about it.
Quick, start another thread!Captn_Ag05 said:
I hope this thread doesn't just turn into a place to s*** on local restaurants.
