Has anyone been to BeauSoleil, kind of behind where the old Petrol Station is? Curious how it's doing...

WTF is up with Texadelphia franchises? Seems like since the big one on westheimer folded, the few other iterations have popped up and failed relatively quickly. The new spot seems to be a snakebit location, too.

The one on 1960 years ago was not up to snuff on the old school queso and cheesesteaks quality, the vintage park one was a flash in the pan, and the recently closed one off i10 in memorial was always empty and not THAT great.

just Chuys syndrome? used to be good, chained out expanded menus & sucked anus?

The one next to Treebeards off Bunker Hill seemed like it was doing OK when I've been over there.

Chuy's added their Chile Rellenos back to the menu recently, so that's good.

There's a Texadelphia opening up in Fulshear sometime this fall by the south entrance of Cross Creek Ranch. The area is crowded enough that you'd figure they could support another restaurant. I just don't know if that area has enough of the clientele that realize Texadelphia is a bar and cheesesteak place and not just another sandwich shop.

It's open. You Northside folks need to check it out and report back.

I'm looking forward to the Western-themed cliff divers.

When they announced the concept I thought it sounded dumb as hell.

But the outside and kid area look pretty awesome.

I know this is old, but we've been a couple times. It's been busy every time we've gone. Only like 10 tables inside plus the bar and patio, so make a reservation for dinner. Food was good. A little pricey.

I believe the story is Miguel Facundo (Facundo Construction) that was one of the first builders in Garden Oaks and also built "the little couple" house was building it for a restaurant group, but they backed out before opening. So he found a chef and opened it himself with a vrbo / party space above.

Oddly enough we went a couple weeks ago.

We really enjoyed it. The tables are awkwardly large. So you're further away from your spouse and makes it loud and harder to talk (some might argue this is a good thing). But the food was awesome

it does look pretty nice. Seems like The Rustic with play areas instead of live music.

And white table cloth, steak house pricing.

prices look pretty similar to Rustic.

Definitely isn't cheap.

Someone has to pay for that build out.

The Cafe menu does look good, but this IPA list is top notch (other then Belgian owned mass produced one that I'd drink if I'm forced to).

Fo sho

Anyone eaten at Star Rover that replaced Superica?

I looked at the menu online but seemed very focused on steaks and the prices seemed pretty high.

I knew steak would be its specialty but surprised it's like 90% of the menu and no variety of sides.

Went last night. Steaks were very good, but definitely on the too expensive side.

Rolls were great, salad was good but way too big. Fries are ok, onion rings were very good too.


It's not something I'd recommend as steakhouse for out of towners, but a solid neighborhood restaurant if you are craving a steak.

If it's just a neighborhood steak place, then no reason to leave my backyard grill...

For real. There is no such thing as a neighborhood steak place.

43 dollars for a piece of redfish. yikes

But it comes with a salad, rolls, fries AND onion rings!

Marketed to people who don't realize it's a fish you can catch in Galveston with a piece of dead shrimp.

All the kids in the netted treehouse area looking into their backyards ruined their naked sundays I guess.

I will say, the buildout of it is pretty awesome, inside and out.

Maybe the townhouse creepers should stop taking pictures of children at the playground?

I'm sure these 3 story townhouses don't have any windows that overlook the fence and down into the patio, right?

I'm not saying I wouldn't be annoyed, but you bought your townhouse directly adjacent to a commercial space that was also previously an outdoor bar that used to host nightly/weekly oompa concerts. Buyer beware?

Please tell me this quote came from someone living in a townhouse.

Nah, looks like he's in an original house and needs to mow his yard.
