Pete's needs to be on Restaurant Impossible

[barisaxman]

For a place that's been an iconic part of many people's lives (mine since the 1970's) to go into such decline is a damn SHAME! Wish I had the money to buy it and return it to its former self.....

Is there any place that makes homemade potato chips like they do??

I do my fantasy baseball and football drafts at Pete's. Nothing beats it for that purpose. Other than that it's a let down. I do like the food but you have to wait about 2 hrs. to get it. Service is horrible.

We go on occasion, I guess out of nostalgia. The food is usually good, but the place could certainly use a good cleaning.

It hurts me to just think about what Restaurant Impossible would do to that place. They'd rip out all the old helmets, paint over the USL murals, and make everything look modern with bright colors. Yuck.

I've seen what this guy does. He really does stick to the theme of the restaurants, and they come out looking really nice. This guy would have it jazzy snazzy in no time.

I don't think I wanna know what "jazzy snazzy" means in any situation...

Me too, my wife and I had our first date there....

The event when they reached their zenith.

For the record I am saddened that 'it appears' they saw competition and decided to coast.

The best Pete's was the one that was close to campus across from those townhouses. That was in the late 80's. I believe it became the Bulldog. Not sure what it is now. I don't remember the service being great or the place being that clean. Those burgers were pretty good and cheap. Great place for student to get a few brews and a meal before hitting the strip. I wonder if we are looking at it through older peoples eyes.

Never been to the "new" Pete's on Johnston but ate a lot of burgers and drank a lot of beer at the former Pete's across from campus.

Oh god...I had Pete's last Friday night after the baseball game...4 days after a re-inspection!!!

Update: apparently it was because walls/ceilings or attached equipment are not in good repair. I was hoping it wasn't for booty juice found in hamburger meat. Crisis...averted.

Quit being a sissy. Everyone knows the booty juice drains off when you cook it.

I think that Pete's brother Preston Guidry needs to take a look at it---I think that he owns the building and I know that he is a former teammate and very loyal UL backer---he built the business to what it became!!!
