Fire at Pete’s

[JMV JustMyView]

Everyone knows it’s a damn sports bar and grill. It’s not a restaurant. You want a restaurant go to the three that surround it.

Correct folks go to Pete just to drink and watch a game and never eat anything.

Ha. Uhoh. Cue vic...
And was the debate about exactly if they weren't a bar they wouldn't be on fire?

Vic ain’t engaging in no debates. If he’s still posting here, it must be a conversation with himself hahaha

"Sports Bar" is a far cry from "Bar"

Ok perhaps not far, but it has always been a differentiator.

I could have sworn I went to Pete’s two weeks ago and was told it was an hour before my order would be ready because the kitchen was so backed up. Good thing nobody was eating. It would have been a longer wait.

Everybody but the owners.

. . . when is the last time you heard anyone say “let’s go drinking at Pete’s” . . . you here “let’s get lunch at Pete” or “let’s eat at Pete’s tonight” or “let’s get a burger at Pete’s” . . . Pete’s is a place to eat and take your kids . . . it is just not a bar . . .

There was a group of about 40 school kids from San Francisco in there eating the other day. So I guess it IS a restaurant. But also a sports bar too, I guess.....The San Francisco 40 minors.

That's just funny!

Sports bars have TVs and food. That’s pretty much the differentiator.

. . . when Pete’s opened, it was a bar . . . a Sport’s Bar . . . no minors were allowed to patron the place . . . at some point . . . it moved from a bar filled with pool tables, fools ball tables and TV’s to something else when it started catering more to families and kids groups for functions after kids athletic events, high school athletic events, Louisiana athletic events to birthday parties, meeting functions . . . just a place to eat which served alcohol and had plenty video type games for playing as opposed to filled with pool tables and TV’s for viewing . . . it is what it is now, but what it is is not a BAR . . .

I think we are seeing longer waits for food in places because of the influx of "to go" orders. Normally if you have to wait for a table you know food delay may follow, but the assurance is that once at your table they are somewhat ready for you. That is why you dont order while waiting and expect the food delivered immediately upon sit down.... But now with to go orders it seems there is no way to know how many to go orders are in the cue ahead of you. For example I went to IHOP and all the tables were empty, but food still took way too long, it turned out there were a lot of "to go" orders being prepared for pickup ahead of mine. Is there a way to inform people of that along the lines of the way they estimate how long the table wait is? Maybe a number sign showing how many to go orders pending, similar to a barber shop number sign? You can make a decision to sit or not stay based on wait time for table but this info needs to be added in to the decision making process

I miss $1.00 burger night on General Mouton. Used to live off of that.
