Drago's is closing

Man, how does one invest in remodeling someone else’s property without a long term agreement in place first?!?

I do not believe his explanation he got from someone was accurate. That lease, when they left, had a number of years left on it. However, I think that lease had escalations yearly and it just outpriced them for the amount of food they were selling.

It was a service station a very long time ago. (Back when the drive in theater was still operating).Texaco I think. They tore it down and built a shoe town. Then the succession of bars and restaurants. Tucans was owned by Bobby Silor. A bar/restaurant owner that had establishments that would have "fires". The joke around town was "how much gasoline does it take to burn a restaurant down.....toucans".
All I have to say is the only thing in common with all the establishments that were there is the landlord.

Ah, much like Boo-Boo’s and Chateau Rouge. Darnedest thing, they just happened to burn.

Maybe our CHSNI guys could confirm this, da berry lore had a famous local politician tell his son one afternoon not to leave his new bike too close to the house that night. Allegedly, the house burned and the namesake told his fb teammates at practice about it. Dogged the boy mercilessly.

Similar food genre as Lafonda.

Will it pull from that crowd? I doubt it but will probably affect Chuy's and the like

SG will have the parking lot in grid lock for first year, but she will long term earn very valuable, Lafayette market share.

Just pray they don't have some catastrophe grand opening like Burger Tyme.

Is Burger Tyme still open?

Superior Grill has never been a disappointment in Baton Rouge for me. Once they open, you will be lucky to get in less than an hour.

Yeah id imagine superior will be slammed when they open. I lived in BR for a few years. I liked it okay, but it’s nothing I would wait a long time for. Catch me at a dive like El Potrillo any day over SG.

Well, for one they bought more than double the amount of hard corner land which was amongst the most expensive in town. Second, they are not only in it for the massive construction costs of their building but of the development, buildings and infrastructure of the surrounding parcels.

I believe you are way over confident in your inaccurate facts. Time will tell.

Is Burger Tyme still open?

Not currently. I believe they are relocating.

Is Burger Tyme still open?

Overpriced, low-quality burgers.

Overpriced, low-quality burgers.

Burgers "Cajun Blaze" were great but they never fixed the atrocious drive through speaker or microphone.

That was the least of their problems. Their burgers were awful

25 places in Lafayette competing for best burger. If your burger is awful, you probably don’t stand a chance.

I give Superior a better chance. This town really likes mexican and they will be as good or better than just about anybody around. They have some of the best margaritas in town and they are probably going to do it up nice outside. It should be a fun place but I think they will be in it for the long haul. Chimes has such a financial hill to climb with their entry costs being sky high. Don't want to see anybody fail but they could be a good candidate.

How much better can a margarita be at superior grill than say La Pagua, to wait for a chain restaurant food?
