There are now plenty of spencive places like Catalan, Cova, Max's, etc. and the coming Benjy's, and that's all fine and dandy. On the other hand, there is really not anything that serves average price fare with accompanying bar service. (Btw, I do not consider Molina's reasonably priced or good, besides, it's mexican food and while certainly better, but not real good, El Tiempo is way overpriced and I hate it when bars put grain alcohol in their margaritas). Chili's has the right idea with their new location by Target at Sawyer Heights, but who wants another national chain restaurant? Some forward thinking restauranteur could grasp a niche in the hood here with a reasonably priced everyday fare eatery, with bar service. With all of the condoms in the hood soon to be completed, there will be all sorts of potential customers to pack the right eatery.

Maybe the sports bar will have a burlesque theme and $7 shots too. 30k milis at the least :) Ah ha - this should be good.

All we need is more drunk steoidians wearing their stripies looning around the area after 12pm. Mr. Van Delden's "concepts" are not what the area needs.

The location so close to downtown and I-10 make it very ripe for new development. Yeah,

Am surprised it took this long for something to pop up. Prime real estate in this area. Am surprised it took this long for something to pop up.
