I love that place so much. Their fideo is just like my mom's. MAYBE THIS WILL CONVINCE THE OLD MAN THAT WE NEED TO STAY IN BCS


Apparently my wife makes really good fideo, because our kids will eat it every meal if they could and they are super picky.

I'm more of a chicken express person here though.

Off topic but I've got to ask, what's the deal with their sweet tea? I mean, no normal human can drink it as-is, right? I always have to order half regular tea and half sweet tea from there. I've only tried the one off Wellborn Rd so I don't know if they're all like that.

Their sweet tea is perfection - proper sweet tea. I will drink it by the gallon LOL

But I'm also Southern, not Texan - we make it SWEET
Why yes, yes I really do run the best (and only) BCS ICEE Guide!

Not sure what status this would be under but Blue Moon BBQ had closed temporarily in 2025 but friends who live near them say they have reopened. I guess there was some bad road construction that interfered with their business or something. If true, glad they are back!

Blue Moon BBQ announced they're closing for good.

Apparently the post was removed followed by a second one saying one of the owner's has dementia and screwed over her son, and now both posts are gone. Not clear if they are closing, closed, or what

Any news on the Boonville HEB? It's been stagnant for months.

The Boonville H-E-B has been rumored for years and years. Every single year TA hypes it up as "groundbreaking within a year" or whatever. It may happen, but it's not much more than a rumor at this point.

They have already started ground work. It has just stopped.

They did buy the property, have a site plan that they are marketing for commercial spaces, and someone did pay to put in the FM 158 infrastructure needed for it. Not sure if this puts it still in the rumor category but it is about as close to a real deal as it can be at this point.

I haven't been over there lately. Have they moved beyond clearing the land and then stopped or just cleared the land and stopped.


I've seen a significant gap between land clearing and start of construction, but I have also seen projects die at that stage. The land next to Olive Garden that was supposedly becoming another putt putt golf was cleared and then appears to have died.

For the last 4 months, every couple of weeks it looks like something small is going on but I wouldn't call it "construction." I kind of wonder if they are waiting for the stop light installation to actually start construction. That area would be nightmare with construction and no stop light.

The Chapter 380 Agreement allows for the HEB to be completed in seven years from when the agreement was signed, which was in 2023, meaning they would have until 2030. Y'all hang tight.

It was a Kettle for like four decades. Are we talking about the same location?

Kettle was a destination where you knew you were going to park and go inside and sit a while.

Is that what is there now?

Fast food/drive-thru needs easy access. That location is not as easy to access as most other fast food locations.

Add in that Weinerschnitzel is not a brand with mass appeal and I don't see it working. I like their food, but I don't see it being the right fit for that spot.

Salad and Go's failure isn't due to the location, basically the whole chain failed. They closed some 40 other locations with the College Station one and literally announced today that the other 32 stores in Dallas and Oklahoma (and that one in Waco) will close January 11th.

They are but people who like wienerschnitzel are low key obsessed.

I have to disagree. That parking lot ties into all the other parking lots in the area. You can get to it from Texas Avenue by the hotel or Southwest Parkway by the old Fuzzy's Taco.

And need a new tire or new suspension after driving through the Arby's parking lot...

Looks like a second Lucky Goat location is coming to the area (first location is Jones Crossing). This is the Shops at Hudson Oaks, on University and Corporate Drive in Bryan. RNL Homes is also locating their headquarters in the new building next to this one.
