Tinsley's rolls for the win

If Chicken Express had those, I'd be all about it.

La Bodega changed up their specials. Hadn't been in a bit.

Tonight:
$2.99 margs
$2.99 small queso
B1G1 Free Taco plates

We enjoyed it!

I guess I'll just have to go to Popeyes and get a real biscuit.


But then you'll be at Popeyes.


You say that like it's a bad thing. Popeyes is great.

Spicy chicken and red beans and rice.

This thread made me crave Chicken Express so I stopped by for lunch. I was told new menus are coming soon and will be eliminating the "dinner" option (2 sides, no drink) and leaving only the "combo" option (1 side, 1 drink). It's another corporate decision to ruin a good thing.

It's sounds like they got bought out by Bushes

Saw on FB someone post that the current owner of the Ptarmigan Club is planning on reopening it "eventually."

Going to De Baca for the first time tonight, are the Buffalo steaks worth it or am I better off with the beef?

Last I was told was that he had a disagreement with the owner of the business he shared a parking lot with there, and that would be an impasse until they changed their mind.

Man, the Popeyes at SW Pkwy can sure ruin a biscuit.

that's the worst Popeyes in America. I went in after waiting in the drive through for half an hour and then getting back half of what I ordered. I was the only person in there when I went in and they never looked at me for a good 5 minutes. After I finally asked for some help, they acted like I destroying their day.

we went to the one in Bryan once. they were very nice inside. but a group of contractors were getting gas as well. they all went in and got beer and crap to eat. they locked their damn keys in the truck though. instead of trying to get in the normal way, one of them pulled out a giant pick ax from the back of the truck. they broke the sunroof window to get in. one of the craziest things I've seen. everybody around was just staring in awe.

My 3 visits to Tad's in 20 and 21 were so bad I won't ever darken their doors again. Kinda shocked they are still open.

Looks like it won't be for long...

We used to go to Rads a lot but don't anymore. But on Fridays they have half priced apps and drinks special. So a glass of wine or two and an app is pretty darn cheap. That's all I get is one app.

That's an incredible location. Not to far from the bypass y'know. Hope the next owners have success!

It's way far from the bypass, as the bypass doesn't start until north of Rock Prairie.

Still closer than restaurants on Texas Avenue further into town.

Can someone explain the "bypass" joke?

I think it only fair that The Entity (whose name mentioned often produced a ban) explain it as he created this gem.

I really want there to be a competitor to Tad's named Rad's. Like right next to it.

Something a poster who shall not be named started years ago about businesses that aren't successful because they were "too far from the bypass".

Do they own the building or just a sale from the current lessor to another one?

Most people don't even understand what the bypass is bypassing to warrant the name.

Great red beans and rice. In a former life when I lived in my car and could not stop for lunch my favorite Popeyes order was Two Spicy Breasts Please....(they were easy to eat while driving)

The running joke is… whenever a business fails, many times, someone says, "they were too far from the bypass"… to the point it's become cliche.

Re: Tad's and Rad's… the town where my wife got her undergrad, there's two chicken places near each other… "Chicken Annie's" and "Chicken Mary's". They were two sisters who owned one place and had a falling out. The kids at Pitt State are fiercely loyal to one or the other "Layne's vs Cane's" kind of thing,

Popeye's has a wrap with red beans/rice and a spicy chicken strip. It's awesome and cheap.
