It's going to be on or around 2/28. And that date hasn't moved in a few weeks.

Anyone interested in taking bets on how long saltgrass will last.. Given the location, I would set the over under for 3 years. Maybe it’s partly wishful thinking, but I’ll take the over. You must disclose if you have any insider info. Is it a 3 year lease? Corporate office has some 3 year trial pol...

Looking more like late February at best rather than Feb 1.

Maybe this is a dumb question but if CVS is going there (which would be a tiny spot for them and there is one 84th and Center already, but whatever), why would Bucky's need to buy it? It makes sense that Bucky's would buy just to have control, but the CVS part seems weird. They would have two on Cen...

My prediction is that they won’t close, at least not immediately. They have a loan to pay bills and I’m sure they intend to use it until sold. Houlihan’s (parent company of J Gilbert’s) doing something similar but they already have a buyer in Landry’s if no one else bids, it sounds like Granite City...

I went to Des Moines a few weeks ago, it was fine and not really all that busy for lunch. An OK meal, but I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to go back. I'd have rated it 3/5 on the Yelp scale, which would apparently be higher than average: https://www.yelp.com/biz/giordanos-west-des-moines I d...

Man. I have major nostalgia for this one since I lived on 45th and Frederick when I first moved to town, we would always eat there/carryout/deliver. Lots of ups and downs with this dump of a store, but good memories from back when I was a brokester. Godfather's is garbage anymore, unless you can fin...

Addy's is going in the old Local space on 10th and Dodge.

Don and Millie's has the best fast food burger in the region, and yet their fries taste like potato flavored saltwater. It's mind boggling they can't get a better fry. I would pay $2 more a combo for a fry on par with Bronco's, Wing Stop, Runza, etc.

This is on the money.

They have something better than an exorcist in this case: Tilman Fertitta money.

They may flop, but it won't be because of lack of resources. Landry's is a huge company. This says a lot that they like the market.

There will be a new Indian restaurant opening here within a week or two, Biryani-focused from what I'm told. The owners have ties to Flavors downtown, or did. This is all I know so far, I haven't been onsite yet.

43county

The way I see it, it's hard to compare fast food burgers to burgers at a full-service restaurant. You're basically talking about two different things. I love Don and Millie's burgers and I think they're the best fast-food burger in the region, but it's pretty hard to compare that to a burger at Omah...

I do not believe there is any truth to that at all.

As you may know, Zio's was sold 1-2 years ago, but no clue what she's talking about otherwise.

43county

It'll be somewhat of a casual takeoff from the owners of Twisted Cork Bistro from what I understand. Similar Pacific Northwest themed, albeit with a larger bar and slightly more casual menu. I'm hearing that 2nd hand at this point so that may not be exactly right, but the fundamental info is solid. ...

There will be a very cool restaurant going in opposite Charred. A new concept from a great, established local operator.

43county

Closing after Memorial Day Weekend.

I never really got the appeal, but it’s never good to see a beloved locally owned spot in the middle of town close its doors. Sad for sure.

43county

I was there on Saturday night and thought everything was pretty darn good. This is the best actual sit-down BBQ restaurant from a food, service, experience perspective that Omaha has had in my time in the area (2002ish).

43county

Same owners as 712.

Should be a good addition to Village Pointe. A few more local spots should be a good thing out there. Look for some more VP news soon.

Absolutely. They do what I call the ‘small town’ glazed donut better than anyone—big, fluffy raised donut with hard, icy glaze. Delicious.

43county

This is a tough town for donuts. Olson's is definitely the best. Lamar's are pretty solid. I've also heard good things about Sunrize but haven't had them.

Everything else is pretty much average at best.

Wow, that's good news. I know some people are down on Chipotle but it's still my favorite. I've been wanting one in the Tri Cities for a decade now.

43county

Yard House/Top Golf would be an awesome combo for Westroads, IMO. RIP Granite City in that case, but whatever.

Won't do well if the same management brings the same lackluster service.

This is not happening from the what I’m told.

43county

But I assume that it is affiliated with the spot in Lincoln that was open for a few weeks, right?

43county

I have no inside information regarding their financial well-being or anything of the sort, there could be a bunch of factors I'm not aware of. But I can say with 100% certainty that the Upstream downtown serves more people per week in this town than any other full-service restaurant. It's honestly n...

Addy's is going in where the old Buffalo Wild Wings was at 144th and Maple. Greg Is it going to be a new location or are they moving an existing one? Not sure. I am guessing new one since there is not another close by. But just a guess. Greg New one. Should be a good location for them although ther...

43county

The space really is beautiful. They did such a good job with the buildout.

I was able to try the tacos and the queso yesterday and I think it will be a hit if consistent. The salsa roja was outstanding.

Does anyone really think it’s fun to eat a meal in a Hy-Vee? I just don’t get it. As someone who visits grocery stores daily for work, I actually used to like getting the salad buffett. But ever since the Market Grilles have been going in, I stopped. It's way too slow paced when I just wanted a qui...

According to an NAI NP Dodge Press Release, Zio's is opening a new location at 18110 Wright Street (180 and West Center) Think they are going in the location that was open as Uncle Maddio's for about three days? This is correct. Kind of a no-brainer. Pretty sure all of the construction is done.

43county

Open this week, likely as early as Wednesday.

43county

Not sure if this is in any way connected, but Regency Lodge is closing within the next few weeks and I'm guessing it will be torn down.

43county

Move out west not happening, per SBH. And I can confirm.

43county

Very limited food menu, 10 or so items.

There will be quite a few tap handles. I think 32 is the number I was told. Will be split between German and local beers.

43county

It's going to be in the old Subway. Unsure of timeline. I was told that they will be keeping the drive-thru, but don't know personally.

The product at My Pie is my favorite of these fast casual "custom pizza in 3 minutes" that I've had, including Blaze, which has a location in Lincoln. The ingredients are My Pie are pretty solid and I find their crust to be the best of any of them. Not to mention, they have what are litera...

43county

Will probably deserve it's own thread at some point but related: Rosati's Pizza (another chain specializing in Chicago deep dish) is opening in the former Tom and Chee spot on 144th and Maple. No clue on the time frame at this time.

43county

I too would like to see it downtown, and while Capitol is a no-brainer on paper I wonder if their lease/buildout with Lighthouse Pizza will make that an impossibility. Usually there is language about similar concepts in a development, but who knows. I forgot all about Lighthouse going in there. So ...
