Really gettiung excited for a place that makes 75% of their money from drinks, has to be. They have a happy hour or whatever they call it from 2-4 and drinks are discounted. That's the only time I see it somewhat busy.

Re: seafood

99% of the seafood that you eat on "the coast" is no more or less fresh than what we eat in the middle of the country. Anything that is commercially caught is at least a day or two old, and in fact that's actually a good thing.

What Do You Mean That The Fish Is Fresh? Food Republic



So really, about the only truly "fresh" fish you'll get anywhere in the country is going to be some individual(not commercial) fisherman selling his catch that same day. Maybe a little fish market, or roadside stand. You see a lot of those on the gulf coast, some guy selling crawfish or shrimp out of a cooler in the back of this truck. That's about the only way you'll ever get truly "fresh" seafood, short of catching it yourself, anywhere. You're not getting it in any restaurant, that's for sure. Any decent restaurant, whether its on the coast or not is going to need such a large volume of seafood that it is going to come from commercial sources, not some random dude with a fishing pole on his personal boat.

I guess it's really a question of how people are defining "the coast". In Atlanta which is a 3 hour drive from the ocean, you are probably right, it's not so different than living in the midwest. Consequently, I think most of the seafood here sucks. If you go to any number of places at the beach or a harbor town, there is no question you are getting fresher fish, the taste is discernible.

Like I've said a hundred times, this is like the 4th Sonic in MA, and the only one in the SE area - the nearest one is probably 45-50 miles away. It's BIG. Like... they had a private party the other day to celebrate the opening with cops out front blocking the entrance and traffic was backed up for miles because people thought it was open. It's a big deal, it's also about 2 streets over from my house and I can walk there in 3 minutes.

The other issue is my town only has a burger king and a d'angelos for fast food. That's it. Not even a McDonalds or Wendys.

If I ever open a restaurant, I am getting McCheese as my VIP dignitary to cut the ribbon. Return to us, chosen one.

Don't work yourself up too much. It's basically DQ with some better menu options.

They got rid of the dry rub popcorn chicken so I hate them now.

Today was only the pre grand opening, only town residents could get in. I fear for tomorrow. Also it was 645 and they closed at 700 tonight. No way.

Are people that hard up? It's not even "great" fast food. It's OK and reasonably fast and like I mentioned, the drinks are the best thing they have going but I sure wouldn't wait in line for any of it.
