Cheeseburger in Paradise

[RoseRed]

I'm seeing on Facebook that they closed yesterday. No notice to anyone. Employees were told yesterday that they were closing at the end of the day. If so, that sucks for them.

Never went there anyway.

Did their business suffer after the rabid skunk incident?!

Seems whatever chain Lubys buys they turn it to crap within 5-10 years.
They did the same to Fuddruckers.

Not very often for me.

I thought about that.

Too many people losing trucks in the parking lot.



It was decent when they first opened, but went downhill. It's been a very long time since I've gone there.

I don't remember the last time I ate there.

 

[frequentflier]

The handful of times I did go there, I was unimpressed with both the food and the service. And the music was so loud inside. Call me old- HA!- but I want to be able to talk to my friends without yelling!

That seems to be the common theme around here. Corporate opens a place and runs it tip-top for about 6 months to a year. Then, they hand it all over to 'local talent' and the place goes to sh!t. Wash, Rinse, Repeat.

Food and service was the worst in the area.......suprised they lasted as long as they did......

It's not just the big chains. Same thing happens with many of the local one-of-a-kind shops too. Lack of good help, fatigue after too many long days, growing lack of interest over time in keeping it alive....

It pissed me off to not get my coin change back, even when I asked for it. That ended up being the servers tip.

It doesn't seem it was a lack of business. They always seemed to be busy. Must have been doing something right.

Honestly, never cared for the place. The food sucked, the service was slow and it just never looked clean to me.

About the only thing I ever eat there were the fish tacos. I thought they were pretty good.

 

[vraiblonde]

I liked to drink there but the food was always icky. I'm not a fan of sweet things on real food and every menu item seemed to have a sweet salsa or something associated with it.

I had a Cuban sandwich there once. It wasn't as good as the ones I've had at the mom & pop places in Miami but it was still decent.

I'm right there with you. The best fish tacos I've ever had was at a small place on the Miami River not far from the Merrill Steven shipyard in Miami.

Never went there, try to avoid "theme" eateries.
