Bob Evans quality?
I've really never been a fan - but I know lots of - mostly older people - who love
their whole style of food. I mean, how many restaurants have things like meat loaf
or sliced turkey and gravy as their signature dishes?
HOWEVER - it may well be that THAT is what the area will support.
And Mexican. Even though Monterey's is closed, there seems to be a large
appetite for Mexican here, along with steak houses. Stray too far from these,
and your luck will run out eventually.

Not sure what you mean. There are a lot of restaurants around here that have been here for a long time. I mean, what do you consider, "restaurant that endures around here"?

Actually, Monterey's is still here. They moved and became Plaza Azteca years ago.
Don't forget the venerable Linda's Cafe. There's just something about an old style diner. The wife and I love going there for breakfast on Sundays.
That. And the same folks are opening the new place where Cafe de Artistes was in L'town.
Well, we were too tired to try to find someplace to eat Monday night after finding Ruby Tuesday closed and wound up at Bob Evans, where I had the meatloaf and he had the turkey and gravy.
It was maybe my third time eating there and was very satisfied. The food was hot and delicious, and you couldn't have asked for a better server than Joe, the one we had.
Was it a 5 star gourmet meal? Absolutely not but it was relatively cheap, filling, pretty tasty, and great service.
As far as Mexican restaurants and other cheap feed bags, they seem to draw in the crowds and thrive. If there wasn't a demand, they wouldn't survive.

Nothing Wrong with the Eggs, Bacon and Hash Browns .... Had breakfast there Wed Morning
:shrug:
ok so the OWNER Decided to close shop .... well if business was so great
And yet Cafe des Artistes did well for 20 years. And Bollywood Masala! Indian food!! That place is always packed. I never understand why some restaurants hit and others fold quickly.

That's good to hear; it's actually my missus that goes there for breakfast about once a month when she's on her monthly run to Tractor Supply for horsie supplies. She said it was truly awful last time she was there...maybe a fluke.

Go to the Bob Evans in PF 2 or 3 times a month for breakfast, never an issue with food or service. Seems like most of the wait staff has been there since they opened years ago, always pleasant and attentive.
Foxhound and I were at the one in Cali next to the closed Ruby's
Opens 6am ... cheap breakfast

Do you mean - Northridge? Wasn't it also an Irish pub for a while? How many different restaurants have been in that spot - and failed?
How about the restaurants in San Souci? Like the Indian one that was there for a while? And the Vietnamese Noodle place?
Admittedly, a lot of it is - a bad location. Everyone knows the several failures at the place the old Perkins was at.
Ditto where the old Lone Star was - what's there now?
Or that place in front of the McKay's in Leonardtown?
But almost everywhere I go - a restaurant I once frequented - is gone.
In the square in Leonardtown - used to be just Cafe des Artiste was THE one to survive. Now it's gone.
Solomon's has almost none of the restaurants I once went to. Oh the buildings are still there.
They're just - something else now.
It's not that they just fail everywhere - some endure. I have little doubt ANY steakhouse will survive.
No..they are in the old Damions building, across and just north from the base main gate.
Yet the one where the ale house is now was once a favorite of ours and went tango uniform.
The restaurant business is brutal. I was in it briefly in the mid 90s...and never again.

I was involved with a restaurant in the mid 70s and remember reading in a trade mag that of the restaurants opening that year, only 10% would still be open in 4 yrs. We consider ourselves lucky to have survived 6 years.
