Figured they couldn't compete with the gas stations hamburgers, or maybe Judice Inn.

I heard the same. Them and chipotle I think are supposed to be there. Or maybe it's 5 Guys and Panera Bread
Whoever it is needs to hurry! I want a new lunch spot

I work for the Architect that drew plans for the shell space. Build out is a different entity and from my knowledge build out of restaurant will start soon.

Haven't been. Is it not worth a try? I think a Five Guys is opening in Harahan soon.

I'm no Five Guys torch carrier but this is just bullshite. I'll take a FG burger over Wendy's crap anyday of the week. Even if it costs $2 more.

Nextdoor to starbucks on ambassador. Word is they should be done shortly. I never found out what the hold up in progress was about.

You probably should go close and lock the middle door of the building. It's been swinging open for like 2 weeks straight. Probably have some hobos living in there.

If nothing else, thats one ugly shell of a building. The color scheme is putrid as well.

I am. Eat there at least twice a week. Good food but alas everybody on this board has an opinion and a preference so try it. If you you don't dig it...NEXT.

with the exception of being a hamburger not even close in "sameness" and lunch today cost me $9.18 for double patty cheeseburger and about a half pound of hand cut fresh french fries and a medium sprite.

Well I think the best thing they have is the hot dog and it's always overlooked.

I'm a Max's hamburger fan.

Haven't had one in years.... I'm a judice inn guy myself. I had 5 guys for the first time last week and I was surprised that I enjoyed it as much as I did. I think it will do very well in that location.

I don't know what happened, but this is me waiting.

I just want some animal fries.

At lunch, someone should park a food truck right next to Judice Inn called "Just Fries" and make an absolute killing.

I would consistently pass over grabbing lunch from Judice Inn because a burger without fries is just plain stupid. Now, if there were a food truck there that would whip up all kinds of different fried potato options, then I could order my fries to go, order my burger to go, and then be set.
