Well, if the food is anything like the food at the Bulldog, I understand the criticism. Let's not condemn the place before they serve their first customer though.
It's always all or nothing on this board. No restaurant or bar can exist in the middle ground. What is terrible to the refined palates of the FDB, might be great to the garbage palate peasants out in the real world.
If this place dies, it won't be because of the food, it will be because of the god awful location they moved into. Nothing has ever prospered there to my knowledge, correct me if I'm wrong though.

Well, I can't speak for the food because I've never eaten at the other one, but I've always heard the food was terrible both on here and out in "real life" ( 
). Plus, you have posters who usually defend places saying the place is gross.
I don't think it is unfair to assume, especially knowing this company, that the food will be the same as the other location.
One place was there for a very long time, then it changed a few times.
I somewhat agree with you though. I think the place will do totally fine based on atmosphere and drinks UNLESS the location kills them. The crowd they're targeting doesn't seem to drink over there in that area. (Yes, I know it isn't far from Pelican, but BR is weird as far as locations go)
I have no doubt the food is bad, but I don't think food will have much to do with their success or failure.

My thoughts exactly. People that post here speak for maybe 5% of the customer base. I think the initial cash spent to open and the location will sink them before food does. To 95% of the population mediocre food is excellent...if you ever want proof...go try to eat somewhere in Houma on a Friday or Saturday night. Texas Roadhouse has had 2+ hour waits for like 3 months straight now.
