Yep, someone will buy them and it’ll probably be the best thing to happen for them. That place needs a refresh.

Thank God. That place sucked and the owner was a bitch. Any place that is cash only in 2022 deserves every bad thing coming to them

few loyal staff



Hmmmm, you treat people like garbage and wonder why so few are loyal? I lived close by and went once. Underwhelming food, bitchy woman and filthy restaurant. If she spent as much time cleaning as she did being rude to people...Anyone know where she is from? The attitude reeks of the Northeast.

Not enough employees? Are they waiting for the next round of graduates, from count College? Rumor has it there are a few with a 3.9 in Bitch Studies.

So which is worse, the old lady treating customers like shite or the food of this BR staple? Or combine both and say good riddance


Both, and good riddance

I said in the last thread that I would smile on the day FDL closed and something better took its place. I’m not quite smiling yet, but I can definitely feel the corners of my mouth starting to tug north

I would love to see someone try to replicate what they do with actual care and quality ingredients.

Their style of pizza is pretty great and rather unique (at least in this region - it’s rather close to a midwestern/Chicago tavern style), and the Round the World with anchovies, is really a fantastic combination of pizza toppings for the style (although, I really hate the canned mushrooms).

This is why the BR food scene isn't taken serious.

The most expensive restaurant in town is openly admitting they use a jarred pasta sauce in their lobster pasta

Who actually owns/runs it right now? I am assuming it is the original owners kids? Who would more than likely be in their 70s? .. I would hope if any of the grandkids ran it they would have adapted to a more modern strategy.

But still curious who is actually in charge over there. Always found it odd that there wasn't someone that everyone knew and liked that was the "face" of the restaurant

As hinted at previously, I wonder if the land underneath the business has become so much more valuable than the business itself.

Although blaming non-employees also does not seem to be a winning plan.
