Maybe giving away free drinks for life to the first 100 people wasn't such a good idea.

Quality of the BR location went down fast. Does anyone know if the Brothers next door has finally started selling chicken?

I wouldnt be surprised. There never seems to be anyone in there.

They let the chicken sit out way too long and the smaller pieces get hard as hell.

I was convinced originally it was just a place to launder money anyway

They never had customers. The place has been empty since the day it opened.

They also have some long hours. Open until 1 am on weekdays like today and something like 3:30 in the morning thursday to saturday. Thats a long time to stay open to not serve anyone

Theyve also put forth pretty much no effort in making the place work. Theyre almost a niche food for the area so I would imagine you really have to push your food on social media to do the business of, lets say, Mooyah next door

Good. It’s terrifying to me that they could use openly Muslim names like halal to name a restaurant in America

2.5/10

You can do better than that, Gaucho. Keep your head up.

When did the Shreveport location close? That’s disappointing to hear, because I enjoyed it for lunch from time to time.

I didn’t assume it would last very long. There was never anyone in there.

A couple of months ago. It’s not surprising; it seemed empty every time I drove by. Which was often being next to Whole Foods and me eating their salad bar once a week.


I don’t think I ever saw a customer there. They had a bad location. Plus Shreveport has too many restaurants right now. At some point, they need to quit issuing licenses. That area is choked with them.

Overpriced mediocrity served with a dollop of pretentiousness..... But that is the definition of bomb in dallas so im surprised it didn't thrive.
