re: Schlitz & Giggles to open a restaurant at Perkins Hardware

Gino's is over rated, IMO.

I just dont see the draw. That area is saturated with food and beverage places. Georges takes care of the hole in the wall dive place. Rama has your thai food. Duvics, zee zees, and ivars have every angle of the bar scene taken care of. Zippys has the mexican food. Couple that with the new places and I think you are setting yourself up to fail especially if you have shitty overpriced food, poor service, and limited alcohol selection. I would say I give it a year, but they will dump money into it and probably get a few suckers. 2 years tops.

see the coursey location ..

Zippys isn't Mexican, but I know what you mean.. Jack Warner seemed like kind of a jerk, but I've only had limited interaction with him. Schlittz n Giggles seemed like a good idea at first, but I soon realized that I was paying too much for to wait 15 minutes for a pitcher of beer and to generally be treated like dirt by the kitchen staff. Once I asked if I could get a certain pizza but without the sausage on it and the guy was like "NO!". After the hurricane, they had a limited menu, the place wasnt very busy at the time and I offered to pay extra to simply not put sausage on it (for my vegetarian friend) and he still said No. Made me feel like I was in some highly rigid thinking place like Wal-Mart, or something. I was very hungry, so I ordered the pizza, watched the same guy put sausage on it (that I asked him not to) and later let her pick the sausage off. I havent gone back since then but they seem to be doing good business.

Which one are you? Brandon or Jack?

acme as upscale had me saying wtf as well
