I'm sure the banks aren't in a huge rush to loan money to build a restaurant right about now.

Just so everyone knows, me and pop just left there and placed 6 Bengal Bombs throughout the restaurant...and having yet another exterminator to come out either Monday and Tuesday to try to resolve the problem.


As I have stated before, It's very embarrassing and we are doing everything we can to try and fix the problem.

Agree. If I had to guess Im sure its because they have a crazy low lease in that location. Even with the current economy lease amounts are very high in BR.


if they're paying market rate for the area .. it isn't cheap .. would be far cheaper to pay a mortgage and get more footage, imo ..

a dempsey's on market street would be a helluva lot safer bet than some of the other crap i've seen going up around there lately ... someone loaned messina's pharmacy the money to build right behind walgreen's and within a mile of CVS and rite aid ..

i hope you don't believe that it would...it's just gotten out of hand. we usually do this quite often but sometimes it doesn't work. we'll see, though.

i'd hope not, hope it works for you ... you guys really do need to look into moving into a more permanent, larger location ... you're losing a lot of business some nights because people can't sit down ..

we're constantly looking...but another thing is that back in the day, when dad and sammy were in business together, they moved locations and it changed the whole feel of the restaurant...

yeah, but you could recreate that atmosphere on a much larger scale in a cleaner, newer location, imo ...

I dont know

But if you ever have Rag as a customer, give that son of a gun a free salad if he gets a gnat in it. And for the love of God give him another buck off a hunk of meat if you are going to call it a special.

If Demsey's were to go and build a free-standing business around the corner. They are no langer just a restaurant business, they are now also now in the real estate business.

i wouldn't say I don't like them, i just LOVE the bigger shrimp.... a gold mine would be leidenheimer bread with your large shrimp !!...I'd pay $10 for that ... you know there is a distributor that supplies Ralph's Market with that bread.... I'm sure they'd deliver to yall

BTW, my employer is probably your biggest customer... (I've had a zillion of yalls fried shrimp)


ETA: I also think yall should move, but not build out new.... i'd just wait for the economy to take down somewhere with a nice place (JCC, etc)... grabbin that semolina building might have been a good move
