The SJWs are starting to leave low ratings. Smokie needs some love. How about y'all go by the page and help balance it out.

I've never been much of a George's fan, but I will not be patronizing them because of this.

I have always enjoyed that location and understand it is a bar with some decent food.

It just does not register as a Karen or SJW hangout.

If he is open I may need to go tommorrow since it will have less people in it. Lol.

Smokey, always seem like a guy that does not mind saying things like this.

Lol yep, these bitches would get more angry if they saw the old "Unattended children..." sign behind the register in the O'Neal location for many years.

So you don't go there anyway but you're definitely not going now because he said "China Virus"? Gotcha

Was hoping he meant 'now' instead of 'not'

Yea - there's things some folks would find more culturally offensive inside the restaurant. Like the poster of a blackface movie right outside the hall that leads to the bathroom.

Gotcha. Maybe that's what he meant. George's isn't my favorite restaurant or anything but they do some things well.

The burger I had for lunch was solid. My kid liked hers too.

I like how all like to preface it with "lifelong customer but no more!" most of them are likely full of shite but they think that lead in gives the statement more weight.


Yeah, any "lifelong customer" would certainly know this is about Smokey to a T.

Maybe they put that up back when CNN, CNN's victim viewers, and even fricking CCP party propagandists were calling it the Chinese coronavirus. They are closed, after all.

China is not an ethnicity. It's a country. The one from which this virus originated, actually.

Poor decision making for stating a fact??


I'm just saying it was a conscious decision to use that word over another. I don't think that's the wisest course given the thin margins he likely operates on and how they're likely struggling with the closures. I'm not saying he's horrible or racist for doing so or that it hurt my feelings.

But go ahead and roast me for not having the single agreed-upon opinion.

I'm going to assume you aren't in BR slag.

Besides, it is the china flu.

I just took the time to report their negative reviews as hate speech.

Not anymore, but I still live on Earth in a place with restaurants. BR isn't special and restaurants purposely taking a stance or commenting on world events isn't new.

Just saying this isn't the wisest time (in my tiny female should-never-have-been-granted-suffrage opinion).

If they are wildly successful as a result of this, kudos. I just wouldn't have chanced it.

The St. George location was my Monday red beans stop. Haven't had them in a some time, so I'll make it a point to go have them this coming Monday for sure.

This is the type of place where it won't impact them at all.

It would be like Starbucks putting up a "diversity is our strength" sign or something like that.
