Ziggy's Healthy Deli is opening a street-level location across Main Street from The Flying Saucer, in the old Tollhouse cookie location. They expect to open in January and will be open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and on weekends.

You're telling me, I live across the street from it *rubs hands together greedily*

Good to hear. I wonder if they will have any outdoor/sidewalk tables.

Good luck to them. Every place seems to fail at that location.

Yeah, but mostly lousy chains. Yatra just failed next door as well.

I'm not surprised that Yatra failed. Part of the their business model involved not including rice with any of their entrees, and then charging extra for it. That sort of thing doesn't fly in this town. I think Ziggy's will do well. Lawyers and Energy Execs who wouldn't eat at the Nestle Toll House shop will eat Ziggy's.

Sounds good, what's the average price of an entree?

does Ziggy's have affiliation with Kenny and Ziggy's Deli on Westheimer?

Our average price per person is $11.50 including alcohol. So breakfast and lunch is a lot less.

Yes, definitely. We have outdoor seating at our other 2 restaurants and have already started work on our sidewalk permit for Downtown. We'll have patio seating on both Main and Capital. We will have a full bar so drinks allowed on the patio as well.

The Saucer has a bikerack right across the street. That'd be pretty convenient.

Sweet, I'll be visiting some time.

And I assume by your breakfast/lunch comment that you'll be open after downtown business hours

Yes, I've asked the Downtown District if they could help us get a bike rack. Many of my employees bike to work.

[Ziggys Grill]

Yes. Our hours for the downtown location will be:

Monday - Friday 7 am to 10 pm.
Saturday - 9 am to 10 pm
Sunday - 10 am to 3 pm

Happy hour every day to 6 pm
Breakfast every day to 11 am (3 pm on the weekends)

I really really really hope the downtown residents will help us make dinner feasible!

Just saw a tweet...This is going to be open today for brunch.

I was dissappointed to see that Ziggy's on Alabama at Greenbriar had closed. I just had lunch there in early January. I'm pleased to see the new restaurant opening at Main and Capitol though. I am downtown often enough during the day and evenings that I'm sure I will be making at least monthly visits.

I know it is difficult to maintain more than one restaurant location. When the Carter & Cooley Deli on Prairie closed I asked the owner why that was. He said between the location in the Heights and the one downtown he was strectched too thin and feared that quality would suffer.

Ziggy, I'll see you soon.



Oops! There is only one 's' in disappointed. I guess I am greatly disappointed that the Ziggy's closest to my office and apartment closed. Like I wrote though, I know how to find my way to the new one.

[The Great Hizzy!]

I've been meaning to give the new location a try. Today, however, I passed it up in favor of Byrd's and tried their turkey and swiss. Not a bad sandwich but a little expensive. Ziggy's is definitely next up.
