Helps it fit in a little better, despite the rather unimaginative design. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_cuevas713 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 I thought this thing was going to be a basic white facade. Glad that it's brick instead. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samagon Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 that brick choice is disturbing. mainly because I grew up in a time when those 'magic eye' posters were in every mall kiosk, and then Mallrats imbued it into my mind forever. I look at that and the first thing I expect to see is a sailboat. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedistrict84 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 The Corky’s in Katy closed in December. Has anyone heard recently whether the location slated for this development is still going forward? I know there is still one other location in Cypress that is still open. https://communityimpact.com/houston/katy/impacts/2019/12/16/corky039s-ribs-bbq-in-katy-area-closes/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastEndHeritage Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 My gut feeling is that even if this place opens, it will not stay in business for too long. There is a lot great food in the area for a reasonable price. Corkys is overprice and not even authentic Texas BBQ. Sad to say this about a business coming to my hood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My place is nearby and is usually the rally spot for my friends and my wife's friends. Each group has had the Corky's discussion. All give it a "hard pass" for the reasons stated above. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljchou Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 (edited) I feel the same. Similarly, El Burro and the Bull feels like it was barely open before closing its doors (off of Harrisburg). Edited March 3, 2020 by ljchou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBTX Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 It appears to be a pizza shop run by the folks from El Burro and the Bull (or at least that's whose name was on the TABC Application). They are in the modded shipping container across from Merida. I haven't taken a picture of it in a while, but here is the pic of it off Google Street View. It has since been fully painted, they added some lights and seating outside, and look just about ready to open. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good news for me though. I’m just a few blocks away but couldn’t see myself going to Corky’s and wasn’t super excited about it. Hopefully something with a more diverse menu goes in here. But knowing my luck, it will probably be a Chipotle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBTX Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I'm just sitting here waiting for Andes to resurface. Maybe there? Maybe at 2404 Navigation? I dunno, just stay in walking distance please! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastEndHeritage Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 The Allegiance Bank sign is up on the building. Also, the drive-thru is almost finish. Sorry, I didn't take a picture as I was driving. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedistrict84 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 They are moving fast on build-out of the restaurant portion. Maybe a half-dozen workers were present. No sign is up, so I’m not sure if this is still going to be a Corky’s or some other restaurant. https://imgur.com/gallery/vOISdHl (Sorry for the link, it’s inverting the orientation of photos when I try to upload directly, and Imgur imbed feature isn’t working on mobile) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
