CoolBuddy06 Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I stopped by PTC today, it's looking nice. I'll stop by again this weekend with a camera...I think that complex, especially Macy's willbe helped a lot if that storage beside the road is pulled down, don't you think?

westguy76 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I have only been to, and seen a Cheddar's in DFW. The burgers are good, and it isn't expensive.There is a Cheddars at Westpark and Beltway 8. Just south of where the Cinemark was. It has been there for years, it's all right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hbcu Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 McDonald's Burgers have gotten much drier and smaller since the 70s and 80s...it was better when they used to premake the burgers and slip them down that rack already wrapped....now they keep the meat warm in a draw but it's dry as I dont know what Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect my neighbors who live west of 288 feel the same way.Yes, that Kroger is at best a 10 or 20 minute drive from us west of Kingsley, and sometimes much longer. Considering the time, traffic, and cost of gas, many folks would rather do their shopping, dining, fast-food munching, or whatever closer to home.

I believe the stretch of 518 between the Pearland towncenter and Shadowcreek center is well designed. There are 6 lanes of through traffic, plus 2 left turning lanes westbound into the towncenter at all 3 westbound entrances to the towncenter (the first road, Business Center Blvd, and Kirby). And even the east bound traffic has a turning lane at those 3 intersections. That is far superior to what 518 has east of 288. I agree there will be traffic congestion at the towncenter, but in my opinion it can be blamed on the lack of feeder roads along 288. I was quite disappointed when I saw that project now shows a projected completion date of Jan, 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chamo Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 The Denny's and Thai Cottage are open now. Lots of cars parked in front of both. I haven't tried either yet.Thai Cottage food was excellent. Great lunch specials. Tried a curry plate and the fried rice. Also stopped at Denny's around 6:00 a.m. this past weekend. I was getting back home and given my condition at the time any food was going to taste great.Did you see the new blog of Robert at the Chron. Like him I was expecting traffic to be worse than it has been after the opening of PTC. Probably since we are west of 288, we don't feel it as bad as people on the other side. We'll have to wait and see what happens during the holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll have to wait and see what happens during the holidays. Yep, just read that today. I posted a comment under the alias I See the Problem. Westbound traffic on 518 in front of the towncenter seems fine, even at peak times, which is about like I expected. However, the eastbound traffic there can still be a nightmare. That last traffic light before going under the 288 overpass is the killer; I timed it staying green for only 20 seconds in the middle of peak hours in the afternoon. Totally ridiculous, and the cause of the backups and gridlock at the intersections in front of the towncenter. Hope someone fixes that soon. On a happier note, Wendy and I must try the Thai Cottage soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWSchultz Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 On a happier note, Wendy and I must try the Thai Cottage soon! Thai Cottage is excellent. I have been enjoying them for years over in Clear Lake for lunch. I told them as soon as I moved to SCR two years ago that they need to put in another restaurant in SCR. I told them the area was booming! They finally listened to me. My wife and I are absolutely thrilled to have a Thai restaurant nearby finally.

My wife and I are absolutely thrilled to have a Thai restaurant nearby finally. We tried Thai Cottage for the first time last Monday. It was OK, but we left feeling underwhelmed. The satay appetizer we had was quite disappointing. We prefer other Thai restaurants in the GHA more than this one, but on the other hand, this one is only 1 mile away from home. We could learn to like it more with that advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also tried for the first time the Fish City Grill; service is not smooth yet as you would expect from a new restaurant, but I have to say that food was a great surprise. Just happy to have new options around the area. Mimi's & Red Lobster should be up and running pretty soon too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are opening at the end of October..... I remember originally when the PTC plans came out they were talking 2009 opening for Dillard's, so they did pretty good.Training is going on at Mimi's so should be opening soon and Gringo's is moving along, I give it one or two months to open.

Timnwendy Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I got an email alert from the PTC today. Dillard's and Mimi's Cafe are now both open.

Timnwendy Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 We ate at Mimi's yesterday. We were happy with the service, food quality and prices. I was especially pleased with their breakfast menu, which they serve until 2pm. IMHO, Mimi's is the place if you want a step up from Denny's or IHOP. The nice thing is that Mimi's prices were comparable to IHOP's - not expensive like I had suspected. We also went to Dillard's and it looks nice. Looking forward to when that Gringo's opens...

Chamo Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Coming soon to Shadow Creek Town Center; Mooyah; sign is up. Nothing wrong with Burger King & Whataburger for my personal taste, but good to have another option.A friend told me that he ate the best burger ever at a place called Five Guys in Brazos Town Center; 20 minutes or so from my office; I will have to go and give it a a try.
