Title: Brownie's Post by: Nik on April 16, 2010, 07:53:40 am Brownie's on Harvard is under new ownership. Expect to see some improvements over the coming months. So feel free to stop by and support the new owners with your business!
Title: Re: Brownie's Post by: Ibanez on April 16, 2010, 09:23:47 am Improvements?
No! No! No! No! Leave it just the way it is!!! Title: Re: Brownie's Post by: Breadburner on April 16, 2010, 09:32:55 am It needed it....Once Bill and Rodney were gone there was really no reason to go......
Title: Re: Brownie's Post by: Nik on April 16, 2010, 09:34:44 am Improvements? No! No! No! No! Leave it just the way it is!!! Been there recently? It needs to be cleaned up. I don't know what all is in store, but it really needs some curb appeal restoration. Trim the trees in front and restore the signage. Give it more of a presence on Harvard.

Title: Re: Brownie's Post by: buckeye on April 16, 2010, 09:52:16 am I went a couple years ago. FAST! cheap and basic. Reminded me of service and food at diners that were remarkably old-school when I was a little kid. I hope they preserve that atmosphere.

Get rid of all that pickled oak on the interior! Title: Re: Brownie's Post by: tulsascoot on April 16, 2010, 12:02:09 pm It would be a great place to clean up and make some improvements, as long as the character is retained. Upgrade equipment, plumbing, mild cosmetics would all be good for the business/building.

Title: Re: Brownie's Post by: fotd on April 16, 2010, 12:09:24 pm It needed it....Once Bill and Rodney were gone there was really no reason to go...... That's so gay of you BB.... Title: Re: Brownie's Post by: Nik on April 30, 2010, 10:12:08 am Went by yesterday and the place is already looking better. They cut some trees out front so you can actually see the sign. The inside has been cleaned up a lot. It had been 3-4 months since I was in there last, so it was hard to tell exactly what had changed, but it definitely looked cleaner. Lot of new staff. I went in during lunch and it was fairly busy. All booths and tables were taken when I got there. Still a work in progress, but definitely a step in the right direction.
Oh, and the food was still great. Title: Re: Brownie's Post by: Nik on June 08, 2010, 09:30:30 pm Rick Wells did a segment today there advertising the hamburger eating contest this Thursday.

You owe it to yourself to go find them. I haven't been able to get there in years, but it sure was good long long ago.

I don't know what all is in store, but it really needs some curb appeal restoration. Trim the trees in front and restore the signage. Give it more of a presence on Harvard. Had to laugh when I read this. About a month ago I realized that I've driven past this restaurant hundreds of times on my way to and from TU wondering what the small building might hold (noticed the Open sign in the window, but few other signs of life). I finally looked up one day and spotted the small Brownies sign buried in the leaves of the trees in front of the restaurant. I've since heard great things about Brownies & look forward to trying it. They just might benefit from a sign that can be noticed from the street. Title: Re: Brownie's Post by: heironymouspasparagus on June 17, 2010, 11:53:13 pm Then everyone would know and it wouldn't be the same...
Title: Re: Brownie's Post by: we vs us on June 18, 2010, 08:27:26 am So I drove by Brownie's on my way to work today and took a good look at their sign . . . and, well, my question is: is Brownie a little black boy? Cause underneath all that rust her sure did look like it.
Title: Re: Brownie's Post by: heironymouspasparagus on June 18, 2010, 11:37:22 am Didn't used to be.
Title: Re: Brownie's Post by: mobboss on June 19, 2010, 11:10:52 am it sort of looks that way but its just faded old paint, they have plans to restore the sign to original colors.
Title: Re: Brownie's Post by: zstyles on June 23, 2010, 08:04:44 am Are they going to start accepting plastic? That was my only reason for not going there and another one on Harvard too..PITA to stop at an ATM anymore...

They just might benefit from a sign that can be noticed from the street. You took the words right out of my mouth. I noticed what it was for the first time yesterday when I drove by. I was surprised, as I'd heard good things about Brownie's and never knew it was just half a mile down the street.Title: Re: Brownie's Post by: Nik on June 23, 2010, 10:01:09 am Are they going to start accepting plastic? That was my only reason for not going there and another one on Harvard too..PITA to stop at an ATM anymore... Don't quote me on this, but I believe they are accepting credit cards. I do know that they have put in new, digital touchscreen registers, so I would imagine that if they have that, they would accept credit cards. Edit: Check that. Looking at my credit card statement, I did use my credit card last time I went. So the answer to your question is yes. |
