Anyone know what's going on at Camille's on Cherry Street? Two weeks ago I noticed a yellow ryder truck, around dusk I think, moving stuff OUT.

Now when I walk by it looks empty inside. What's happening there?

Doesn't surprise me if they're gone.

Wasn't this their flagship store?  It was the biggest and nicest Camille's, IMO.  The service wasn't very good though.  I'm hoping Cosi moves in!

Service was always on the poor to horrible side there. Food was decent enough, but if the service at a place is poor I will give them 2 or 3 chances to correct it and if they don't I will never go back. Maybe other people had the same experience and felt the way I do.

I went to the one on Riverside PKY once a week for a long time.  Then they raised their prices and made their sandwiches cheaper.  Now I go about once every 6 months.  I have even had gift cards the whole time so it would be "free" to eat.

I went to this location once and was surprised at the blandness and poor quality for the money.

I moved on.

And this location is close to the same size as the one at 71st & Yale.  I sent them an email saying this would be a great location.

The owner IMO is spreading himself thin. His new Southern California gourmet hot dog biz. Coney Beach has alredy tanked in Bixby and I thought he had signed a deal with Wal Mart to put Camille's cafe's inside new Super stores. Havent heard if that actually happened.

I always kind of questioned the concept of a "gourmet" hot dog.

How long ago did that tank?

I Googled Coney Beach Bixby, OK and the website is Rex's Chicken. From some of the reviews I read from Urban Tulsa and Urban Spoon were mixed at best. It sounds as though they tried to combine parts of Pennington's with gourmet hot dogs and burgers, and add Rex's as well.

My company installed the Satellite TV service there. I thought that they were way over priced for what you were getting.
He claimed that the concept came from SoCal beach Hot Dog restaurants he had visited there. Just didnt catch on here.

Here is one from Diners, Drive Ins and Dives that I hope to check out sometime soon.
