Famous Dave's Speculation??

[GJusSayin]

Does anyone have any idea what is going to go in place of Famous Dave's?  I hope it's something tasty!

I know it's someone with deep pockets because they paid enough for the space that FD was willing to give up the Tulsa market and leave.

This is the first I've heard.
sounds pretty unusual.
Here's an article:

Did anyone still go to Famous Dave's?

Probably about 6 or 7 years since I was there.  Just wasn't THAT great, and kind of pricey.

I always thought Famous Dave's was a burger place, never went. Guess I didn't miss much.

It's not horrible - everything is edible, just not great.

Oklahoma Joe gave Famous Dave an offer he couldn't refuse?... (Violin playing in the background)

This will break my bosses heart. He just loves that place. I tried it a couple of times when he got it for our live remotes here at the office. I gave it a big "Meh"

If true that is good news. They need another/larger spot than the one by Bass Pro.

I also heard someone was looking at the old Santa Fe Cattle Company location at 121st & Memorial. The friend I heard it from was speculating that was Oklahoma Joe's as well. Of course he had no basis for that speculation other than his own wishful thinking.

If this Famous Dave's was really profitable and corporate only sold becaue it was a too good to pass up offer (seems a little hard to believe), then it has to be another chain.  No local joint is going to pony up that kind of money to open up in the middle of all those other chains.

Maybe a Ruth's Chris as speculated on this TNF thread?

Could be, although Ruth's Chris would bring some much higher price points to that stretch of 71st St.

Meh.  Never really saw the attraction to Ruth's Chris.

That occurred to me, too.   But as DTowner said . . . that's pretty pricey for the current neighborhood.

I find it odd that someone would make a large unsolicited offer for that location, considering the various other spots nearby that are available.  Maybe being in the mall parking lot is more valuable that I would give it credit for.
