Looks like Brookside Lao Thai closed

Too bad.  Good food but it was never busy when I was in there.

Is it true that there is a new Greek restaurant in town?  Someone mentioned it today, but I forgot the name. She said it was mentioned on the radio...am wondering if she "thought" they said Greek restaurant, but it was the festival...

Anyone knows?

Helen of Troy on S Lewis around 65th or so on the west side of the street.  Sam, the owner is a fun guy and the food is pretty darn good.  I like the lamb kabob and the gyro dinner.

Has anyone tried the new Cheesecake factory restaurant?  I don't know anything about it, but the lines outside tonight was quite amazing to watch.  Is it just because we have a new place in town to try, or they're that good?[:O]

The Obesity Factory is nasty...just another link in the Ring of Lard around Hoodlum Hills Mall.

10% of all Restaurant Week food sales are going to the Food Bank.  Other restaurants involved in Restaurant week are
A Bar and Kitchen (which still looks closed)

A Bar and Kitchen is closed, he's selling it, this may be old news.

Not bad.  Top end is around 11 or 12 if I remember correctly.  Now I have a craving for a Gyro sandwich for lunch but I will be at the fair checking out the wedding cakes.  IF you have never been to the cakes show at the fair, go, it is amazing.

What happened with A Bar?  I thought it was great, and seemed pretty busy (although not always an accurate measurement of business or how funds are handled).

I read in Friday's Spot that Alioli was also closed.

[ARGUS]

A_Bar screwed up when they switched bar tenders every other week; well that and most of the food was mush.
Alioli was good...a wee bit pricey but a great place to have a bite and a drink. Freindly...YES! FREINDLY place that had GREAT food...dispite the local gone virus email banter about "crazy" Terry Turner (crazy in a good way).
I hope Keo rocks and begins a new period in Brookside. LaoThai....I wish they were more consistant...I ate there several times...never did they hit the mark w/ good food or service.
The location would do well as a Pizza joint; Brookside does not have one....yet.

We visited SoCo's Sports Bar last twice last week. SoCo's is in the location of the old Embers at 81st and Harvard.
Tuesday night, no crowd, good service good food.

Friday not crowded but more people.  AWFUL service and never got to the food they were so slow.  We werent the only ones.  A group of 8 that meets every Friday at another locale walked out.
If you want to go there, you better get there soon, they wont be around very long.

A somewhat new restaurant that my wife and I like to visit sometimes is 'Average Joes'. It's at 81st and Garnett. Great food and service as well as a good selection on the menu. They also have a a lot of TV's playing football games, news, etc. We never have to wait long and you can go right in and sit down. It's connected to a driving range and a putt-putt course so you/kids can enjoy some putt-putt after dinner.

Here's their website.

I know that sounds like an ad but I just like the place. I also like the fact that it's locally owned and not some big chain. Check 'em out.

Thanks for the review.  I have been wondering about this place.  Now it will be put on my list of places to check out.

Another great place by SOCO's is down at 81st and Lewis. Mack's Grill. I think it opened about the same time as SOCO's. It is where Da Boat was before. I went a few weeks ago. We went on a Tuesday night and it was packed. They have really awesome fire pit tables outside and the food is freakin awesome! I talked to one of the owners when I was there. He is a former Marine and owns it with his sister. I went again some weekend to watch a football game and it was fun. Anyway, check it out. Way good food and service. It will be around for a long time I think.

When we had the bad experience at SoCo's we left and went to Macks.  
That has become a fairly regular hangout for our Friday after work get togethers.  They are super nice and accomodating people.
