Old Restaurant thread

Why would anyone purposely eat at a TGI Friday's? Especially if there are any other restaurants open.

I dunno but the parking lot looks packed all the time, even on New Years Day. I haven't eatten at a TGI Fridays since the 70's down in Baton Rouge.. All those places were good back then, even Chili's. But by the time decades pass and they make their way to Shreveport, it's not the same.

Oh I remember TGI Friday's in Baton Rouge then, too. There was another similar place across College Drive, but the name escapes me. We used to call them the fern bars. Girls night out and strawberry daquiris. :-)

While still on the subject of Ruston... I heard that Stow's closed, may be closing, or is at least for sale.

RIP Stow's, a home away from home.

Stow's is gone, but Sundown is still there and Rabb's appears to be a newer hangout. They get alot of famous folks to come to Rabb's too! I'm amazed at the talent that comes there....Gary Alan, Miranda Lambert, Dirks Bently, Willie Nelson etc....
