Carpet always smelled weird in there. No big loss. Though the salad bar was good.

Rumor has it that Wilkesboro is losing Red Lobster.
It's a mean ol' economy out there. Quick, somebody tell our government leaders! I'm sure they'll respond with a workable, bi-partisan plan.

Re: Boone Ruby Tuesday's closes.
Middle tier restaurants have been struggling since the mid 2000's. The money is at the high and low end. You would think Ruby Tuesday's biggest competitor would be Applebees, but I think its really cookout and hardees.
Add to that the push among educated middle-income earners to shop and eat locally and I think its clear that chains like Golden Corral and Ruby Tuesday's are in trouble. And of course Red Lobster and Olive Garden are already skimming rock bottom.

Awesome. Another garbage franchise bites the dust. Clearly, people are seeing the overwhelming advantages of eating at local establishments in a culturally rich college town like Boone.
Now we just need to get rid of Applebees, Chilis, Chiptole, etc.

Chipolte would be the exception. They at least buy all of their ingredients from local farmers. They wont add a store unless there is enough local food to support their needs.

That's all fine and dandy, but whatever they do, please leave Taco Bell alone. Love those Mexie Melts.Gonzo wrote:Awesome. Another garbage franchise bites the dust. Clearly, people are seeing the overwhelming advantages of eating at local establishments in a culturally rich college town like Boone.

OG's doing well. Often see customers waiting to be seated. Rumor says LongHorn will take it's place.lillycafe wrote:Does the rumor mean Red Lobster and Olive Garden closing?asu66 wrote:Rumor has it that Wilkesboro is losing Red Lobster.

Re: Boone Ruby Tuesday's closes.
Is IHOP still planning on coming to the old Blockbuster building, or did that fall through? Give me the Sunrise Grill any day- Just Curious.

Re: Boone Ruby Tuesday's closes.
Grandview in Foscoe is still my favorite. Last I heard an IHOP and Zaxbys are both still a go.MAD Doctor wrote:Is IHOP still planning on coming to the old Blockbuster building, or did that fall through? Give me the Sunrise Grill any day- Just Curious.

Re: Boone Ruby Tuesday's closes.
Now I don't know what to do with the dozens of coupons they sent me in the mail. I got more coupons from Ruby Tuesday's in the mail than anything else combined.
Never went there, but it's a crowded restaurant scene. Knights on Main in BR just closed as did a couple other local BR places.
AFAIK, IHOP is going into the former Blockbuster. Zaxby's is going in near the driving range on 105. Chipotle's opened in front of Lowe's Hardware a few weeks ago and Waffle House opened in the late fall across from McDonald's.

Re: Boone Ruby Tuesday's closes.
They closed Biscuitville in N. Wilkesboro last year.
THAT killed me, not many west of 77

Re: Boone Ruby Tuesday's closes.
According to some people's logic they should also close;
Wal-Mart
Kmart
Lowes
Toco bell
Comfort suites
LaQuinta
Sleep inn
Mcdonalds
Hardees
Super 8
BB&T
Holiday inn express
State employees credit union
Harris teeter
Rite aid
Walgreens
And many many more places that make Boone a more enjoyable convenient place to go to school.
Some of you people go wayyyyyyyyyyyyy overboard on everything, even wanting people with jobs to lose them.

Re: Boone Ruby Tuesday's closes.
Some people used to serve on commitees with High Country Host. Some people used to do marketing work in High Country tourism. Some people saw the harm that came to local restaurateurs, the tourist/college town appeal, and the High Country brand when local spots are stong-armed by national franchises with superior resources first hand.AppGrad1 wrote:According to some people's logic they should also close;
