Boulevard Grill is horrible at the moment. Understaffed, pretty much the same menu that Paddy O Quigley's had. May go back in 6 months or so when hopefully they have their crap together.

Has anyone else been here? I have a friend in town that's staying at the Four Points so we're watching the game there tonight. This was far from my first choice, but he seemed excited about it so I'm just going with it.

And what's their beer sitch? Do they just have Blvd products on tap, or is it a wider selection?

Yes, I think it's just Blvd on tap and a variety of bottles

Do not recommend Blvd Grill. The place was empty and the waitress still only came by about every 30 minutes...It took almost 10 minutes to get my first beer ordered.

Did not eat, but my friends that did said it was pretty meh. Apparently they've already replaced their chef?

And seven was right... No CL on tap  :curse:

Overall, I give my experience there a 2.3/7

The most surprising part was that it still looks exactly like PaddyO's. They didn't remodel anything. Pretty sure the menu was the same too, just swapped some clip art.

this is a good point and one that i can't disagree w/. it's just weird how bad it still is. like you said though, probably should've been expected.

Not for several more months... I think their goal is by the end of the year.

Have seen preliminary concepts for different retail/restaurant combo layouts on the carwash property  at 12th & Bluemont.

looks like the anchor tenant is Potbelly Sandwich shop...if you a KC'er you might have noticed one in the Plaza & a new one near College & Metcalf...depending on layout, would be Potbelly and possibly 2-3 adjacent tenant finish small retail stores.

Potbelly sounds a lot like another sandwich shop in Aggieville

Potbelly is fine, I guess. Nothing special. BUT! I love the zeal of this new poster. And the screen name.   :drool:

I was trying to think what I would want to see in aggieville that it doesn't have.

some sammie shop is not what I was hoping for.

I would like to see a middle eastern kebab type place I think.
