    New Establishment Downtown???

    Does anyone know what is going to be in the old Bus Stop downtown? It looks like it may be in the process of being renovated into some sort of diner. Can anyone shed some light onto this?

    All I know is what you have already stated. It will be the "Bus Stop Diner"

    The new Bus Stop Diner will sort of be similar to the old Daddy O's that was next to Anthony's and burned down last year.

    It's going to be a '50s style burger joint, but it will also be open for breakfast. I think tentative hours are 6am-9pm Mon-Thurs, 6-10 Fri, 10am-10pm Sat, and 11-2 on Sunday.

    I only know this much because my fiance will be a waitress there. And neither one of us know when the restaurant will open. It was supposed to open last month, but they are behind schedule.

    Hell, I got boxes. I'll even bring them from McKinney to his front door step and help he and his family pack them. I may even rent the U-haul for him.

    The Bus Stop Diner is good. Great food, all American kind of place, reminds me a lot of Daddy-o's. The only problem: the prices. They are a bit steep for college students, I think my fiance' and I spent about $22 for the 2 of us.

    I tell ya, Chili's is doing great now. I pass by quite often and the lot is always packed. I did go by one night when I saw an amazing site, TWO open parking places. Kinda understandable though, it was during a huge storm. Went by at 9:30 last night and is was still packed. Hopefully other restaurants will see the benifits of openning in Ruston.

    Chili's cleared $100,000+ the first two weeks.



    That alone should entice new restaurants.

    My only worry is the other local restaurants. Just hope most of them can survive.

    Not being ugly, but some of them don't deserve to survive if they don't improve their staff, food, service, etc. to be competitive. My hubby and I love to eat at a lot of the local restaurants and did for the 6 years we were at Tech; however, what some of them pass of as "good service" is pitiful. A lot of the local places have gotten complacent because they have never had anything better to compete with; maybe now you will be able to go out to eat on a Sunday or after 9:00 at night.

    With stiff competition comes improved service. Either that, or they fold.
