Ambiance makes all the difference. The food at both locations was EXACTLY the same, but the WM location just never quite had what it took. I went to WM as often as possible and hate that it did not make it. They hung on the longest among local eateries there. Locals just can't make it on the interstate strip.Originally Posted by Dawgpix
aint that the truth. did always wonder if the walls once were white and that color is from all the smoke over the up'teen years its been open
went to the wm mohawk once right after it opened and the menu was entirely fried. Did they add to it? Because i thought i remembered the other one having plenty that was not fried.
Exact same menu.
Chou, I heard one time from an inspector that the Monroe Mowhawk was the cleanest restaurant in town. The nastiest restaurant was a place we used to have lunch at every Friday.:icon_wink:
Rule of thumb...if the bathroom is nasty, the kitchen is nasty.
I really liked 5 Guys' fries, but thought the burger was pretty mediocre for what you pay. I've only eaten at In 'n Out once, but was very unimpressed.
I have never eaten at either Mohawk, but I do know that being a "classic" can carry a mediocre restaurant. In Savannah there is a chain of locally owned restaurants that is, on its best day, mediocre, yet it continues to thrive and even open new locations.
I think what killed the West Monroe one is that fact if you didn't know it was back there you would simply forget about it. Plus you can't replicate that old feel of the one in Monroe.
Agree on both counts. Out of sight, out of mind.
Does anyone know if McAlister's has opened yet at Tech?
Does anyone know what is going to be at the NE corner of Farmerville Highway and Burgessville Road north of Pinton's at the rediight? I've heard a "trailer park" or a drugstore.
LOLI can assure you that it will not be a trailer park. Drugstore -- maybe. I could see that happening.
Do you really think Karl and the rest of the developers who are so heavily invested in that stretch would go for a trailer park? I sure wouldn't.
No, I would hope they wouldn't let a trailer park go there, but crazy things happen sometimes. I did look to see where the city limits are, and that is inside, so surely they won't let them put a trailer park there. If it is one, surely it'll be very upscale, if there is such a thing (sorry to any of you who may live in one). All we need on that busy corner is 10 million residents coming and going all the time. If it's a drugstore, I'm sure Fred's will be pleased.
I've been wondering the same. That piece of land it a lot larger than it looked before with the houses and trees. I'm glad all that is being built there, because it's only 2 minutes from my house.
Well, it makes more sense that it is a drugstore, you have the new Texaco/Arby's about to launch on the sw corner, the FNB branch/Eskimoe's/ Fox's pizza and the "Malone Towne Center" on the nw corner...I'm thinkin' NO trailer park there.
I heard CVS drugstore was a done deal.
Might as well put a trailer park in Malone's place at the rate it's going. Will they ever get started on that place?LOL
