When I first looked at your post, I thought, Oh Boy Whataburger. That's the one thing I missed from when I was in Pensacola. They're out of Texas I believe, I don't know why they don't expand this way.

No more burger joints--can't tell one from another without a score card--how about a real steak house, a realItalian restaurant , areal German restaurant --like the Willow Tree in Sanford

I don't think Uno's would be a good idea for that location because of their business history. In 2010 they filed chapter 11 and closed 16 stores at that time. All the ones in Baltimore where I lived at that time closed. I remember they had a health scare similar to what Chipolte's has been going through.

What caught my attention is in the old Uno location in Baltimore where I use to live, Miller's Ale House is moving in. It's a sports bar chain out of Orlando with 83 locations. With their Orlando proximity and the size of the building, that sounds like a good idea for that location.

We really don’t have a say on what goes in. A true coney would make my day, but space is too big.

I totally agree. Once was enough for me. I could get past the food but not being able to carry on a conversation at the table and having to wear earplugs the entire dinner was enough for me never to go back. I also felt this way about Riccardo's. They actually put in soundproofing and it made such a difference.

When Fieri's served warm beer, I knew it was destined to fail!

Expensive low quality food will never succeed. Ditto on the sound.

UNO's would be a good choice said this wannabee.

Miller's Ale House could work. I've been to their location in Schaumburg, IL near my home.

I wouldn't mind them either. Something different.

Sumter Landing could use a good Mexican restaurant. i.e. On The Border.

We have too many Mexican, Chinese and Italian restaurants now. Why do we need another?

How about German or a British or Irish Pub ?

Indian, looks like the Mexican restaurant that took over where Crispers was--may be the next one to go, especially with the rave reception given to Las Brisas

A really good much more authentic Mexican Restaurant should be a hit. Add a Margarita to rave about. Que fantástico.
