I stand corrected ... I know that they left the original location on 441 open for a while after the one on 17th opened and I had understood that they would continue to do so .... guess not. Too bad as it was close for a lot of small biz owners I know in the downtown / square area of Ocala.

I would love to see a New Orleans style restaurant like Harry's in Ocala. A French Bistro would also be fabulous! Love Bonifay and Evans Prairie so I have really high hopes for this place too!

I head its suppose to be a steak house called, "Bonifay's"

He already has a restaurant called Bonifay.

I second this. And maybe a Ninfa's Mexican Restaurant.

Rumor has it that same owner of Evans P and Bonifay running it...? True or not?

Read the other 46 posts..........mentioned before. Thats where the rumor started.

Yes, Fred from Bonifay, Evan's Prairie and Scooples is taking it over. He will start doing some remodeling soon.

How about a Miller's Ale House.

Great food, low price , excellent bar.

What else would TV need ?

Ain't happening.

Off post but was told at the Blood Drive Saturday there's a Mojo's coming to Brownwood Square.

I have heard the same ... from a reliable source.

So, for those of us who are not famliar with Mojo's....please tell us what to expect. Googling Mojo's bring up several choices: hamburgers, BBQ, etc. Thanks

I'm up here in the north lurking from 0 degree weather. So my question is, what would the TGIFriday's look like right now if I were to drive by :shrug:. Is there nothing there giving a clue as to what it may be. I'm surprised it's not open or going to be open VERY soon to get the in season income.

BS Beef, I think the place just looks empty. That location never matched the caliber of the TGI Fridays at Kenny and Henderson. It was our regular Friday night dining spot with friends.

They have great wings and is a locally owned business. The owner is a community minded guy that gives generously to kid's activities. His brother has a food truck in Miami that was featured on one of those food channels. Rondo, the owner, is a class act. If the rumor about Brownwood is true, TV will be truly blessed with his presence.

Thank you! :bigbow:

Haaa!!! Jojo that's really a fun stroll down memory lane. Not sure when you saw Kenny & Henderson lately but you wouldn't recognize it if it's been over a year or 2. That makes me think I should root for a Max and Erma's going in that spot :)

It is gonna be an all American eatery..I talked to the owner and he said he doesn't know where the rumor of the steakhouse started but it is not gonna be one. He still has not come up with a name but will be ready in February

With a nice variety menu. Looking forward to it ! :pepper2:

I don't mean to be skeptical but that doesn't make any sense. How could you not even have a name at this point but you're somehow going to be open in February :shrug:

Please no Gold Mashed !!!!!!!

There a few name choices, they just have to decide which one.

Sports bar...Evans prarie owners

Definitely not a sports bar

How do you know it will something different, if you do not know what it is?

Per Rondo.....Sumter Landing! I was shocked but he says they are starting there first.

I was told that the owners of Evans were outbid by others. They still might get it but it's up in the air at this time.

Hope they soundproof the ceiling so you can have a dinner conversation without YELLING!!!!

Talk about hi-jacking a thread!!! The thread was derailed and hi-jacked. Maybe we need a sky marshal on this forum.

:icon_hungry: Ok it's February. Has anyone been by recently. It has to be taking shape. I've got to believe they will do what ever they can to get opened ASAP so as to catch as much of "the season" as possible.

Bonnie any help/updates. After reading several posts on the topic I've put my trust in your camp. :D

Here is a rumor thread.

Bonnie - any more hints?

She doesn't have any idea!

Skip

Just got back from a cruise. The word is it will be 1 - 2 months before a decision is made as to who will get the restaurant.

it WAS going to be a sport bars....then a steak house....but problems with the papers...so NOTHING so far.....the rent is crazy....sad it is empty!!!!!

The fact that nothing has happened yet has nothing to do with the cost of rent.
