Boo! I don't care for Toojays. We need a Bob Evans or some other great breakfast place.

I hope this doesn't turn into another cookie cutter square where it's the same restaurants and stores as the other 2.

Agreed, not a big fan of Too Jays either.

Brownwood should not be a clone of LSL. I like Cody's but don't need another one in Brownwood. Same with City Fire.

Glad to see Gator's Dockside and Five Guys in BW. More choices and especially competition would be good for all of us.

I agree with the need for different breakfast places south of 466. There is nothing at Colony except for McDonalds for breakfast. There are lots of possiblilities, Perkins, IHop, Bob Evans, Cracker Barrel or Dunkin Donuts, Burger King depending on your taste in breakfast food.

I love Toojays. Comfort food and not expensive.

I may be just too easy to please.

My read is that successful and well run eateries will expand here because they know how to stay afloat and please this population.

Perhaps those who have more refined restaurant needs are in the minority. That has been suggested. Another thing too for many of the folks who are three month residents, they have a more "vacation" feel and for the year 'rounders...we like tried and true and not too expensive as many dine out very frequently.

Just a thought. Half brisket sandwich and cabbage vegetable soup. Yum.

Go Toojays!

Agreed! We haven't been to TooJays but a few times, and I have to say that I was very happy with the breakfast I had there. On the other hand, I do have to say that my favorite place is Gracie's Bistro just off 466!

Maybe if there is another one in Brownwood...which I would definitely go to because I really like the food...you won't have to wait in a line for 15 or 20 minutes and then wait for another 20 minutes for your food. That is one restaurant that I would be happy for them to build another.

I believe the Subway in Colony has breakfast sandwiches.

Now that's funny.

I like Too Jays. I can get to either Spanish Springs or Lake Sumter Landing with ease but Brownwood is not on my radar yet. I think they will do well there.

BTW, Gracie, their brisket sandwich is one of my favorites too. They are not stingy with the brisket.
