Rent was 10k a month, combo that with a poorly performing a/c.... No thanks
Most mention good food at reasonable prices and the math will not work there

Would love to see Dewey Destin's come east but they like water views, maybe one of the lakes...

That's a lot of hamburgers. That's 22 hamburgers a day at $15..... I was thinking about a $6 four ounce burger, $9 for a double stack, and $12 for a triple stack....Still lots of burgers.

Please no Subways.

Thai food would be great!

Think we have plenty of burger, pizza, fried fish, and sushi places.

Wow, ten grand a month! Does the landlord think he is in Seaside/Water Color?!! Wonder what the landlord is thinking now after losing two quality tenants within a few months? No, make that three.... include the Smiling Fish. Wasn't it in the same location?

really?

The interior needs serious work too.

Has a funny layout also.Doubt it could be split up into smaller(cheaper) spaces. That said if you are a really good seafood chef who can cook.. The really good places having 1 - 2 hour waits doing 75 covers @$25.00 is almost $2,000.00/day excluding boozes in season. I bet THE right place could work. Plus bad A/c and decor is landlords problems to fix before a lease is signed.

A place like this in Pcola would work - http://fivesistersbluescafe.com

An upscale meat and three / soul food place with lots of character. The food is excellent and the decor and music is a draw. It would do plenty of business in summer and locals would fill it up in off season. Not sure how much a plate would need to be though since I know nothing about restaurant business. But if liquor license comes with it then could do some dinner live blues shows.

Thai, japanese, tex mex all would work.

Sammy's East. One drunk business man with a credit card would cover the $10,000 rent.
