Another New Waukee District

[cyfanatic13]

I don't think it's that bad honestly. The Waukee Pancheros, however, I'm done giving any more chances.

I think this is just company wide. I used to love Panch and I haven’t had a good experience in awhile so I gave up on it

 

[JP4CY]

The best thing at TR hasn’t even been mentioned yet? Or did I miss it?

MILFs on the saddle?

All I hear from people is that the only one worth going to is the one on Jordan Creek Pkwy

Those rolls with the cinnamon butter. I don’t even order off the menu. I just eat those. Super delicious.

You guys need to start calling in to put your name on the list at Texas Roadhouse. We never wait more than 5-10 minutes.

 

[CyCrazy]

Texas Roadhouse is awful. Grill a steak at home, its not hard.

The one in Johnston across from Texas R is great. The one in Waukee is the worst I’ve been to.

Anybody heard if Texas will ever bring back their peanuts or if they’re using the pandemic as an excuse to cut the cost?

 

[CycloneVet]

The Texas Roadhouse in Coralville that we went to (for one time and one time only), I actually thought the food was pretty good for cheap steakhouse fare.

Now, the bro country cranked to 11 and tsunami of rugrats crashing around is an entirely different matter.

It’s loud and extremely close quarters in every Roadhouse restaurant I have been in. Not conducive to an enjoyable meal.

 

[BCClone]

Is it me or is that the worse Bbops you've eaten at? I'm normally a fan but that one isn't the same

Mason city’s was worse

 

[BCClone]

Yes that one too. My burrito doesn't even get bobbed. Bring the restaurants

After you’ve been married for about a year, you get used to not having your burrito bobbed anymore.

Another parking lot with some storefronts

The one in Johnston across from Texas R is great. The one in Waukee is the worst I’ve been to.

Agree, the Johnston one off 86th has always been great for us. The one in Grimes by Wal-Mart is terrible, though.

I know i'm in the minority on this one but these town-sized districts are eyesores and kill towns.

I'm sure these places print money but did any of you see this and go "oh thank god, Texas roadhouse is coming"

If you need a spot to put the big-box stores in, that's one thing, but keep the restaurants and boutiques in a more compact setting and you'll be using urban land much better. Parking isn't as big of an issue as people make it out to be. Even if you have to park "far away in VJ or uptown Ankeny, it's probably about the same as walking across a huge parking lot, and you still have more walkability between stores.

The plat has been announced but no stores name. Was able to get an unreleased overview.

Looks like;

Target
Ross
Sierra
Chick Fil A
Wendy's
Old Navy
Chipotle
Texas Roadhouse

I'm not sure it'd be possible to come up with a more generic list of businesses than that, maybe toss in a Starbucks.

The Starbucks is already there - next to Aldi.

 

[8bitnes]

If what I heard is true, Fareway owns land a mile west of Centennial as well.

After a quick search, that one did not show up on the assessor's site

Ah man now I am craving bbops

I go to the Johnston one - coincidentally right by Texas Roadhouse - fairly regularly. Seems fine to me.

 

[Drew0311]

People still go to Texas Roadhouse?

It’s always packed and probably the biggest steak house there is right now. So yeah.
