Was wondering why it looked like it was closed when we were downtown for the Moonlight Movie on Wed. night...

Really? I thought it was fantastic myself when I ate there.

Rick Erwin?

We are lucky to have what we have I guess, being a smaller city.

The atmosphere is nice, but I thought the food was so bland and have heard the same opinion form everyone that I've talked to that has been there. I think High Cotton is head and shoulders better than Nantucket, but to each his own.

They are working on the Car wash/Oil change place in Easley on 123 that has been closed for a few months, anyone have any idea if this is opening again?

I think this is good news. The previous management was "unprofessional" and that is putting it mildly.

You're forgetting about:

-Rick Erwin (Rick Erwin's West End Grille and Rick Erwin's Nantucket Seafood)
-Maverick Southern Kitchens (High Cotton)
-Larkin's Restaurants (Larkin's on the River, plus a new offering for the former Hot Dog King coming soon)

Plus other local restauranteurs, both downtown and in the suburbs.

Something is going into a portion of the old Blockbuster in Powdersville. Don't know what though.

I went (to Nantucket) for the first time this week, and was impressed with the food!

The service was OK - by that I mean, it was timely and we were checked on frequently. But the employees seemed younger/less experienced than I would have expected at that type of establishment.
