I have eaten at both of them. When I ate at the one at SouthPoint it was far better than the one at Brier Creek. I ate at the one at Brier Creek and the food was absolutely horrible, and the service was the worse ever. I loved the apple pie deserts they had, I am sad to see it go. Hope something new comes in it place and not another franchise of an existing eatery we already have.
I was curious what happened to Johnny Carino's as well. I ate at one Johnny Carino's in Charlotte a few years ago and swore to never eat at another one.
Anyway, I looked up KBM Properties and they have the site listed for sale on their website. It shows four buildings for retail/restaurant use.

Great info! I visited Carino's once and didn't really care for it, but I'll visit BWW quite frequently (I live a mile away).
Yes, I also heard that the people who own the land figured they could fit two businesses in there instead of just the one and increase their revenue. I went there once, and that was enough for me. I hope that they put something worthwhile there.
Two businesses? But what about parking? There may not be enough parking to make having two places there possible. As it is every since the RACK went in over on that side you can never find a parking spot.
