I too will be interested to see what takes that spot over. Someone on Nextdoor is clamoring for an Applebee's! What is wrong with people?
I would like to see a Good Pizza Joint...


Actually, good American fare would work for me.

Ugh please no. If I wanted microwave reheated vomit thrown onto a plate I'd go dig in a dumpster behind Walmart for discarded tv dinners. Applebee's is a dying breed of restaurant that couldn't adapt to changing clientele and gave up.

Cary needs a GOOD Irish Pub. Doherty's is a great one, but there is room for another. (I love Doherty's especially for their food). I'd like to see something akin to Tir na Nog was in Raleigh, with a vibrant scene and a decent venue for live music. Their food was alright, but there has been a void in the area with the scene they had.

Bring on the Craic

Nah. It sounds like Bar Louie every night. (which is why we never go there anymore.)

Ugh, agree. DD keeps trying to get me to take her there and I keep telling her she's not missing anything.

That's what First Watch in the Bradford is like. I've no interest in trying to shout while I'm eating. That's not even a bar, heck it's not even open for dinner!

Went here once....4 out of the 6 folks I went with got sick afterwards (fortunately my stomach is made of Iron so I was one of the lucky 2). Food tasted fine but was over priced and the service was painfully slow. This was 2 years ago and I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did.

I'm fine with more value chain
Logan's, Texas Roadhouse, Olive Garden...

I honestly think a Cheddar's would do well here.
