You know what we need is another "sports bar"...
never enough of those...
BJ's seems to still have a crowd... and when I've gone there it seems to be 3 deep by the bar... haven't been there in a couple of months.. how are they doing with Ruby Tuesday next door...?

Never been a fan. Ate at the one here once, Foster City twice.
Funny story: Years ago, I went to the Foster City location for happy hour. It was about 4pm, and we sat at one of the tables kind of above the bar's dance floor, about 10 feet from the bar.
Biz was pretty slow, and a small group of employees stood at the end of the bar about 8 feet from me, laughing and talking. After about 10 minutes of being ignored, I leaned over the railing and said, "Excuse me, we'd like to order something."
One of the waitresses said, "That section's closed!"

The Folsom Black Angus had some of the worst service in the chain.

The bartender at BJ's told me Ruby Tue would close within 5 months. I think we heard this before but I would not doubt that it will happen.
BJ's is always busy. I guess medicore food + cool atmosphere is the winning combo here.

I was at BJ's last Thursday evening for dinner. Walked right in after 6PM and got a big table. I never saw a line grow by the door and there always seemed to be a few empty seats. WHile I don't think they are struggling the crowds are definately down...

What is sad is to see all the businesses close. It's not so much about loosing Black Angus or Mervyn's it's about seeing how bad the economy is that all these businesses have to close up.

good news - there's going to be a great new steak house coming to old town in the future. Mylo has more info about it
Does anyone know where in Oldtown this steakhouse will be located? Also is it the steakhouse that has a location in Chico? I can't remember the name but it was very good food and not chain related.

Absolutely. Whether one likes or hates a business, when it goes under it takes a major hit on the community with vacant buildings, out of work employees and vendors losing a customer and revenue source. It all trickles down into other parts of the community.

Thanks Stevethedad !! I could not remember the name, but I have eaten at the Chico location. Hosnest to goodness best darn steak around !!! They feature Prime Dry Aged Beef, only available at Ruthschris or Mortons. And did you notice the pricing? not a bargain deal, but a very fair price for exceptional quality.... If anyone cares to notice a 1lb. baked potato comes with the meal... $8.95 extra at the other restaurants. This is a place I can really sink my teeth into... hehe
