I agree with Wild Bill about the mom and pop places. It is a shame to see places close.

Our go to place around the Houston and Galveston area when we lived there was Kelley's. Good food and ample portions.

I'd prefer that they still be open without a 30.06 than open with a 30.06. Maybe that'll teach the rest of them a lesson. ;) :txflag:

when i worked downtown i use to eat there at least one a week (15 yrs ago or so) they were really good back then but have heard they went downhill for some time now
They went downhill over the last few years. That, in combination with what I witnessed firsthand while a very close family friend worked there (business practices, not food safety or anything) I can't say I'm sorry to see the doors locked.

Once upon a time it was a decent meal. Not so much the last few times I tried to eat there.
