Whitey's......sad

Recommended Posts

My family and I made it back to GF for homecoming last year. We had not been back since before the flood. I spent most of the 80's and part of the 90's knocking em back at whiteys. We where pretty disappointed with the two meals we had at whiteys during the visit. The food wasn't very good, and the service was terrible. In part, I blame the magnetic flux lines emanating from the horseshoe bar. They installed the bar 90 degrees out of alignment after the flood, and the entire universe has been screwed up ever since.

I hope they reopen whiteys, but they need to go back to the old menu and of course, rotate the bar if they want to succeed.

Going back to the old menu will not fix what was wrong.

In case you missed it Olive Garden applied to the city council for a alcohol permit, but city law would need to be changed. It currently says liquor licenses need to be 300 feet apart. The olive garden would be too close to Grizzlys.

Interesting to note that a Johnny Carinos (who many says might actually be better than the Olive Garden) actually opened in Bismarck before the Olive Garden did.

I was wondering the same thing. I suppose it has something to do with how the 300 feet is measured. Like the City Council will not change the ordinance? Denying Olive Garden a license would get their heads chopped off. Though myself I do not see the attraction of Olive Garden. Never ate at one and never will eat at one.

How can you say in one sentence you don't see the attraction and then the next that you've never tried it??? I'm not saying it's good or bad, but to have an opinion you better have tried it.

As if I have not heard people whining for years about getting an Olive Garden. I do not need to eat mass produced Italian food to know that it is garbage. If I am going to eat Italian food this is where I will eat.

Do these look anything like mass produced versions of Italian food to you? I am not a chain restaurant eater at all. For a real nice dinner here is my favorite (just ate there last Tuesday night in fact) http://www.rosemarysrestaurant.com/

Simply, I am a snob when it comes to dining.

Looks like GF and Olive Garden will "have to do" for me. :D

Its close but I think it passes. There is a lot there available for sale (I believe) so that's the buffer. But in other words I guess that restaurant couldn't have a liquor license. stupid.

Where as Olive Garden and Grizzly's would be back to back.

Mine was in the wall behind plexiglass when the building went down. Would guess it was hauled out to a dump or buried in a hole on site.

I retrieved mine the year before it was shut down. Have it up on my fireplace mantle. People look at it and say, "wtf is that up there for?"

:D

Unless it is real Italian or Mexican instead of the garbage around here that passes for it.

You spend your money watching hockey and I spend mine traveling around. Did you check out their menus even?
