I mean, they also did Six26 which is good. They seem to be able to change their style up. Ashford is their Hoboken bro bar. I’ll give this a chance. It’s better than what was there !

Yeah, everyone coming off the PATH just craves southern BBQ. What a miserable use of the space. People here do not care about BBQ. This is prime real estate that again is going to be mishandled and end up closing.

More country bros who have never been south of Atlantic City, just what we need...

Prime real estate that hasn’t succeeded in a decade though. At least it’s something “different”.
BromioKalen t1_iv3vkzu wrote
Agreed! See how it does. I like different stuff around DT, but this just does not seem to jive with our locals. I can imagine a million different things for this space. But what do I know....

the ghost of Whole Foods haunts down town.

Listen it’s better than what it was. I’m no Ashford fan but they are light years better as an operator compared to what was here prior

How the fuck are they snatching up so many spots?

What's wrong with BBQ? Been dying for a place besides Hamilton Pork for BBQ. However, I just know this place will just be as cheap as it can possibly be when it comes to BBQ
BromioKalen t1_iv43eox wrote
LOL, we will see how it does. I remember when there was nothing but Dunkin Donuts there on the corner, so I guess anything is better than nothing.

I might be talking out of my ass, but BBQ right off the PATH and that space... we can do better like a grocery store, or something better that fits the needs of our community. I have no idea what the zoning rules are for that space, but disappointing to see something go in there that I already know will fail in a year or two. That space is doomed by people who cannot manage it and market it well. If I had the money and backing, I would take out that entire corner and put in a big market. Huge supermarket there would be good. We only have sprove, key foods, shop rite, and nothing else in the area. Just my crazy idea, but would be better than a BBQ joint

Been saying they should make a Parisian cafe right there. It would be amazing. Grabbing coffee right before going on the path

A super market with no parking, literally 75 second walk from Sprove or oliva, two more supermarket with no parking.

It doesn't exist yet, so how is it better? 🤔
DontBeEvil1 t1_iv4t4ab wrote
🤔 Since you speak for all people, I'm curious to know exactly what we want in that prime real estate. Please enlighten...
DontBeEvil1 t1_iv4te2u wrote
Um...a supermarket (with no parking and not easily accessible by car) directly across from the Farmers Market, next door to a 24 hour pharmacy, steps away from a gourmet grocery store, and a short walk from 5 other supermarkets, and a Wholesale club, would definitely not be the best use of that space. 🤔
DontBeEvil1 t1_iv4tpnz wrote
Lol because now one certainly can't grab coffee right before getting on the PATH.

This reads like AI. Take some risks once in a while and explore some new spots. Live in your community you might like it. Go somewhere “old” for chrissakes you sound like you love strip malls

I don’t mind BBQ but I know this BBQ is either going to be good and expensive, or bad and expensive. So it’s not going to be an every day place.
I agree the space would be better served with something similar to a Balthazar Bakery that served coffee, lunch sandwiches, light dinner fare.

Even if the bar is low, the comment doesn't make sense. Unless it was made from the future.

Well, I am happy a BBQ restaurant is opening. We don't have very many of those.

That space is a couple thousand square feet. It’s a little more than an average single family home.
There are Wawa’s bigger than it.

When I heard that I was skeptical at first. BUT as a chef I can tell you they got the same chef who did Blue Smoke in Manhattan. For those of you who may not know, Blue Smoke was one of the first BBQ joints in Manhattan almost 15 years ago, and paved the way for many more GOOD bbq places. Emphasis on being good. There use to be a lot of trash bbq places. He showed us what great bbq is. So I'm excited.

Who knows but the location of your dads nut doesnt make you more important lol.
The majority of the city is transplants. Half were transplanted from other countries.
Its always a dumb thing to say.
But yea im im a transplant.
If anything transplants should matter more since we have more money and property
