Red Robin coming to Pier park

I'm so there for a Borders opening.

and Borders is bringing in yet another coffee shop.

We have a lot of Red Robins here in the Midwest - it's really nothing special. Please support your independent restaurants - they need your business to stay in business!

Isn't Red Robins a burger place? If it is, why would they put in a competing fast food burger joint with 5 Guys?

It's not "fast food". It's a sit down casual place.

we have one here. It's not bad.

Okay, then...why would Pier Park put in another "sit down casual" burger place?

But it's gonna be hard to beat Five Guys.

I'm holding my breath and hoping...

Most of the Borders that I've visited had much better CD/DVD sections than Barnes & Noble. Hoping that's still the case, cause I'm ready.

Of course, I'll still buy regularly at Sundog, as I always have.

Here, here! How right you are on both counts, Nancy.

Amen! Just say no to chain restaurants!

We so need an ordinance on 30A. Starbucks is a harbinger...

I'm soooo loving Pier Park. Of course I always support our locals but it's nice to have some variety for mid priced restaurants too. I Love the Hofbrau Haus. About the best vegetarian dishes around. most of our locals always accomodate me quite graciously but that spaetzel stuff is out of this world! MMMMMM

Anyway, just thankful that we won't have to be driving 40 minutes for shopping. As long as they stay off 30A, I'm loving it.

Starbucks isn't the only one! Subway, Another Broken Egg.......

Fresh market opening??? Where???? LabLady bought center cut filet mignon for my birthday from Fresh Market and they were the best steak I have EVER eaten!!!! How cool it would be if there is one that you don't have to drive towards Destin to get to it!

Red Robins to open soon

Red Robins is to open soon. They have the signs up and the paper off the windows. Borders has been open for months. Still no word yet on the Fresh Market. I wouldn't be surprised if they scraped the idea of the Fresh Market. Olive Garden has been open for months too.
Surprised nobody hasn't posted on this subject since May, 2008. Pier Park is a great destination. No need to drive 50 miles to Destin for a decent store or restaurant.

I emailed the person sending me Pier Park emails about Fresh Market. They said "Cannot commit right now, discussions are on going." I talked to some Simon employees about Fresh market and they told me that the building was built to be a grocery store with all the infrastructure in place. They wont put anything else there because of the money spent. I also heard that there are 2 big parcels across from the theater and they are looking for family entertainment venues. He mentioned a few places that theyve had discussions with, Nascar cafe, Dave and Busters, ESPN Zone and even a high end bowling alley.

None indeed. Got all the good restaurants you need right here on 30A!

OK, I still drive to Jambone and for some Mexican, but that's it.

or - you can have a burger cooked to order that began as a whole primal cut of brisket and sirloin and chuck from all natural harris ranch beef - hand cut with an actual knife by a real human actually here at jambone and then fed into a grinder that is set up in the walk-in cooler so as to always maintain its 33 degree temperature so as to not lose its fatty bloom - hand weighed and pattied also in the walk-in by an actual human - grilled when ordered and not pressed down so as to not lose its sexy fattiness and juiciness - you wont get mad cow - you wont eat organs or wheat or filler or testicles or ears or hooves - you wont get e coli and you also get french fries and its only 7.95 and its only 1 mile north of the beach in the center of south walton county.....

and thanks to all you boners out there for all of your loyal support of this place and all the other great establishments that cook great food and actually smile at you when served - all along our beautiful coastline.

mwah!!!

i love you all...

You forgot to mention that you can also have some good beer w/ your burger!

No comparison whatsoever between a Red Robin and a real restaurant w/ decent food.

Every few months I email people about the Pier Park Fresh Market. There is a site pcbdaily.com that gives good Pier Park updates. Anyway, I feel like I've been blown off when I now inquire. You use to be able to go on the Fresh Market website and see that one was opening in PCB, but now, it's no longer listed. Personally, I think it STINKS! I LOVE that place but hate going all the way to Destin........ I'd take anything, Whole Foods, Trader Joes or Fresh Market........ No one will come right out and say they've backed out, so who knows.

or ... cooked to order ... hand cut ... fed into a grinder ... hand weighed and pattied ... grilled when ordered .... in the center of south walton county.....

You've got our vote, Mr. Boner! We've actually had some pretty good burgers at Red Robin in other locales, but you make a compelling case for "think global / eat local". And your burgers truly are delicious.

JamBone rocks.

Yes Jambone. the burgers and hot dogs are good, but please, please, please, stop your cooks from burning the buns! Yuck!

Bummer on the burned buns. When done correctly, brushed with butter, olive oil, and a hint of garlic, toasted to (hopefully) perfection, wouldn't you agree that they really make the sandwich?
