Nick's has been drawing in people from all around including the beach for many years. Folks like the location, the ambiance, and the food is good. Also, he holds a number of events outside that draw in hundreds of fun seekers.

His market is different than the Outpost and Black Creek Lodge.
You're right - and Nick's prices used to be a lot lower than beach prices. Not so much any more.

I guess what I was trying to say is there is no reason why other places in Freeport can't have the same market if they are good enough. A family-friendly basic seafood joint on 331 would do very well. It might be a Red Lobster first though. Bayou Bill's or Goatfeather's or somebody should be doing it. I heard Goatfeather's sold?

I miss Reddick's and the other similar place nearby I forget the name but I remember it was even better.

We have several small decent restaurants up here but folks keep hoping for something like a larger steak/seafood restaurant. We don't have the population, but one on 331 near I-10 might work since development will be in full swing before long and the tourist traffic increases to flood you folks in the south. Loss of McLains Family Steakhouse buffet was a real blow to the working class around here.
