It was doing well while maintained but then the owner obviously wanted the place vacated so stopped maintaining and went downhill.

X.R. Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 What sucks is that row of food places and such just across the bridge just needs to hold on another year and then they'll have new people moving in here, the Allen Harrison place deeper in the museum area, and then the tower that will be opening just down the road. I know it will be hard though. Grand Prize will be busier than ever with this development, there goes our favorite hole in the wall. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KinkaidAlum Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 I grew up over in tanglewood off of Woodway but we went to church at Palmer in Hermann Park. Every Sunday meant Butera's or Felix's for lunch. I am old. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kam’s AKA Bamboo has terrible food. No idea how they stay in business. I would say so, in relation to GP. Fridays and Saturdays it would get busier earlier, although during the week when I went its always been pretty lowkey even after. yeah a friend went to Bamboo thinking it was the Vietnamese place with the great peking duck (it is certainly not that place) and was like "uhhh this is v mediocre." But, I enjoy BB lemons hamburgers (tho they are temp closed) and Nippon is enjoyable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clutchcity94 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) So is this building going to be 9 stories or 15? I’ve read conflicting reports. I’m willing to bet if this development ends up a success, we’ll see a similar development along the east side Montrose Blvd directly north of the bridge. How’s that for symmetry?!
