Faux brick siding going up on Culver's. I'm still hedging that Culver's is going to be open before the hotel. 

They have been busy poking pipes under 13 to Culver's. Now to pour the lot and outfit the store and they are ready to open. Target was August, I believe they will make it.

 

Still need a Chic-Fil-A in the Carbondale-Marion area!

Pretty surprised there isn't one.  There's the one in the Student Center but I think a standalone store in Carbondale or Marion would do incredibly well.

Still shocked with Chic-Fil-A's christian values they are allowed in the student center... We need a free standing restaurant, a coworker drives across town, pays to park and walks in the Student center for his Chic-Fil-A fix, I am not that dedicated.

Culver's is getting close, parking lot poured, signs up, drive through sign up and trashcans in the parking lot.  I think they are going to make their August opening.

We've got a Culver's in my town.  We've got a Buffalo Wild Wings but the food is kind of meh...They are both ok but nothing to write home about.  Even Wendy's is circling the drain the last 10 years or so.  

 

I'd rather have a Popeye's, Chichfillet, and/or Hooter's for my town and Cdale.  Hooter's must do an insane level of carryout and deliver business as the kitchen in the Joliet store is always hopping.

We've got a Culver's in my town. (snipped)

Last week we Drove all around the Midwest. Every time we passed a Culver's sign my wife would say, "They've got the best burgers." Finally on the way back from K.C. we stopped at a Culver's...she ordered a fish sandwich...

They used to have a nice cod sandwich.

I think the Fish Sandwich at Culver's is really good for a fast food place. I love the crinkle fries too.   

I'm with the majority that Carbondale needs a Chic-fil-A.  I've probably only been there about 5 times my whole life, but I loved it every time.

Carbondale Popeye's is solid since management change, I have coworkers who average daily(most are once a week, but over my 40 coworkers someone eats there daily)

(premanagement change a coworker actually saw employees hiding when he tried to order through the drive through.)

only 5 times total, I believe on our trip to Florida we hit 4 different Chic-Fil-A's in one day...  (wife for tea, kids for chicken.)

Seasoning Bistro on the Square in Benton, is outstanding. Never had a bad meal or service. Menu is not large, but it more than makes up for it in quality and taste. Highly recommend.

Yes, my wife is related to the owner, Their specials are typically very well done too.

The Bonz Fire Grill in Benton has been very good too.

A new restaurant coming to Carbondale. Freddy's Frozen Custard and Steakburgers. It will be across the street from Krogers.  Sounds a lot like Culvers which is open now.

I ate at one a few weeks ago, very good burgers. Somewhere between Steak n Shake and Culver’s. Big open kitchen and very busy when I was there.

Freddy's is awesome.  This is a really good get for Carbondale.  Love their fry sauce.  Any idea where this is going to be located?
