    It's a franchisee, they're not going anywhere.

      It's going to be really hard for a Twin Peaks to survive without alcohol sales. The TABC can and will pull their permit for any reason.

        North Texas-based restaurant chain Twin Peaks Monday revoked the franchise status of the Waco location that became a battleground in a brutal biker gang melee that left nine people dead Sunday, the company said in a statement.

          Ya...ok...so if the Patriot Riders showed up, or any other "legit" biking groups, they'd been turned away? And what'd been the back-lash on that?

          I want more evidence of what was known before my BS flag goes down. It's a sucky situation, but how is this the restaurants fault when a bad element shows up?

              PR move, I'm sure. TP has no shortage of people wanting to be franchisees. They can't build them fast enough.

                TABC has suspended their alcohol sales for 7 days. Waco PD has suggested TP take that time to cool off but left it up to TP to do as they want. If the were smart they'd take that suggestion but I don't see helping their PR.


                Edit: I shoulda read the links

                  I dont undertand how this place stays in business. The food is awful and I'm really not that picky when it comes to chain restaurants. Went with a group of 15 and everyone got something different. Not one meal tasted decent.

                  Their alcohol sales must be keeping them open and I will admit, the beer was good.

                    The food is better than most Breastaurants imo. Their chicken fried steak is better than most places, at least they make it fresh in house rather than frying up some frozen shit. I also like the meatloaf, but admittedly, it's the brown mushroom gravy that I like. I hate meatloaf normally.


                    Bikini's, Tilted Kilt, and Hooter's all have fucking terrible food, so the bar isn't set very high. As for how they stay in business? Hot broads in skimpy outfits, flirting for tips is a fool proof business model. It doesn't really matter if the food is shit. Look at the empire Hooter's built on some shitty wings. The margins on alcohol are high as well.

                      It's like Hooters, the food is crappy but the appeal is the scantily clad ladies. Beer and food is bonus.

                        I don't know anyone who goes there for the food. I'm baffled as to why you can't figure out why it still stays packed. Every time I've been there have been chicks prancing around damn near naked. And while not "take home to Mom" material, the average hotness level seemed to be higher than that of Hooters or any of the other successful breastaurants where the food is no better.

                          Did Hooters rebound? I remember the episode of undercover boss a few years back saying sales were slowing.

                          But yeah, I avoid hooters now too. The food has gotten so bad in the last couple of years. They were some what decent 10-15 years ago when I frequented quite a bit.

                            I went to the TP in Bedford a while back. Sat with a group for 15 minutes without ever being approached for a drink order, let alone food. All of the staff were too busy sitting on everyone elses laps. I can go to an actual strip club for that level of service.

                                Apparently. I emailed corporate......maybe I wasn't the only one.





                                It was probably just the construction that closed it.
