I still cant believe they gave up all that lunch business to move to a less visible location, but I'm not a business owner, what do I know?

It'll be interesting to see how Tony says the WV location is doing. It's been packed whenever I've been in or past there. And last week I noticed people sitting outside at lunch time.

They are only open for lunch Fri-Sun, but every time I've been in there at night the place has been packed.


Boombozz and The Comfy Cow is too good a 1-2 punch to not succeed.

If so I think they made a good decision. There was a lot of discussion in this thread in January.

Don't forget about White Castle right across the street. I think that might be the plan, a direct assault on the White Castle Empire!

My bet is that someone will get their senses and this location will never be a burger joint. If they make that mistake they'll be gone within a year or two.

Make no mistake, I like Boombozz, their food and I think this is a beautiful restaurant and have always had good experiences there but it's hard to make burgers a destination (I didn't say impossible).

maybe they noticed the bad economy is starting to hit this area like it has so many others... I'd hope they don't scrap the idea all together, as good as the pizza is it would be interesting to see if they could do burgers at the same level.

I'd have to disagree about burgers being difficult to make into a destination...I can think of a half dozen burger spots I've frequented that have no problem bringing in the crowds, even if it means a 45 minute drive and a hour plus wait...don't know of any doing that here.
