Chofa's Bar And Grill

Best I can tell this place is closed down again.  I have never been here, just drive by.

I drove by tonight (a Thursday)@ 6pm and it sure looks like the place is out of business.  The TV's were still on the porch tho, it looks like it just closed down.  Not a light on or any sign of life there.  We tried it twice since it opened, place looked great but was pretty much non functional.

Just not good.

My first experience was right after they opened and was an absolute nightmare.  I gave them time to get their stuff together because I really did want them to succeed (I liked the concept and thought Conroe needed a sports bar like this).  After they changed management, I thought it was a good time to try lunch there again.

Though the service did make the jump from atrocious to just poor, nothing else progressed.  Their menu is plain and so is the actual food.  The offerings are clearly just reheated food off of a distribution truck.  The burger patty for instance, tastes like it came straight out of the box, was heated up with no seasoning or other preparation and delivered to the table on a bun.

As mentioned previously, the service is poor.  The waitresses seem very preoccupied even in a dead restaurant.  Refills are a serious imposition.

The interior is cool.  The owner obviously had an idea that he wanted to pursue.  He dumped a lot of money into making a cool sports bar and grill.  You need more than money and an idea to run a successful business though.  This place needs improvement in almost every other way.

It may be a cool place for drinks and I might not be so hard on them if they weren't advertised as a restaurant.  Just because you pour drinks doesn't mean everything else has to suck.  There are plenty of sports bars serving good food with good service.  Unfortunately it's just a bit further of a drive to them for me.
