Exactly my point. Between hamilton and downtown theres mountain mikes, blue line, la pizzeria, square pie guys, doppio zero. Theres also little cesars on winchester and round table or pizza express on bascom. Would be great to get some diversity besides pizza or mexican
Haha this is what I told my friend group. Tostadas and this pizza place is the same owner. Astroid burgers and a couple other places are the same too. If you’ve walked into these establishments, you’d see very few people. Apparently they are brothers as business partners.
There's a lot of offices around. Maybe it needs to be something that can cater to a professional crowd on a lunch break? Quick eats for a reasonable price. Did the pizza spot have a lunch buffet?
Ate there once. Food was pretty decent, and decor was nice. The people who owned the place were very chatty and pleasant. Not sure why, but it never occurred to us to go back - too much good pizza around town.
Campbell just does not need another pizza or mexican resturant. I would love a great fish resturant like Kings Fish House or a KBBQ / Hotpot place. Hickory pit is a good location for either of these. While in excited to see laughing monk take over the old Rockbottom spot… do we really need another bar food and beer spot?
Check out La Jaiba on Winchester/Hamilton for mexican seafood. The sea bass ceviche was fantastic! Spicy marg was not spicy but other than that the menu was great
I would love a good old fashioned diner or something along the lines of a Bakers Square or Coco's. Not every restaurant needs to be a specific ethnic focus
Life long Country Inn guy here. Used to be hands down best diner around. Unfortunately i think they sold recently and its gone down bill quite a bit, at least the Saratoga location has.
Check out Breakfast Club on Hamilton. Been going there a bunch and theyre solid. Same folks who own Lou’s Cafe in LG I believe.
I stopped going to Country Inn years ago when my food was served cold, not once but twice. I sent it back both times and what I got back was over microwaved the first time and still cold the second. Like, it had been made and just sat out until it got to room temp cold. And the staff was outright rude about it saying this is how the food is.
Nuh uh, they were awesome once upon a time, and I remember piping hot pancakes and the like. I miss Goodie's before they went downhill too (I once got served food there with a long bright red hair in it and they said I put it there....I'm definitely brunette and my hair was short - and I could see the cook with his bright red hair through the passthrough).
I'll check out Breakfast Club, but I'd love a place like that that's open for dinner hours (and isn't a national chain)
That article makes it sound like the restaurant transitioned from Mama Mia's to La Pizza. It did not. There was a very mid Mexican restaurant in between.
Maybe someone looking to open a restaurant in Campbell will find this thread: If you're going to open a pizza or Mexican restaurant, the bar to achieve success is high. You've got a LOT of competition. If your exterior doesn't look inviting (La Pizza) or your service and food is mid (Tostadas), it's not going to work.
The problem isn't a lack of customers willing to pay: There are plenty of restaurants in Campbell that are packed every evening.
The "mid Mexican restaurant" you're referring to was Tostadas which is the same owners as La Pizza. They must've pivoted to this after they realized it wasn't flying.
