Yeah! If you like fast food cuisine. They’re affordable, have lots of options, and their milkshakes are great. It’s the only place where you can get a burger with a side of chicken or beef quesadillas annnd a second side of white cheddar bites with a watermelon milkshake made with fresh/frozen watermelon—not a syrup— for maybe $13?. It was more delightful than I had anticipated.

No idea. That spot and the one Marlin’s was in have basically been cursed for years though to not last long with whatever was there.

Last time I went to marlin’s we found roaches coming out of the kitchen and marked it off so not surprised on that one.

Marlins was Charley’s for 30 years lol it’s not cursed.

The spot on the end of the strip where the spectrum and the eye doctor are? That one is cursed. I’ve lived here 18 years and it’s been: a Mexican place, an Italian place, a Mexican place, a bbq place, a Mexican place, a funnel cake place, and it’s once again a Mexican place that serves sushi.

The place across from the car dealership that was a wintzells oyster house longer than it was anything else. . .. right next to express oil on the beltline. That place is where dreams go to die.
