Title: New business coming?


jpicker - August 11, 2009 12:10 AM (GMT)
Does anyone know what kind of business is supposed to be going in next to Bobbie Pins Salon.? I have been seeing a sign, next to the highway, that says "Delaines Coming Soon"....just wondered if anyone knows what kind of business this may be... :scratch:

Don't know...also don't know what is going in where the dollar store used to be in the old James' center...noticed people in there the other day.

I have heard that Delaine's will be a take out/drive thru restaurant open for breakfast and lunch only.
Also, something similar to "Chuck E. Cheese" going in at old Dollar Store location.

I heard there's a real general dollar store going in over in cove or something?

How can they put in a drive thru when the store is in the middle of the stores??

All right! Let's all get fat and look sexy, then grab a movie and go home
and set on our lazy arses!

How about an aerobics studio with a salad bar?

I saw on the sign next to the highway that Delaine's will open tomorrow (Monday) at 6 a.m...

Okay, tell us what is good....maybe some of the items on the menu?

electric1 - August 29, 2009 07:38 PM (GMT)
I've had Biscuits and Gravy,Homemade donuts, Monster Cinnamon Roll for breakfast, and Pork Stew for lunch. All were excellent. Burgers are supposed to be very good, from what I hear.

jhmommy - August 29, 2009 08:11 PM (GMT)
I had the donuts and a sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit from there the other morning. Both were very good. The sausage, egg, and cheese are baked right into the biscut...which by the way is delish!!

Haven't tried any of the lunch there yet though. I will one day...

Its just a little concession trailer, I thought it was a restaurant type business with table and chairs. :huh:

I had to re-post these, just in case anyone thinks people are all living in the same reality. :laughing:



I'm sure it's delicious, so I'm not dissing the quality or anything......but all I can say about the 2nd menu is..... thank goodness they're enlarging the medical clinics here....... :har: :laughing:

:thumb: Delaine's donuts and cinnamon rolls are an absolute 11......Can't wait to try other menu options.

Delaine's is simply awesome. Sherry will really take care of you.

joyfulnoise - September 16, 2009 04:23 AM (GMT)
Haven't been on the Forum much lately, so this may have been discussed, but I wonder if Yummie's has closed? When I've been by there, it looks deserted.

jacobym - September 16, 2009 04:55 AM (GMT)
No they are still there I went on sunday and the only complait was that they made the gravy a little floury

Focus - September 16, 2009 03:56 PM (GMT)
Since the Skyline re-opened, Yummies must be hurting pretty badly.
They need to go to the Skyline and see what good service is all about. :thumb:

jpicker - September 16, 2009 10:08 PM (GMT)
Their hours have changed...not sure exactly when they close but after the lunch hour...they are not open at night anymore...

observer - September 16, 2009 10:18 PM (GMT)
Yummies food is barely average, but the place smells of burned grease and bathroom disinfectant. Some vent hoods in the kitchen would be nice. As would a couple of Ionic Breeze air purifiers out front. And they should quit telling everyone “Welcome to Yummies”! Sounds like they’re trying to imitate Waffle House, which they are definitely not!

Skyline Café is as good as ever, maybe even better with more seating. I realize it’s hard to plan for a meal, but jeeze, I went there at 12:30 Sunday and really wanted their lunch special. Before I could order, they erased it from the menu board. So I had breakfast, again. The acoustics in there are terrible, sounds like you‘re in a tiled restroom. I’d sure hate to have to go there for an early breakfast after a big night out with Jose Cuervo!

Delaines donuts are so good that I wanted to call the lady "Mamma". These donuts reminded me of cruising across Texas 40 years ago. Every town it seemed, had a bakery that sold these hugh donuts. Heaven! So good I almost cried!!!

Sure Delaine's is just a consession trailer, but what consessions!

I'm wondering, is someone ever going to post their menu?

Will they take call-in orders? If so, what's their phone number?

What are their business hours?

They have posted a sign that says closed for the winter.

observer - October 29, 2009 03:49 PM (GMT)
What? No way!

I only got to eat there once. And, it was the best durned burger I've had since Dan's Dairy Hut closed.

Maybe they'll re-open until winter actually comes.

Oh well. Here's hoping for an early spring.
