Future Central GTG suggestions...

This thread is for a possible FUTURE GTG. Keller's is still GO for tonight. ;)

This week's GTG thread pointed out that we ought to figure out an alternative location that's friendlier to the Westies of our bunch. In the past, we've gone as far west as Angelo's in FW, but there has to be something suitable in between Nevada and Mineral Wells...

It's hard to beat Keller's for the combination of cars, beer, burgers, and cheap - but even I wouldn't mind a change of pace now and then. I think the majority of us are East Siders, but maybe we could shift west once a month, or once every other month to see how the other half lives. So, let's hear it... throw out your suggestions and maybe we can turn it into a poll over the next few days. Here's a few previously-used venues to get you started:

Twin Peaks - Lewisville
Wilhoite's - Grapevine
Palio's Pizza - Colleyville
Angelo's - Fort Worth

Dig in...

TWIN peaks gets my vote it seems to be more centralized and they hav e good scenery :). Other than that I'm not really familiar enough with this area to get a really good suggestion in.

twin peaks sounds good to me.

One more thing... as for timing, maybe we could plan ahead and make it a weekend GTG. Any thoughts?

Lewisville or Grapevine gets my vote. Peaks has better parking and they have a porch on that side of the building.

Any night is better than Wednesday for me.

I am not too much into sitting around a table drinking, so I would rather find a drive-up, like Keller's. I am not aware of any closer to the west side.

There used to be a east side get together in NRH at a decent pizza joint that I though was pretty good.

I think you're thinking of Palio's in Colleyville. (Above in Rick's list)

TP in Lewisville sounds good

We could always just hit a Sonic possibly. IIRC there's a Sonic in Plano that hosts a bike night every week. Maybe some sonic in the NRH or Lewisville area would do the same.

I recall a good meet at the Sonic in grapevine many moons ago.

I work in NRH so that's always good for me. :) Grapevine would be good for me as well.

It's always fun to invade a Sonic.

Lewisville still has a wed night meet so I'm sure we could go over there on another night. They have a large parking lot right beside the business. You would have to walk over to get your food though because they will not come over to the empty lot. With that said TP still gets my vote.

I would be down with the Grapevine Sonic.

Since trickyrix posted a few places I thought I'd mention that there is a Palio's in Grapevine as well. Much easier to get to than the one in Colleyville and they have a big outdoor patio next to the parking lot that will be open starting next week. BYOB.

That sounds pretty cool... as I remember, they had great pizza, but parking and patio seating was a little sparse in Colleyville.

Howzabout you Westies start up the Official Westside GTG thread? If you build it, we will come...

Parking is the problem with Wilhoite's. Miatas scattered everywhere.

I remember that now... if you didn't get there early, you were SOL and had to park at the funeral home...

Twin Peaks gets my vote.

I really don't feel like being mistaken for staff anywhere....
;);)


There is a Red Robin in Hurst with a huge balcony and a huge parking lot right off of 183.
Bit expensive but maybe once a month?
:D

Need i remind you of 99% clientel with the TCB memberships

Can I suggest a Friday night. That way most folks don't have to worry about getting to work in the morning. Granted the autoxers might need to get to bed early though. Maybe a Saturday night then.

There is also a Hooters in Lewisville on 35e at corporate.

TP Lewisville - great place, good looking girls, relativly small parking lot... but big shopping center. also after about 4 or 5, its filled with horny old mens cars that are there to get away from their wives for a night and get drunk. also, have to fight for spots with chipolte people, and the biggest place to park is in the best buy parking lot, which is normally packed until they close.. or until around 8 close to when they close.

Hooters Lewisville - Decent food, more expensive, bigger business parking lot... but most parking is in the back behind the building with no cameras (that i have noticed) and no way to really watch your car. the only exception to that is the old hooters right next door with a empty parking lot that would be availible to park in IIRC.

Sonic meet in Lewisville - havent been to this meet in a long time, mainly because its full of bass pounding, body kited, engine reving ricers and drama queens who still watch the slow and the curious everyday trying to be like Vin Deisel. I will say that it is a great place to have a meet with that big empty lot next to that sonic, but on another night besides Wed. would be better.

And we would be able to hang out next to the cars and shoot the shit. I agree with another night besides Wed.

Don't wear a TP uniform then ;)

Sonic on a Friday night reminds me of the old days with Lone Star Miata Club. I'm OK with that.

Noob. ;) There are a lot more autocrosses on Sundays than Saturdays.

I had the pleasure of dining at Twin Peaks a few weekends back. I'd definitely go there again. ::Naughty:
