Old Texadelphia to become Big Dog Daddy's Ice House

[ChargerAg]

Went by here tonight. Big Dog Daddy's had been renamed a while back to Toby's American Grill. Anyhow it is closed for good now. Sign said that they may relocate. Wonder if the road work on Lindsey hurt them? You would think with Toby and Hal Smiths money they would have made a better run.

The construction surely hurt business. It was never super busy but I'm this construction killed it. Everything on Lindsey is hurting right now. I don't know many people in Norman who go down there for food. I have missed me some Ray's BBQ just because I don't want to deal with the lane situation.

While the construction is a bit obnoxious, venturing down Lindsey St. is really not bad at all. Businesses are still accessible and because lots of folks are avoiding it, it's not busy. I'm helping how I can, but I'd really encourage people to continue supporting their haunts or we're going to lose a lot of long-time businessses.

Anybody know what is going on with this property? They are repainting the building bright multicolors. They are also extending the outside patio area. Curious if this will be a new Toby Keith Venture.

I hope they last, I like Penny Hill! This building seems cursed.

Here is a pic took of it today. You can see the new color scheme. You can also see the new deck on the left that they are building.

[HangryHippo]

Those color choices are ugly. The deck looks nice though.

Penny HIll has relocated quite a few times, I hope they're fine. Each time into a location with more prevalence.

I read their grand opening is today.

I went and was greatly disappointed. I was a frequent visitor of their old location on Lindsey. When we first walked in it took a while to get our menus and the manager (?) came over to tell us right off the bat that nothing would be right and that things are crazy and slow. Strange, but okay. The waiter was unfamiliar with the menu though that wasn't surprising. However, it took nearly an hour to get our sandwiches. I know it's the first day so things are slow, but an hour to plop egg salad on a roll? The bacon was soggy and the fries came out soggy and lukewarm. Both of my friend's orders were messed up but they dealt with it because we were already so pressed for time. (And, FWIW, the style of the sandwiches has changed somewhat: the chicken club that used to be on a long roll now came on a hamburger-style bun and the chicken was a chicken breast instead of strips). Had to wait another 30 minutes for the waiter to return to give us our checks. I'll probably wait a while before giving them another shot to see if they get their act together, but even for opening day standards it seemed pretty disjointed.

Not good. They could be missing out on some of the graduation crowd tomorrow.

Just curious, but did you request an adjustment on your tab or a credit for a future visit?

We didn't, no. My order was fine (other than the wait and the somewhat soggy fries), and my two friends weren't bothered enough by theirs to cause a stir. The waitstaff was extremely apologetic the whole time (like I said, literally the first thing said to us as we walked in lol), but I could see performance like this really bothering some folks especially on graduation weekend.
