Their next meeting is May 9th 6pm @ the Ritz Grill 15 S.

Its not very hard to change the grilles out. 

There's one at BBQ Barn at noon every Friday and the Augusta REIA is Thursday (it's worth joining - and that's coming from someone who hasn't paid for any meetings other than this one). 

We're near Whole Foods""I just use Lyft to get to work""It's a lot quieter""I love the BBQ & Beer garden""Parking is easy"It is a place that has and, I believe, will continue to be on the up and up.Every quote above is the ingredient for tech hipsters and some high prices.Now, if your buddy's place isn't dated / could collapse during the next little earthquake / on landfill, then I would certainly consider it!

Eat at Wen Wah or Cozzy BBQ or some of the real local stuff and you decide.

The only caution with vinyl is the potential for rocks to put holes in it from mowing/snow-blowing and for grills to melt it - if you allow grills.

I've been going to several of the REIA groups in the area and would suggest the RICH club, Real Acquisitions networking event and Jet Lendings event at the Houston Texans Grille. 

the Monday one  (7pm) is at the Hibachi grill then afterwards they go down to Pete & Shorties for socializing.

One missing is Jet Lending's monthly meeting on the 3rd Wednesday of the month at the Texans Bar & Grill. 

There is a fairly new Target and a brand spanking new Dallas BBQ.
