Management reported having its best year so far and then they announced closing. The Cameron Mitchell co has never been impressed by the preponderance of a heavily slanted ethnic crowdAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-3565672635092587562015-09-05T10:19:47.357-04:002015-09-05T10:19:47.357-04:00Julio's is a little bit over rated to me they&... Julio's is a little bit over rated to me they're very much like McDonald's and Chef Boyardee combined and their service reminds me of Boston chicken, no kidding. The only concept they really have that is interesting is their fajitas however the execution of that concept is completely inconsistent and lacking. Especially the perimeter location I always feel like I'm at barberitos.

Thanks for your comments and readership....@ImAndy,<br /><br />Thanks for your comments and readership. Allow me to clarify my comments. When I said Buckhead area, I meant the central Buckhead community. I think Uncle Julio's does do a good job but is too far south, "south Buckhead" on the edge of midtown to be convenient or an option for those around Lenox / Phipps. The Mexican fare in that area is basically On The Border, Moe's or Chipotle. <br /><br />Sorry for the confusion but thank you for you readership.

Cameron Mitchell has about a dozen concepts that do very well in key locations around greater Columbus. <br /><br />Agree with nsk about that stretch of Piedmont being very weird nowadays. Expensive real estate for such an awkward area.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-37398467898354566592015-09-03T13:21:10.860-04:002015-09-03T13:21:10.860-04:00How about Ford Fry?How about Ford Fry?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-70765014950270482062015-09-03T13:20:07.091-04:002015-09-03T13:20:07.091-04:00I'd like to hear your definition of "good...I'd like to hear your definition of "good" Mexican food. lol Uncle Julios is at least that big or bigger and always packed but again I'm not on the level of "foodie" as you I guess I don't know what "good" Mexican is.

There's a Jag/LR/Rolls dealership, a Krystal, Bones, a tire store, the remains of a Jeep dealership, a Mexican dive bar, at least two mattress stores, Fogo, Kyma, Buckhead Diner, that seedy hookah place, the Havana club that apparently draws reality-TV types, a suite hotel, and then those perpendicular low-rise strip malls with hair restoration / massage / chiropractic clinics.<br /><br />I'm not surprised Ocean Prime is closing, and I agree that there was nothing compelling about this restaurant compared to other Buckhead spots.nsknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-36551082559556253192015-09-03T13:01:36.636-04:002015-09-03T13:01:36.636-04:00Dean & Deluca!Dean & Deluca!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
