Five Guys, 931 Senate Street: May 2026 5 comments
I ate at this Five Guys a number of times, probably most memorably on a group trip from work to go downtown and buy some decent office chairs. Come to think of it, that may have been the last time I ate here, and that would have been probably ten years ago now. I like Five Guys (though the price is now amazing), but tend towards Columbiana or Forest Drive.
At any rate this one was caught up in the same property buyout that Monterrey was, and is now half demolished. In fact since these pictures are at least a week old, it is probably all demolished now.
Monterrey Mexican Restaurant, 931 Senate Street: 30 May 2026 (Moving) 2 comments
I'm honestly not sure if I ever ate at this Monterrey or not. I know I did at the one on Parklane, which I don't seem to have a closing for, and the one Knox Abbott. My impression has been that they are exactly what you expect, which is good, since you expected it.
This one's last day was 30 May, and they are currently closed while they set up to move to the old Crafty Crab location at 700 Gervais Street.
The impetus for the move is the fact that the corner of Senate & Park streets is to be torn down to put up apartments. You can read about it here.

Flying Saucer, 931 Senate Street: 10 December 2019 1 comment
Commenter Lone Wolf called this back in August:
Might want to keep and eye on Flying Saucer. They've just implemented some "changes", allegedly at the mandate of the Home Office in TX. From the "Signs Your Favorite Restaurant is About to Close", one will note several bad signs.
Saucer just hacked their menu from 1 page (front and back) to five items. Monday thru Thursday, they're no longer open for lunch. If you sit on the deck, all food and beverage orders must be placed inside, at the bar. As no one will be waiting on you on the deck, waitstaff has been reduced, or quit because their hours were cut.
I *do* hope they can right their ship. But, I don't agree with these changes.
Unfortunately, even with that warning, I didn't manage to get pictures before the closing, a combination of being both busy and absent minded. I finally did get by the other day, but the signage is already down and the place is listed for rent. The building seems to be thriving otherwise, so I expect something will move in before too long.
