Tim’s Times Two, IV
Tim’s Texas Roadhouse, sequel to Tim’s Texas BBQ, officially opened last Sunday evening with free food and beer. The stuffed peppers were tasty, while the refried beans and enchilidas went down nicely with a pint of beer. The staff was efficient, which was good given a strong turnout. It’s more open than original Tim’s, with a stage for the weekend bands, but it has a similar feel.
By the way, Tim’s is on Super Bar Street, reportedly new home of Blockhouse, across from Pili Pili and 5:19 Bar and Grill. Is this depressing area finally waking up? Never been a fan, have I, and previously decribed it as ranking “among the more depressing strips in Beijing, if not the planet… It reminded me of a deserted and poorly refurbished fair midway. I half-expected a slightly insane, gap-toothed carnie to pop out and hawk dirty candy apples.”
Well, it’s getting slightly better (the carnie would probably have dentures). But what would really help is to get the street blocked to traffic. And throw down cobblestone. And plant some trees. And clean up that nearby pond.
Getting some decent Tex-Mex in the area is a good start.
