Hey!!! Wild horses couldn't drag me away from an evening at Gracie's. If I don't like it it may, as you say, be the last time. Don't know spider. You can't always get what you want at places like this but I am willing to give it one more try. I surely don't want to go so far as to be a street fighting man about this though. In addition, I surely don't want to get sad and let the tears go by if this doesn't work out. ]]> Tue, 16 Jul 2019 08:48:05 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6816&PID=51211&title=gracies-ownership#51211 Gracies Ownership : Correct—you don’t get it,... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6816&PID=51210&title=gracies-ownership#51210 Author: spiderjohn

Correct—you don’t get it, Bob— because you don’t want to get it. Just voted best restaurant in Middletown—back to back years. Best local food is at Browns Run, but that is another story...

Owners are working very hard to establish themselves while improving the landscape and hopefully themselves. They are involved in the community.
I am sure that they have obstacles constantly along the way.

I am not a huge “downtown” fan after watching decades of prioritizing over everything else , damn the cost. Would hate to know how many millions have been spent along the way. But it looks like it is go there occasionally or do nothing around here.
The BRCC house band opens the Bash for the Menus Wednesday evening. IMO they are more entertaining than the Menus.

i just don't get it.

I have never ragged Gracies - nor its owners. Statement of facts - yes - ragged? No.

Please don't mis-characterize my comments.  Never been to Gracies.  Would have nothing to say about it either way - however - I would disagree with your comment about it being ' one of the busiest restaurants in town ' I'd say that's not likely true unless you define 'town' differently than I do.

Ok Spider. Let's dine at Gracie's. A Friday or Saturday evening would be a good time for my son (if he wishes to attend) and I. Could we do the patio, weather permitting? It will NOT turn into a bitch session about Middletown. Choose a date and we'll (I'll) be there.

People nowadays are quick on the trigger to label everything they hear as "negative" no matter the intent of the individual offering the comments. The optimal buzz words for criticism reaction now are "negative" or, in the political arena, "racists". Two popular words to describe those who differ in opinions. More politically correct bull---- in our current screwed up world.

I do like your great comeback on the Stones "Satisfaction" comment. Clever and noted. ]]> Mon, 15 Jul 2019 08:21:06 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6816&PID=51208&title=gracies-ownership#51208 Gracies Ownership : fair enough, vet---Gracie's... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6816&PID=51207&title=gracies-ownership#51207 Author: spiderjohn

fair enough, vet---Gracie's is obviously not your kind of place, judged by your long string of negative comments. Enough people like it, since it is one of the busiest restaurants in town, and was just voted the top spot in the Best of Middletown polling. I would gladly meet people there to give it a try, if not turning in to a bitch about Middletown evening.

Just trying to get a few of you some Satisfaction!

Hardcore spider....

"Since you have never visited, quit bitching and give it a try!
You can read the menu and prices, so no surprises.
As much as bob and you rag on the owners and place, they would probably welcome you.
Or maybe stick to Golden Corral and the Senior Center.....
Come on, man!"

I believe my comments were of the speculative/inquisitive nature and not meant to necessarily "bitch" or complain. I mentioned that I would still try it before giving it a thumbs up or down. For Christ sake, I'm trying to give the downtown the benefit of the doubt here.

Don't get it spider. One post you are inviting us to join you for a meal there and in this post you are jumping down our throats for offering some comments that you take as offensive toward Gracie's. It may be award winning to you but others may find it a tad bit short of that designation. Don't understand the change in demeanor here from you. Wrong side of the bed type of thing perhaps or are you just naturally prone to flying off the handle at times?

I can just hear the Rolling Stones song "Get Off My Cloud" playing in the background on this one.

Dined at the award-winning( 4 best of recently) Gracies last night.
Everything was fine—plenty of food in the plates.
