More March Restaurant Deals

March 11, 2009 | 9:10 am

KC alerts us to a new 80% off discount code on restaurant.com:  “MENU”.

He goes on to say, “The $25 gift certificates are normally $10, but are $2 with the code.  They also sell $10 certificates for select restaurants for $3, making them 60 cents each with the code.  (They have these promotions often.)   They have Parker’s on Ponce and Ted’s Montana available (among others!).  I just bought a $25 certificate for Ted’s for $3.”

Also, Carl recently reminded me of a March Ted’s promotion, where if you upload an original ode to Ted’s, be it an essay, poem, or drawing, you will receive a certificate for a free Ted’s burger and a chance at winning a Prius.

I shall now demonstrate how easy it can be….ehem…

Ted, your burgers are so juicy,

I always make a mess,

But when my wife tells me to wash my hands,

I wipe them on her dress.

Hmm…I might need to rethink this a bit.

Parker's Coupons

March 1, 2009 | 11:00 am

Don’t throw out that new Savvy Shopper mailing just yet!

In addition to the usual coupons to Wahoo! and Raging Burrito/Taco, I just noticed the newest issue includes some really great Parker’s on Ponce coupons inside the front cover.

Included are a “buy one entree & 2 beverages, receive the second entree of equal or lesser value free” coupon, a similar “lunch entree” couon and a $5 off $15 take-out order coupon.  Coupon expires April 1st.

Plus they’re valid Sunday-Thursday, which is much better in my opinion, than the usual Monday-Thursday coupons.

Parker's On Ponce Now Open!

November 22, 2008 | 7:32 pm

akb writes in with news that Decatur’s only independent steakhouse, Parker’s on Ponce, is now open in the old, desirable Mick’s space on Ponce.  Funny, I just checked their website the other day, but it still had nothing on it.  But apparently they opened Tuesday…see her note below!

My husband and I were looking for a place to eat last night and noticed Parkers is now open, so we went in. They said they opened on Tuesday. (I’m surprised you didn’t post this, DM! We look to you for all the restaurant updates ;)

The place looks great, the steaks were tasty and the staff was very friendly, although the food was a bit slow to arrive, but they will work those kinks out. They mentioned that the grand opening is sometime in mid-December.

Guess it was a pretty quiet open.   My wife said that it didn’t even look open when we drove by just an hour ago (I was too busy feeling out the new crosswalk), but maybe word just isn’t out yet.

Well, now it is!  Can’t wait to try it out!

Trinity Triangle Development Won't Start 'Til 2009

September 2, 2008 | 3:20 pm

…according to an update from the city in the September Decatur Focus, which is now online.  Also, there are no longer plans to tear down the existing Dairy Queen and build it into the new plan.  Which means the existing building will remain (which I believe has actually been there since the 1960s).

Other things of note to development-obsessed me:

  • Parker’s On Ponce has push back their opening to October, due to plumbing issues.
  • Also many businesses on the Square are coordinating a valet parking service for patrons that will possibly start this fall.  I think I heard that valets will park cars in the courthouse deck…but I’m not entirely sure about that.
