You beat me to it, I was going to post a new thread when his restaurant actually opens lol. I do agree that Maple Ridge seems to be a poor location. Boonie makes great food but I'm not sure of his business sense. I mean, opening a soul food restaurant at a Cloverdale curling rink? Now a Maple Ridge location? Boonies could be a huge hit in the Vancouver area with the right business knowledge and marketing. Look how popular Memphis Blues is with their crap BBQ!

Memphis Blues is GROSS. Please don't draw comparisons with Boonies to that AGAIN.

Ok nevermind this was an old thread I'm stupid :)
So they are opening in MR now? I never heard of this place, should try it sometime. I hope they change the business hours or else I'll never be able to try it :(

i will try it when i head out to the range.

whether u like it or not
its probably making more money than u
ohhhhhh snaapp

haha

^ Sensitive much? Sounds like someone works there and hates their job.

boonies > memphis x10
i live in east van and drove out to boonies 3 times for the ribs, burger and pulled pork. But then they closed.

i had a dream last night wherei was taking the bridge over to maple ridge headng to boonies LOL

nice thats close to my work, hopefully they are open for lunch

Ya, I never really understood the hype about MB. I was only there once but I didn't think it was anything special at all, worse then that it wasn't even decent it was blah.

sounds like a good dream

hmm well i dont work there

i just mean the owners are earning shitloads cuz ppl still eat there

Although I'm guilty of being a patron to their services (twice!), I think people who eat their are either there for a)novelty b)craving c)fucking idiots.

Most people are there for c) if they think MB is good shit.

hope this one pulls through this time, its allmost been a freaking year!

Langley again...gay :(

FUCK...I hate how they always lead you on with false dates. A couple weeks ago he posted this info on his facebook page, along with saying a late January unofficial opening and official February opening. From his website update it sounds like he still has tons of work to do and won't open anytime soon.

I NEED BOONIES lol.

I hang out with people in Langley pretty often so this would be good news for me... but jesus, its been too long... Boonies Burger, Seasoned Fries, Pulled Pork, Small Dinner... its been too long...

"The lease is signed and financing is complete. We are just waiting for washrooms which were apparently overlooked when building the restaurant! Hopefully they will be in place this week or next and we can move in and start this up!

We will be located in the Quality Inn & Suites in Langley - it's a brand new hotel on 201 Street at the back of the Home Depot Parking lot. We'll have about a 30 seat restaurant as well as an 80 seat banquet room at the hotel, and of course take out.

Don't look for us yet! We need washrooms before we can get our business licence! Just a few more weeks people but we'll let you know as soon as you can come in."

anyone wanna drive by and give me an update? :)

i'm hungry now :cry:

Three minute drive from my house, can't wait till it's open.

I can't wait for this. He better be serious this time around.

FUUUUUUUUUUU...I was hoping to go there out in Langley for Valentine's Day to avoid driving into Vancouver during the Olympics. Now it sounds like they aren't opening until late February at the earliest.

hes gonna be serving a lot more ppl than when he was at the curling rink

hope the quality that he pumps out is still the same.

I just checked the website and it doesn't say much of that, where'd you get the info from?

edit: Just saw the facebook page, my friend lives like right near there, he's gonna be estatic...

i will venture out to langley to try this. i love soul/southern cooking
