Boo.  IHOP is a quick walk from the tailgate area for some late (late) night food when doing an overnight tailgate.  The other "walking distance" restaurants called out are not near this corner of campus.  I don't care who owns the land, I just wish they'd keep an all night restaurant there.

I like the green IHOP logo in the article, however.

Did you really like it when a sack and save, a gas station, an un renovated McDonalds, and an IHOP where the public face of the university from  i35?  I sure didn't.  

All that land is going to be made into a great "face" for the campus.  Public perception is important and this will help greatly when it is done.

Dix Coney Island, another classic Denton restaurant,

A classic?  It's been there for what, two or three years?  Don't get me wrong.  I love the place equally at 2 a.m. and 7 a.m.

Cozy Oaks?  They got new ownership and changed their name to Sunset Grill around 1994.  I have no idea if Sunset Grill is still running.

That's called having your Designated Driver haul yo ass down to Sabrocita when it's open 24/7 on the weekends.

IHOP was a big part of my UNT experience, but whatever.

Dear Rachel - What a crappy write-up.

Demolish the Sack-n-Save first before you get greedy, UNT!

Nope.  Didn't see me complaining when the others closed.

I have fond memories of going to IHOP and the Kettle (was next to the Whataburger) at all hours of the night, but the place really shows it's age now.  Certainly it's not the same with a drop-down ceiling instead of the A-frame.  It's time for something to replace it.  In a different location, obviously.
