In Odessa, Texas, themed restaurants with all-female waitstaff—often called "breastaurants"—are a noticeable part of the local dining scene. From national chains like Hooters and Twin Peaks to local favorites like Bottoms Up, these establishments are known as much for their themed attire as for their burgers and beer. Whether you love them or find them problematic, they remain a popular and highly visible piece of Odessa's restaurant landscape.
Texas-based Pappas Restaurants has acquired On The Border Mexican Grill & Cantina, offering a brighter future for locations in Tyler, Longview, and beyond.
The former Red Lobster in Tyler will soon become El Chino Buffet, a Chinese-Mexican fusion concept from the owner of Ohayo Sushi. Opening later this summer.
