Dearborn lunch 8-11

[Huntervf]

Where? There's a good steakhouse just off Oakwood in that new mall south of Rotunda... easy to get to, LOTS of parking. I can't think of the road name, but basically you'd exit I-94 at Oakwood and go north about a mile, bust a left at a traffic light and that takes you right up to the new mall. I'll be over there at the new Olga's tomorrow so I can get specific directions then.

Let's bump it up to noon to help typhoon fit it into his schedule a little easier.

Who's in?

 

[shoteen95]

[shopower17]

I might give it a try if gas funds are available.

A 5 hour round trip drive just for lunch???

I'll get an addy posted up tomorrow.

 

[SuperHO]

5 hours?? Damn, you drive slow. Only took me around 3 to get to the other side of Cleveland from my house........

 

[5SpdSHO]

Not sure if I'll be able to make this one.

 

[silverknight]

[hoboprodigy-]

I should be able to make it.

Ok... I obviously didn't post lunch directions yesterday. I was home sick instead of enjoying my free Olga

And then it occured to me... I have Olga's address, and the steakhouse is in the same place, so:

3432 Fairlane Dr
Allen Park, MI 48101


This is the address for Olga's, the steakhouse in the same mall however. Here's how to get there from:

I-94- Exit at Oakwood Blvd and go NORTH about 1/2 mile to the traffic light at Fairlane Drive.

M-39- (Southfield Freeway) Exit at Oakwood Blvd and go SOUTH about a mile.

In either case... Turn LEFT(from I-94) or RIGHT (from M-39) onto Fairlane Dr and go up the hill. It's a decent hill and the whole area is pretty new, and as you climb the hill you'll start to see a parking lot on your right. The mall itself will be off to your far right, but the steakhouse is actually near Fairlane Dr. It won't be much more than a 1/2 mile after you turn and it's pretty much the only building in the parking lot at that point. Just find a driveway and pull in

I'll be there at noon.

Don't think I can make it, just blew another alternator and had to get that replaced. But if I can i'll see ya there.

 

[typhoon5000]

thanks for bumpin it up. I can make it

 

[typhoon5000]

does this steakhouse have a name or will it be very obvious?

 

[bully06]

does this steakhouse have a name or will it be very obvious?

It's called Longhorn Steakhouse. I've been there 3 times, pretty good food.

 

[Huntervf]

That's it... Longhorn. Thanks for posting that!

And yes, it will be pretty obvious

Should I look into some reservations?


Huntervf
Typhoon
SHOteen
Hobo
SuperHO (tentative)

Actually, with this amount I don't think we'll need reservations

Don't think I can make it, just blew another alternator and had to get that replaced. But if I can i'll see ya there.

Didn't you just have an alternator put on? Please tell me you're not paying for these replacements....

 

[shopower17]

No i'm not paying for them. If i was i would be and . I made them replace it under the warranty. Its just that my dad wants to make sure that it wont brake down again. But i disconnected my subs so, lets see how that works. But i'm going to ask my dad for some money if i can go. How much do you think i'll need.

 

[hoboprodigy-]

$7.80

 

[shopower17]

Ok i'll come out. But if i'm not there. I got lost. But excpect me there.

 

[Huntervf]

How much do you think i'll need.

Tree fiddy!

$10 should get you a pretty good lunch. I think I spent less than that last time I was there and got some decent BBQ ribs. Or was it a burger? I can't remember

I finally used my free coupon at Olga's today and refreshed myself with the Longhorn. It will be EASY to find as they now have a big ass sign near the road behind the building that says Longhorn

It's just like I described above, however Fairlane Drive isn't clearly marked from Oakwood blvd. It is however the ONLY major traffic light between I-94 and M-39, so either way you go just look for the major traffic light. There's also a big sign/monument that says 'Fairlane Green" where the mall is, and that's visible from the intersection. The other direction is flat and nothing but a bunch of ford office buildings (mostly)... so it should be pretty obvious which direction to go. Once you make your turn you'll be going up a hill, there's all kinds of new construction off to the left. Once you get to the top of the hill just keep going, you'll see the Longhorn sign and the building itself. Take a right a the next driveway, you'll have to backtrack through the parking lot to get to Longhorn but it's an easy find.

My cell (if it's working) is 810-931-5587 in case anyone get's lost.

On a side note, I doubt it's your subs causing the problem. Remanufactured items like alternators, starters, etc. can either be good or really bad. I went through 3 pep boys alternators in less than a month before I finally got one that lasted.

Ok i'll talk to you tommarrow about it. Cya

Oh and i'm gunna bring a camera
