DFW Weekly GTG : Murphy, Plano, Wylie, Richardson, Garland, Sachse, and area #10

Safety Car
We were first based in Murphy, then moved to Sachse, then Garland. Our original intent moving to the Plano area was to try to provide a middle ground for people living more west. We have some folks driving down from Anna right now, and a few from Frisco too. Moving to Frisco I fear would discourage some folks on the east side. We want to find a middle ground. Its already a 20 min drive for me from Wylie at our current location. I would not think its more than 20 mins for you from Fricso right ?

Dukes has a big outdoor patio that would work great until it gets real hot. Two Rows has a very smoky bar, so unless we are going to sit in the normal dining area I don't suggest this one. I say we put a couple in the rotation...there's a big Humperdinks at Campbell and 75 that's not bad also.

I scoped it out last night and there are a couple sections we might be able to park at. I don't know what parking will be like at 6:30-7:00 when we arrive though. We can play it by ear.... There are a bunch of spots behind the top rectangle area I highlighted. Its quite dark back there though. The bottom rectangle area I highlighted is VERY well lit.
Duke's Original Roadhouse
3310 North Central Expressway
Plano, TX 75074

If this is something we want to consider....
Has anyone been there ? The pictures on there site don't show great seating for us to all sit together.

There is a ton of good places like these on southern tip of mckinney/ northern tip of Plano on east side . Most all these sound good. My two cents worth is as much as I LOVE Mexican food..... Let's do something that has a open menu--- please! :-)

So we have 3x votes for TX Roadhouse (75/Eldorado).
I don't want to loose any regulars because this is too far out of the way. Please chime in and see what works best for the whole group. I know for Tim, Lee and myself that will be at 35-40 min drive for us. I don't mind though if everyone agrees.
Before we make any final decision I want to make sure we get a majority vote on this.
We can make a final decision on the votes by end of tomorrow. That should give everyone enough time to check the post and vote on there thoughts.
