Old Lake Charles BWW Gets Its New Restaurant Sign

Back in May, we ran across a liquor permit on the door of the old Lake Charles Buffalo Wild Wings. The permit listed the name of the new place as the Nogal Mexican Cuisine and Bar based out of Deville, Louisiana. With over 15 Mexican-style restaurants, and growing, residents are asking "Do we really need another one?" The sign is now up on the old BWW location, so ready or not, here it comes.

Comments in a local restaurant review group were mixed on their enthusiasm. Some were really not surprised and voiced that opinion. Others complained that there were more than enough in the area and wished that there would be more options available to the area. A few made comments that these larger chain stores coming in are starting to choke out the local "mom and pop" places around the Lake Area as well.

A few did agree that the food at this place is top-notch, but only time will tell. My take on the whole thing? I don't care what opens, I try and stay open-minded and see the city beginning to grow again after what we have been through. I know we wish for a better variety, but this growth is better than places leaving and never coming back to our area. I also make the joke that if the places that come through the lake area don't work out, at least the building is renovated and fresh for the next one to give it a whirl.
