Does anyone know what new restaurants and businesses are coming to Kent Island? I heard a Ruby Tuesdays, Giant, and new Safeway. The island needs a texmex or some other quick (non fastfood) places to eat.

My mother works for the Giant in Easton, and as far as well know, it's a done deal. Safeway is true as well, just taking them awhile. Haven't heard the Ruby Tuesday thing yet, but it would be nice if we had a Chain style resturant like that. Our local resturants are wonderful, but sometimes a Fridays or Outback is nice to go to, and it would should beat the drive to Easton or Annap.

I agree on the restaurant thing. While the local restaurants are good, it would be nice to have more than crab cakes and rockfish on a menu. I know that a Cracker Barrell was being proposed next to K-Mart, but the usual group of people that are anti-growth got that turned down too.

Sorry guys,
The Giant has pulled back and according to their marketing director they will not be coming to KI.
We contacted them just 2 weeks ago to advertise in the QAC Tricentennial commerative publication and that is what I was told verbatim. Some members of our county goverment fouled that up.

The Cracker Barrell is a Greatttt!!! family restaurant. I have enjoyed the place everytime everytime I have been been in one. They do employ many people. I guess we will never see one here. I beleive the real reason is that they do not serve ALCOHOL. I am told this would be bad for Queen Anne's County Liquor Board revenue.

Actually the real reason the Giant isn't coming is because the county was asking for too much $$ for traffic paterns and Cracker Barrel pulled out because of the leases that the trailers have for the land they sit on were too long.
