to be telling us they want right now. We want to keep moving forward, but still maintain the soul of P.O.'s and Cypress Saloon for generations to come. Many of the things you see today are ideas that came about during the pandemic, and from us trying to adapt to the ever-changing conditions Texas BBQ Chicken over the past year. The massive outdoor dining area was developed so that folks could have a place to dine where they felt comfortable based on what the authorities were saying at the time, and as the situation evolved, we found that people still like to eat and drink in the sunshine, so it stayed. Several of our menu items were developed as family meals to do whatever we could to keep business coming in through the shutdowns, and ended up being so popular they made the menu. So, I suppose the thing I'm most proud of is the fact that we were able to survive a global pandemic 18 months into opening a restaurant by constantly adapting and re-inventing ourselves. I'm also super proud to be able to continue to host Cypress Chapel every Sunday morning. Pastor Stephen DeMik has been a great partner with us from day one and the contributions the church has made to our facility and to our local neighborhood are invaluable.
Our next project is getting the former P.O.'s building back into use. We've remodeled it, and we've had several ideas over time, but I believe we have finally settled on the direction we want to take it. It's still early in the process, so I don't want to give too much away, but we are excited about the direction we're headed, and that we may finally be using the entire building and property soon! What is your "Go to" meal at Creekwood Grill?
My personal go-to? Either the wings with either the dry rub bbq or the Honey Garlic sauce. We smoke the wings for an hour and a half before we flash fry them and I love that subtle smokiness. I'll grab a Wheelhouse Burger if I'm super hungry. What's next for Brian Sandel?
Who knows? Truth be told, I'd have never seen this coming, so as soon as God tells me what's next for me, you'll be the first to know!
