A new restaurant is opening in Tyler, and it’s stirring up a bit of talk.
The familiar El Chico restaurant on Loop 323 is soon to be gone.
In it’s place is a Texas style restaurant that is apparently staffed with several close cousins of Daisy Duke.
It’s called the…wait for it…Double D Ranch. Yes, that’s what they mean.
When a new restaurant opens in town, it brings some new excitement. It also brings a chance for new employment. But this one also brings a little controversy.
Concerned parent Jennifer Alden is not happy with the theme of the Double D Ranch, which admittedly involves a provocative wait staff.
But it’s the location that bothers her most.
“But the main thing is that it’s right across from a high school,” she told KETK. “It’s right across from a school and it’s right next to Toys R Us and Babies R Us. So in my opinion, they may have the right to build it, but that doesn’t make it right.”
Others though, aren’t as troubled.
Calls to the parent company, Consolidated Restaurants, were not returned.
The restaurant is interviewing now for positions, and should be open sometime in August.
By the way, Consolidated Restaurants also owns El Chico, which is why no zoning or city approvals were needed for the change.

Although the name may be Double D- I too recently visited the Shreveport location. If you can find the Double D inside- good luck. Lots of "B"s and even a fried eye. It's the girls job to serve food and drink and that's what they do. I have seen less dressed girl and mothers enter the Toys'R'Us store. Maybe we should all boycott them for allowing bad influenses near children.
Because of the hooplaw from this professional news source, I recently visited the Double D in Shreveport just to see for myself. The wait staff is no less clothed than half the young girls yu see daily at the mall, Fire Mountain, high school football games, and even more covered than most at the swimming pools or lakes. These are all public places and just because they are not playing on a name brand- it's ok to dress in "scantily clad" clothing. The restaurant is there to serve food-period.
So Funny !! High-school age girls working where ...wait for it...right across the street from a high school. To read between the lines of this not so newsworthy article, you'd think J.B. Smith had opened-up another "Time-out" gentlemen's club across from Robert E. Lee. These young women are no more scantily clad then any you see at the beach and it is the lecherous eye that should be complained of. In other words, get your mind out of the gutter and let young people be young.
