I never knew this place existed in MIssion valley until recently, and i've been around here for a few years.

why don't people talk about this place more? they have good food for the $$$ i think (had cuban sandwich there), and i heard they didn't use to take credit/debit cards, but they do now.

12/7/2008 10:48:32 PM

12/7/2008 11:09:38 PM

The first rule of Cloos is you don't talk about Cloos.

I made a thread about it a few months ago

12/7/2008 11:28:24 PM

^ it was like a year ago, and I couldn't post in it.

And as of your thread, they didn't seem to accept credit cards.

12/7/2008 11:28:58 PM

12/7/2008 11:29:40 PM

I like Cats and Dogs in Asheville... catfish and hotdogs

12/7/2008 11:31:59 PM

no one knows about this place except for google.

12/7/2008 11:34:52 PM

It's the next-to-last building to the right of where Quiznos is in Mission Valley in case anyone's wondering.

12/7/2008 11:38:03 PM

Pretty good gyros, better than that new Greek place on Western, at least. I really like their fries, too. The only thing I dislike is the wait.

12/8/2008 12:36:06 AM

i was able to gain weight b/c of that place.

12/8/2008 1:03:20 AM

It's good, but over priced.

I used to eat there pretty often when I was in college. Great food.

12/8/2008 7:58:07 AM

cheap beer

12/8/2008 9:06:54 AM

It's pretty good, but they take forever to cook a cheesesteak.

12/8/2008 10:29:45 AM

It's pretty good, but they take forever to cook a cheesesteak any damn thing.

Nonetheless, the food is worth it. I am a frequent customer.

12/8/2008 11:58:54 AM

how do people not know about this place? its 20 years old.

12/8/2008 11:59:41 AM

they take credit now?
niice

12/8/2008 11:59:53 AM

my regular order: coney, chicago, chili cheese fries.... MMMMMM, delicious

12/8/2008 12:30:34 PM

boy do I miss that place

12/8/2008 12:32:54 PM

i ate there a decent bit in college and while i was still in raleigh - it's good

12/8/2008 12:33:51 PM

It's been there for a while now, probably close to 10 years. When I worked in cargo at RDU Airport my Junior year at NCSU, they used to get their shipments of hot dogs and chili from Detroit. Daniel (the owner) would come up there like once a week to pick them up. He always let us eat for free.

12/8/2008 2:47:40 PM

Their hot dogs are nasty. I hate that skin on them. I might try a burger there though.

12/8/2008 3:26:27 PM

for a "hidden eatery" there sure are a lot of mofos in there

12/8/2008 3:27:27 PM

They are all waiting for food.

12/8/2008 3:52:39 PM

sliders

delicious sliders

the roast grill staff are fans of cloo's

that's all you need to know

12/8/2008 3:58:19 PM

i guess to be fair, there's only 8 tables in the joint

and half of them are occupied by white dudes in suits

it's very mysterious

longer.
I went there regularly my freshman year in 1997-98, and it was already pretty established by then.

You could go there during lunch in 1999-2002 and see Amato, Herb and other NCSU coaches, like Rollie Geiger from the XC team.


went back today for the first time in 5 years - just as good as I remember it!!

I noticed that today, and there were also several older guys in suits that walked in and handed the cashier an envelope...

But, they've been there 21 years according to the signs in their store.

Truth. I used to see Herb and his kids in there all the time. That was probably circa 2000.

on a side note, anyone here old enough to remember Corchiani's?

12/8/2008 5:51:01 PM

I would say so, considering I think he closed down my sophomore year, which was 1997

12/8/2008 5:52:32 PM

I swear I ate there about 2002 or so.

But my memory could be getting hazy.

i dont know if anyone mentioned five guys but that place has replaced cloos as best burgers in my book

12/8/2008 5:55:29 PM

i remember corchianis, only cuz my dad and stuff. '97 i was in High school.. i also remember big bad wolf . lol

12/8/2008 5:58:24 PM

I still wear my 10 year old Corchiani's shirt. Here, I took a picture of it



And I am not sure exactly when they closed down, but I know it was before I graduated. And I graduated in 2000. I am pretty sure that Ruckus took their spot, so figure out when Ruckus opened and you will know about when Corchiani's closed.

^OMG, Big Bad Wolf.....now that brings back memories. That and Colorado's. 2 best places for underage drinking in Raleigh
