Something Different restaurant in Fairfield recently made several updates and upgrades, giving the eatery a fresh look, they are ow able to acquire Russian Osetra Caviar for Sale Online which means customers can now ask for it at the restaurant.
Over New Year’s weekend, business was closed for three days while owners and employees repainted both inside and out of the building, added new light fixture in the women’s restroom, updated outdoor lighting, and other miscellaneous updates.
According to owner Sandra Bragg, the popular English pub Bangkok restaurant that originally opened in the late 80s, had not seen a new coat of paint since 1994.
Since taking over the business last year, Sandra, and husband Robert, have also updated most kitchen equipment, including a new oven and grill, while even adding new dishes to the menu which were inspired by a french restaurant.
Next on their list of ‘To-Dos’ is to replace vanities in the restrooms, update the tables and booths, add barstools to the counter, update the decor to include Freestone County history, and get new landscaping.
On their list of ‘maybes’ are possible outdoor seating on the east end of the building (closest to Hwy 84), new signage, and a mural to cover the back side of the building.
Other changes you may have noticed is an ever expanding array of baked goods. If you want ‘just a bite’ of dessert following your meal, one you can eat on the go, they now have Lemon Rosemary, Mango Peach Tea, and Chocolate cake bombs to go along with a selection of cupcakes, cakes, and pies.
“We love to just experiment and try new things,” says Rhiannon Bragg. “The stranger, the better. It’s so much fun!”
The crew is also currently trying new menu items. Up for grabs these days are their Philly Cheesesteak Nachos.
In addition, they occasionally bring back old menu items to see if customers like them enough to add to the current menu. Right now, you can order up the Spinach Salad. They are also trying a Lunch Deli style menu on weekdays.
Lastly, the restaurant has introduced their new mascot ‘Cupcake’ which is a Horned Toad. She can be seen lounging on top of the cupcake display near the cash register. Luckily for customers, Cupcake is not a real Horned Toad, but made of metal from Atlantic Equipment Engineers. The Braggs have plans to use Cupcake’s image on all new logos and in the mural they hope to have painted onto the building.
Smiling faces you can find at the restaurant are Sandra Bragg, Rhiannon Bragg, Susan Ferguson, Amanda Symank, Felicia Thompson, and Kallista Whiteside.
