I can personally say this is a fantastic restaurant with a good environment and staff that is interested in the customer. Add to that stock price cut in half over six months, less than 25% off its 52-wk low, and earnings growth estimated at 23% (PEG… More

I can personally say this is a fantastic restaurant with a good environment and staff that is interested in the customer. Add to that stock price cut in half over six months, less than 25% off its 52-wk low, and earnings growth estimated at 23% (PEG well below 1), and this looks like a winner right now.

Regarding the top bear pitch, i.e. the only one, as of this writing: The operating costs were a hard hit, and that isn't fixed overnight. It won't go unaddressed, especially with a new CEO. With 50% gross margin, which is well ahead of the industry, they have some wiggle room on this until a cost reduction plan is in place.

I hope the new restaurants opening in 08 are as good as the Dave's near my house, best ribs I've ever had. Good food all around. Looks like a good time for a thumbs up.

seems to have hit bottom and on its way back up, with several new locations scheduled to open in 08 and strong financials, this is a definite buy and hold
