Any country music fans out there?
Toby Keith is opening a restaurant/live music spot at Victoria Gardens, the first California location for the country music singer's chain. I Love This Bar and Grill has locations in Las Vegas, Mesa, Ariz. and five others in Michigan, Minnesota and Oklahoma.
"Mr. Keith's team has taken a major leap coming out here on the West Coast," noted Commissioner Francisco Oaxaca at last night's meeting.
Not really, said Joshua Fowler, a spokesman for the restaurant.
"There's lots of country music fans out here," Fowler said.
Some of them were at the Planning Commission meeting including Commissioner Frances Howdyshell, who has seen Toby Keith live twice including once at Stagecoach. Howdyshell challenged her colleagues to show up in country western attire.
Did somebody say off-site Planning Commission meeting?
During public comment, three spoke in favor of the Toby Keith establishment including one frequent customer to the Las Vegas location, a senior citizen line dancer and John Lyons, who told the commission the restaurant is a sign that the city has finally made it.
"Sometimes you never know if you've made it but you've made it," Lyons said.

So, if Toby's bar comes to town, is anyone going to start a pool to see when they get their conditional permit revoked!
I think that this is a great restaurant. I am currently stationed near Oklahoma City and the Toby Keiths out here is great. I am not a fan of country music myself but it is a fun place to go. Also, just as a perk if you are military you get a free burger. Their portions are more than generous too.
I cant not wait until this restaurant opens. I have a bachelors degree, yet this is the place I am dying to work at. As soon as I stepped foot in the Las Vegas location I was absolutely in love. Amazing food, great entertainment, amazing drinks and the best atmosphere of any country bar I have been in and trust me I frequent all the country bars in the area. I am absolutely excited for this and can not wait until it opens.
Hi,
I am very excited about this restaurant bar and grill. When will the open?
