It seems all the coverage is predominantly local from Austin as per WP:AUD. The only wider coverage I found is WSJ but it's a 1 line mention and not WP:SIGCOV. https://www.wsj.com/story/san-francisco-vs-austin-elon-musks-tesla-is-latest-to-go-to-lone-star-state-8b66cd2e LibStar (talk) 05:56, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

~~Comment~~: while much of the coverage appears to be local (and/or aggregated in regional media based on local sources), the restaurant and its sign have been the subject of an interview in The Takeout (part of G/O Media) [1] and a book review in Texas Monthly [2]. No !vote yet pending further assessment of these sources. --Kinu ^t/_c 19:57, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Changing my !vote to keep after assessment. --Kinu ^t/_c 20:15, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I'm not in Texas and I'm hardly au courant on popular culture topics. If even I've heard of this place and seen pictures of their sign, it's got to be notable somehow.

Keep. After a less-than-exhaustive search I've found a several sources of SIGCOV, from places other than Austin TX. I have no AUD worries here. Here are the 3 I read most of:
1. Coverage from Merced, California, Sun-Star [3]
2. Via newspapers.com - Corpus Christi Caller Times article about a book about their marquee, with direct coverage of the Marquee and restaurant itself. [4]
3. Fort Worth Star Telegram source about the restaurant, covering both the Austin location as well as a contemporaneously new location. [5]

Side note - this business seems like a regional chain, not that that changes anything regarding notability.

keep due to ...its enduring legacy, appearances in local and partially national media, and its unique elements. It appears to have a significant cultural influence in its local area, particularly through its innovative marketing strategy featuring a humorous marquee. 多少战场龙 (talk) 13:23, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per sources identified. Please nominate wisely. Nominations based on "it seems", "maybe", "I believe" and the like often waste community resources. There is no lack of AfDs, to say the least! gidonb (talk) 20:32, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
