Did you know, that when we opened in 1965, my father cooked, served and washed the dishes for the nine original tables. Where the service bar now is was the kitchen, and the “upstairs dining area” and where the kitchen now is was an apartment where some other people lived.

My mother had another job, and came by to help serve after she got off there. I was six years old, and grew up here. For more history, see timeline.

We are going to continue to collect and post stories, fun facts and anecdotes. Gather pictures and other fun stuff.

If you have stories from your past dining experiences or would like to share a picture, please email us
