The Royal Oak location is just south of where I did my fellowship in ‘89-‘90 at William Beaumont.Sign of the Beefcarver.
And they’re still open.
Locations | The Beef Carver
Sign of the Beefcarver Has 2 Locations Royal Oak 27400 Woodward Ave Royal Oak, MI 48067 248-546-7888 Dearborn 23100 Michigan Ave Dearborn, MI 48124 313-562-1390
Did Prairie Dogs the drink of the Redskins Hogs with Russ Grimm one night. That was the calm part of the evening
Steak and Ale was owned by the Shooneys people. I don’t know if it was under the same corporate umbrella or not
I'm sure there are other locations but I sometimes stop at one just outside (1/4 mile) south of Leesburg on BUS Rt 15. It's not like the one that was on College Avenue but their chicken is still very good.

When I lived w/ Heller out at Heritage Oaks, the VIP was our turf. The cheap draft beer, the tables, the pizza - it was all just perfect. Don't know if Ronnie and I ever lost a pool game there.
Glenn Ressler owned some Red Barn franchises as well as some Ponderosas for a spell.
Another rib joint that didn't last (at least down here) was Damon's. We had one on US 1 in Jupiter and the owner started another restaurant in our Publix plaza at the beach. Both were great, but short lived.
Used to be one in Cape May and on the Wildwood Boardwalk - both gone now.
Yes it was pretty good. We had a hot dog shop in Hickory TWP (Now Hermitage) that had fish sandwiches on fantastic tasting buns.
We had a Winky's in Hermitage as a child. We really went there as kids on our bikes for the donuts.
I've seen penguins on the telly, but never lobsters.
Having been to the UK many times, I'll say Arthur Treachers/Long John Silvers was really close to what you'd get at the corner chippy...
Our Surf Taco (the only one outside of NJ) is gone. I didn't go there much, but it was about 2 minutes away up at the beach. I guess they're closing some NJ locations as well.
I have been going to Blue Water Taco's in Jupiter when I am there. Not bad, pretty good tacos if you get a chance. Close to Jupiter Medical Hospital
Still a LJS on the strip in Williamsport. Chicken Planks. They could deep fry a shoe and I'd just eat around the sole.
I can't even get to Abacoa right now. I can get there. I just can't get back.
You know the Inlet/Tequesta bridge has been closed for a year. Now they decided to close the Donald Ross bridge for 10 days (eastbound only). I'm about another bridge closure from having to boat to work in Tequesta.
That was pre-McDonalds and the first place like that we had ever seen. Burger, fries and a shake for under a dollar. King's in Mt Penn was the same.
For the Reading crowd, Crystal Palace. Best chili dogs on the planet if you didn't mind the cook laying 8 of them along his left arm while applying the chili.
Here's one for any Boston area people. It wasn't ever a chain (they tried and didn't get past 5 locations) but apparently the original on Rt. 1 was one of the highest revenue restaurants in the country at its peak (it seated ~1500 people). No reservations - you would get a number and wait to hear your number called to be seated - often for an hour or more. They'd call off a group of numbers (not sequential so you had to pay attention) and say which dining room to go to. That was part of the experience - and you could get a drink or two while you were waiting.
Susie Wongs!
Anyone remember Chilcoat's? There were a few of those around back in the day. Always had good comfort food there.
