Did anyone ever make it to Big Daddy's, where Harry's is now?
Yeah, it was ok. Owned by the Martini Corner guys. Bar was smaller and on the other side of the room. Food was decent, but nothing special.bahua wrote: Did anyone ever make it to Big Daddy's, where Harry's is now?
Bishops, bitch!chrizow wrote: Dos Hombres, at roughly 87th and Blue Ridge in SKC. their all you can eat taco bar was incredible. mmmm.
also in the blue ridge/bannister area: Darryl's, Hickory Chick, Dunkin Donuts, McCoy's Family Restaurant.
I remember this place well. It was an awesome restaurant sitting on a bluff with absolutely incredible views of downtown. It closed down because it was built on a portion of the hill that was sloughing off and undermining the foundation....always get those geotech surveys done before building! The food was good though. The concept came out of Denver, I believe they had (have?) one just off Highway 6 in Lakewood (or some point west of Denver city).WSPanic wrote: Anyone remember Baby Doe's?

Oh, that's right. Mario's.KCLofts wrote: Still there. The restaurant is called Mario's and the sandwiches are called grinders. And they are very good!
Oh, sorry. Is the one spelled "Sydney's" still there?bahua wrote: Also, the Sidney's I was referring to was one Broadway and Valentine, where Chubby's used to be. Filthy, but awesome.
I listed it as a "closed" one I had visited because someone else listed it first. Hey, I've been gone for seven years!What happened to the Golden Ox? I thought that was still there!
I do, too. But I was in my 20s.WSPanic wrote: Anyone remember Baby Doe's? I do - but just vaguely from childhood.
I heard the parent company would build fascinating restaurants in (on) quite unusual and unexpected sites in big cities. I ate dinner at such a restaurant in Houston in the early 80s. Can't remember the name, but it was located right on a canal, where gigantic cargo ships slowly navigated. These were not little barges. You'd be sitting at a table next to a window wall (at night) eating your steak, and you'd sense this monstrous, dark, building-like thing silently inching by, only a few feet away.Highlander wrote: I remember this place well.

I laughed so hard at this, my husband asked me what was so funny. I couldn't get the words out because they were even funnier when I tried to repeat them.scooterj wrote: Just after the "Freshly Dead" gag I leaned out the back door of the station wagon and became reaquianted with the meal I had just eaten.

oh no doubt, my parents and myself used to go to the po folks on south noland road. and get fried chicken from grandy's off of stadium drive. i remember freddie patek being involved with grandy's, i thought perhaps it was his chain but now i guess he was just an investor? not sure really.mean wrote: They were when I was a kid.![]()
Happy Joe's taco pizza is the shit.bahua wrote: You mean Happy Joe's that's all over Eastern Iowa, Southwestern Wisconsin, and Northeast Illinois? I lived on their taco pizza when I was in college. That's a surprise that they were once this far southwest.
