The daughter is trying to resurrect it and I wish her luck. My pretty reliable sources said they haven’t picked the location yet. Hopefully we’ll all be eating cheese fries in 2023!
It closed due to what was essentially a custody battle between the owners. Not really fair to say it was because of the food. It was obviously profitable if it’s making a comeback. The lawsuit was likely just settled.
True, but for about a decade prior to their final demise the owners didn’t appear to do much to refresh their restaurant. The furnishings and restaurant trade fixtures in the restaurants were breaking down and they didn’t spend the capital to replace them. Back in the late ‘80’s I remember they actually had to hire front door security at some locations because the demand was so high and they obviously wouldn’t take reservations.
That’s a very valid point. Even in my childhood (90s), it was never packed. A newish owner, new location, and a reopening gives them a chance to refresh it all though.
But that still doesn’t mean the food was bad, and it’s definitely still not the reason they closed.
My late brother Paul & I had a telecommunications company called Salt Lake Telephone in the late 70’s & early 80’s. We sold & installed the phone system when the Training table opened. Our selling point for using telephones.
“You will save money by employing less staff for service. Customers can place their order directly to the kitchen by phone.”
I was mugged at gunpoint near that place. I was a weirdo with no wallet or cash, so the person was upset. He knocked my pencil and notepad out of my hand and ran off. I should have offered to draw him a picture, but I was scared that I might die. At the time, dying concerned me.
