Click on the title to pull it up in street-view. Isn't this the one we used to go to? I can remember eating here. I think this is the place Jake figured out how to get free games on the arcades by unplugging and plugging in the machine. I remember how you would go to the little windows inside to get your food, instead of the typical counter in places today. I can remember telling Pop we were still hungry and he would give us a dollar to go to the window and ask for something else.

I remember the place you are talking about and this looks like it but I remember it being in Fredricksburg-I think across from Kmart on Rt. 1. Also across from big Franks plant store.
I don't remember the arcade thing. I think we tried that a-lot at Shenandoah crossing with little results.
One memory I do have of the restaurant you are talking about is of Paula in a high chair and Mom telling us that pretty soon she would be noticing the little crumbs on the table and trying to pick them up.
This is pretty close to Fredericksburg and I think we would go here when we went there sometimes. I am not familiar with big Franks. Sounds like a hotdog stand. Sounds like we really had some lively conversations back then, huh? Crumbs...wow....
it looks like the restaurant we ate at in Manassas.It was in a Kmart shopping center!
Remember you pump your own hot sauce into little cups. The one on Old Centerville Rd is the oldest one and then they opened another one in the Kmart shopping center. This pic is the restaurant on old centerville rd. It is still opened. Pop and I ate there a few years back. The mexican food has always been great at both places we took you kids there alot!
They had the best little bowls of re-fried beans and cheese.
yes it was perfect baby food when you all were still eating soft foods! I think you all continued to order it as a favorite for years to come! They also had a juke box that you boys loved to put money into!
Yep..I remember getting those. To be honest, the building looked accurate, but I remembered the immediate surroundings to be different. I remembered grass and trees right up to at least one part of the building whereas this seems to be surrounded in concrete. I must be remembering the Kmart location.
