CrabR Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 We called Little Tavern "club LT" we use to hit it on the way home from georgetown on Fri and Sat nights We used to cruise Hot Shoppes and Topps drive in. Hot Shoppes was for the 'clicks' and Topps was for the 'greasers' I did not like gino's or Red Barn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanos Posted February 24, 2006 Author Share Posted February 24, 2006 The Last Hot Shoppes lasted until the 90's in PG County..... There was one in Bailye's Crossroads in maybe 9 or 2000.I ate there about a week before it closed. I forgot all about Burger Chef.I remeber a Jack N The Box in Oxon Hill. The craziest place was Chicken George's Chicken Shack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stwasm Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I don't remember the Little Tavern, but my family and I always went to the Landover Mall Hot Shoppes. I LOVED Gino's burgers and Red Barn had great chicken. I always liked "The Rancher" at Burger King. Ah, good memories! Thanks for posting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thanos Posted February 24, 2006 Author Share Posted February 24, 2006 Man, I forgot all about Lum's. Though not a full restaurant Ferrell's and Caravelle's (sp) were great ice cream joints. For some strange reason's Shakey's is still around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegionOfDoom Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Church's Chicken(Portland St now Malcolm X in SE DC)....Shakeys(Silver Hill)......Arthur Treachers(Marlow Heights)(Still Around on St.Barnabas Rd)....Chesapeake Bay Seafood House..... Thise were some good places...you can't pay me to go to Arthur Treachers..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pseto Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 What's wrong with Shakey's and Arthur Treachers? Never been to Lum's but I remember the one in Lanham. Church's and Golden Skillet was good. As for buffet places, anyone remember Fabulous Feast (Forestville)? Jack-in-the-Box still exists, but mainly in the MidWest and West Coast. Went to one a few years ago in Dallas, and wasn't impressed. Chesapeake Bay Seafood House was the bomb back in the day. We used to get the waiter to hook us up by having one person get the $20+ Alaskan Crab Legs, and everyone else got the $5 fish. He would bring us anything we would want, as long as we tipped him good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pseto Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Though not a full restaurant Ferrell's and Caravelle's (sp) were great ice cream joints. Anyone NOT have a birthday at Farrells? People used to go crazy when someone got that big huge ice cream sundae that could feed like 10+ people and they brought it out on a red stretcher, ring bells, sound the sirens, and run around like idiots!!! It was great. Plus, they had the best candy store ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOF44 Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I loved Farrell's used to get the Sasperila. Anyone remember the Spaghetti Mill in Annadale VA? Loved that place when I was a kid. Great sourdoough bread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegionOfDoom Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Arthur Treachers in Marlow Heights is a dump.....Farrells was indeed the best we would go to the one in Springfield Mall on Birthdays....they were some very enthusiastic employees....

Sarge Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Are there any Shakey's or Godfathers pizzas left around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCB Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Wow, serious nostalgia! Horn & Horn was wild: I hadn't thought of that in years, but my Dad and I used to hit the one on Rockville Pike every so often. As for Little Tavern, one of my good friends used to refer to their burgers as death balls. We swore off them early in high school, as the gastric consequences were too great.

Thanos Posted February 24, 2006 Author Share Posted February 24, 2006 The same Shakey's is off Silver Hill Rd. near the RV palce..........I think.Godfather's is no longer in Metro DC. Arthur Treacher's in in Marlow Heights was a dump in the early 80's,I know its a cesspool now.Red Barn same thing along with Johnny Boy and Little Chicken Wing and Danny's were heart-attacks waiting to happen. Ok, if you really want to go back in time.I remember when they have little restaurants in the back of Murray's and Woolworth's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntotoro Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Didn't all the local Gino's become KFC's in this area? I remember Gino's also had Col Sanders with all his crazy herbs & spices. Loved Red Barn. Used to get the Barney Buster (or whatever) when I was a kid. When we lived in Falls Church, there used to be one right near the Frozen Custard Stand. Wasn't there a Hot Shoppes in Tysons... ? I remember there was also a Burger Chef right across the street from Tysons and a Jack in the Box where the Taco Bell now stands at the intersection of Gallows and 29. That freaking Pizza Hut has been there forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There used to be a restaurant in the People's Drug (now CVS) in Yorktowne Shopping Center at the intersection of Gallows and 50. My Dad owned a Barber Shop in there (Mark I Men's Hairstylists) until '86. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
