I’m trying to track down the name of a restaurant from the mid-90s as a kid that I used to go.
The main thing was the decor: the walls and ceilings were absolutely packed with vintage signs, antique lamps, and kitschy Americana – think “American Pickers” vibes but way busier than a Red Robin. I remember a lot of Tiffany-style hanging lights, but the clutter on the walls was the real standout feature. I don’t know if it was real or manufactured just for the restaurant.
Here’s what I remember:
Locations: I think they had maybe 3 locations (I recall going to at least two). One was definitely on the Eastside.
Vibe: Very “antique warehouse” or “vintage garage” feel.
Food: Standard American stuff – burgers, fries, steaks, and salads. No singing waiters or gimmick plate, just a normal sit-down spot with over-the-top decor. I recall big servings, but not like Claim Jumper level.
Does anyone remember a small local or regional chain that fits this description?
Thanks for the help!
