Restaurants of Yore

How about Lee's Den on South Main. I have a friend who
still misses their special won ton soup. Anybody know
what happened to the restaurant (or where to get a
comparable bowl of soup?).

Replying to a post from 15 years ago! Lee's Den was a great place from my childhood too.

My dad had a restaurant on Willowbend off of South Main where you would be heading west. It was there from the early sixties to the early eighties. It was Mel's Pit Bar-B-Que. It had lots of western items on the walls and a old wagon on the roof outside.

(my foot actually went through the floor one night) - but what a feed!
Later, they built a larger place at the same location, but it wasn't
the same.
Valian's Steak House - S. Main, across from where The Shamrock Hotel
was. I remember the ceiling was blue, with painted stars.
Alfred's in The Village - Wonderful soups and breads. Just the thing
to satisfy hungry student types.
The Cellar Door on Stella Link - This was our "special" restaurant
when I was young and "in love".
Hamburgers by Gourmet - various locations (I recall the one at Yoakum
and Alabama the best). You placed your order from your table via an
old-timey telephone. I can still taste their Hickory Burger.
Rolando's Burger Factory - various locations. Always good - and cheap!
There was a little BBQ place which I can't recall the name of. We
went south on Main for a long way (it was kind of in the country
then), and turned right (west) on some street. It was named after the
owner. I want to say "Mel's", but maybe that's not right.
Any other old-timers out there?

Looking for the Cellar Door Cheese Spread recipe, and the Salad Dressing on their delicious salads; what a treat!

Do you remember Jaime's on Main Steet. It was a two story house ... served hamburgers. This would have been late 60's!
