It is no longer there, but Terrells restaurant on 287 in Decatur.
It burned 20 25 years ago.
Best memories were on Friday nights when the football team played away. we were always taken to Terrells when we got back to town for a late dinner. Dinner was always a big chicken fried steak with all the trimmings
Also remember There fried chicken on Sundays after church.......

Shakey's Pizza
They had one hour long movies playing in one section and games in another. Don't remember the food, just how much fun the place was. I loved that place. My dads parents lived in Rockwall and used to take me and my brother there. I thought it was great because we could stand at the window and see them making pizza. And like you said they always had some sort of entertainment on the stage like Laurel and Hardy, cartoons or sometimes a guy playing a Banjo. Same thing everytime - Black Olive pizza, pitcher of beer for grandad and pitcher of root beer for us. Other places I miss or brings back memories Bealls 5 for $1 hamburgers Stuckey's pecan logs Kip's Big Boys Hot Fudge sundays Plenty of Underwoods in Sherman Our wedding rehearsal dinner was at K-Bobs Wedding night was Old San Francisco

The 1960's were awesome as a kid. I did lots of travelling by car with my parents. No fast food really. What was fast food to us was Keller's in Dallas, Kips, Stuckey's, Nickerson farms and some independent burger places in small towns, all of which were awesome to my taste buds! I remember Dutch's in Quanah (doughnuts!), Also the Western Sky steakhouse in San Angelo which might still be there, A fabulous smokehouse in Alvord on the highway which is long gone, the Red Rider truck stop up on 287 with it's tiny shack of a diner and a huge oil derrick, and the best enchiladas on earth at every truck stop we stopped at! They all knew the secret because they all tasted the same! Greasy, heaps of lettuce tomato and cheese and a flavor I've never found since & served on a fajita plate with a stainless steel insert. Where can I find these now! Were they really so good or does everything just taste better when you're a kid  List your favorites and the memories you made :))
I'll post pics THANK YOU! I'm sure they still have their Garlic crusted steaks! I need a photo of those :)) Well, We went and it was awesome! You were lucky to be eating those as a kid. Didn't get a photo - sorry - we were chowing down on the steaks. Very interesting way to cook them for sure.

Back in 1970 we used to go to a Shakey's Pizza in Ft. Worth that had all you could eat pizza/salad every Wed for a $1.99 and pitchers of Coors or Bud for a buck. Me and my college buddies never ate much pizza but we drank enough beer to float a battleship in the place. We went there almost every wed for a year until the TABC busted the place for serving underage college kids.. Ahh, the good old days.  (1970's Shakey's menu below)
