The local Cafeterias

Was just about to update that to say it looks like they still exist, 'specially in yer neck of the woods.

They surprisingly have a shit ton of locations still apparently (especially internationally).

Big Boy is supposed to be real big in Japan.

Good for them.

We had one very close until just before COVID.

Loved their shakes.

Hopefully all those foreigners enjoy StrawberryFest as much as I used to.

I thought about eating at Bennigans last week. But it looked busy.

Need to stop in there before it’s too late.

Are these buffets?

Not sure I ever saw a restaurant call themselves a cafeteria.

My wife and I would eat here when we dated in high school.
I think it was just a local joint.

Lots of Cafeterias in OKC back then, all local.

All gone now.

These guys had live music sometimes.
Pizza was good.
They gave you a playing card when you ordered, then you listened for them to call it out when it was ready.

Folded Up
Gone

"Queen of Spades your pizza is ready"

Reminds me of Morrison's Cafeteria. I believe they originated in FL back in the 1940's or 50's, and spread throught many southern states. We used to hit them up whenever we'd be down in Lexington KY every so often, pretty decent food, but I think they closed down all their locations years ago

I’m actually supposed to be going to Japan next month for work for a month or so. I’m gonna look for it just because.

I tried to, but then got accused of cultural appropriation. Like the Thai were the only people to ever “tuck”.

Yeah.... I remember them. When we went to visit our grandparents in Jupiter, FL as kids, they used to take us out to Morrison's Cafeteria for lunch after church. Us kids liked it a lot. Every dish is a "side dish", picked what we wanted, moved thru the cashier and my Grandfather standing there ready with his wallet!

Note: This was in the late 50s thru the late 60s...
