I imagine the place will be more profitable with the seafood menu, but I kinda hate to see places like this disappear. Used to be, every town had a place to get good fried chicken. We didn't travel much when I was young, but if we were going down the state (to far to live for long out of the old ice chest), we'd always find a place like this to stop, rest, and "fill up!"
Had an old buddy, Craig J, that worked at the Double Cola bottling plant in Quincy and about twice a year he'd drive the owner to Tampa for some sort of corporate meeting and they'd always drive down by the coast. I couldn't tell you the name of the place, but there was a little mom and pop joint they'd stop at above Tampa that he claimed had the best hamburgers in the state. To draw interest, the owners had a cage outside with an orangutan in it (where they got it is anybody's guess). After they finished eating, they stopped to look at the orangutan. Mr. Phil, the owner, remarked to Craig that the orangutan was the "ugliest SOB he'd ever seen" and they both had a big laugh. Evidently the orangutan was offended and he promptly sh!t in his hand at threw it at them, hitting Mr. Phil in the head! Craig said it took him about 10 minutes to restrain Mr. Phil and keep him from going in the cage to fight the orangutan! There was just something special about all the old time greasy spoons that Chick Filet, et al can't replicate.
