I never had a burger there either, always an ice cream cone which was a real treat back in the day circa ‘68

If you were there in 68 , don't you rembreme Art's?

I remember Art's Steakhouse. Never ate there but remember it was considered a big deal.

My dad is still with me, but trips to Ralph's, In & Out, or Murphy's Pub were always with my dad... usually after some sporting event, or in the case of Murphy's pub watching a sporting event on their Satellite especially when we were on probation.

Damn ... I almost forgot about the satellite tv work around. LOL.

Thanks. I almost thought I was cracking up.

Art's was way down 441 on the other side of the Prairie, wasn't it?

Yes. I keep talking about poor grad students and we were, as were most of my friends. But they were good times. My memory is that a steak at Art's was $3 and a cheese ball came with the dinner which hungry grad students devoured.
As science students methanol was readily available, but it was poisonous. Someone concocted the story that electron multipliers could only be cleaned with pure ethanol. So drinks for a bash consisted of sodas laced with ethanol. Our advisor turned a blind eye and came to at least one party and drank enough so that he promised to include a student's name on a paper. When sober, he was too embarrassed to renege. Good times.
But yes, Art's was on the edge of Payne's Prairie.

Tex-Mex is putting everyone else out of business except for the store front Chinese....

Dang! We had an end of the the year banquet there in the private room for a law school group I was in a little while back. That place was pretty good.

It's rather surprising they weren't sued by Disney.

They were around long before Disney

I do not remember Art’s. I was 11 years old and I only went where the parents took us and we moved away a year later when I was 12.

I vaguely remember a diner style restaurant somewhere around 16th Ave and either 6th or 13th Street but I cannot recall the name. You could get breakfast lunch or dinner anytime. It was still there in the late seventies but I don’t know how long it lasted after that. Anybody remember the name?

You guys must be too young to remember the Primrose Inn. It was a great place for a poor college kid to take a date for a real good meal at a great price. I took my wife there several times back in the late 70’s when I was trying to impress her

That's it! Couldn't remember the name of the place... they had some sort of cream style corn that I always associated with Gator games as a little kid.

Over the years we have eaten in much fancier restaurants, but I am not sure we have found one that my wife liked better. Probably a good choice to impress your wife as well.
