Kips. Are There any Left

[JP135]

We used to go to the one by where north hills mall used to be. It was on the north side of 820 by Red lobster, IIRC.

That's been a minute or two ago. North Hills Mall too.

I remember Kips and Shoneys Big Boy restaurants growing up as well as Wyatts cafeteria

mmmmm Wyatts! I remember that place!

I never been to a Kips when it was down here. I know when I am in LA I go to the Big Boys in Burbank! Damn good place! Great car show on Friday nights!

Kinda in carrollton or farmers branch.

Building is still there. Still a cafe last I saw...

Collins and Randoll Mill, been gone a long time. Too salty for my taste.

I gotcha on that one! I did a chick in the bathroom of the Bonanza at Josey and Valley View. Next to Alberstons....same store that used to be Skaggs. God Damn I had totally forgotten about that!!....damn I'm old now....but thanks still Brian for unlodging that memory!!

Yep, on Bedford Euless Rd, right where it split off from Grapevine Hwy. I remember that one well.

The last "Big Boy" restaurant I ate ate was in Barstow, CA. That was about 5 years ago. Still delicious.

What was that restaurant in Lewisville that served their food in cardboard Cadillacs?

Like a Japanese cowboy or a brother on skates
Like a blizzard in Georgia or a train runnin' late
I call out your name girl in the heat of the night
And nobody answers 'cause somethin' ain't right

Breakfast at Shoney's at $2.99
Saved me some money and eased up my mind
I'm walkin' in circles and feelin' the pain
I'm tossin' and turnin' and cryin' in vain

Like a Japanese cowboy or a brother on skates
Like a blizzard in Georgia or a train runnin' late
I call out your name girl in the heat of the night
And nobody answers 'cause somethin' ain't right

I'm ridin' at midnight and crossin' the line
From the rain in my windshield and the tears in my eyes
Now the bedroom is empty and I spent my last dime
And the lovers are leavin', I got nothin' but time,
I got you on my mind

Like a Japanese cowboy or a brother on skates
Like a blizzard in Georgia or a train runnin' late
I call out your name girl in the heat of the night
And nobody answers 'cause somethin' ain't right

I only went once to the Big Boy in Richardson, soon after I arrived here in the late 60's.

Does anyone (have to be an old fart) remember the Pig Stand Drive Inns in and around Dallas? I don't remember much about their sandwiches, but they had the best thick malts around. The one I remember was down near White Rock Lake at Garland Road and Gaston.

I think all of the kips are gone, the closest bobs big boy is in Indiana, or San Diego.

Bob's are all over SoCal.

Another similar to Kips was Sambo's. Hmm, I wonder why they aren't still around.

I ate at a Kips in Detroit a couple of years ago near Belle Isle.
