Also remember: Sansones (S'port Barksdale Hwy), Pizza Inn (Kings and Youree), Shaky's Pizza (Shreve City), and the Alphies Fish and Chips (Pierremont). Wasn't Weismans the place that always had the huge pot of soup where you served yourself? Seems to me I remember going there when I was in college. The Big Chain Cafeteria in Shreve City was another favourite place to go with my grandmother - for dessert. They always had Butter Roll, which she said was just like her grandmother used to make it. Didn't Shreve City also used to have a Woolworth's with a lunch counter? I remember eating fried shrimp there. Is Strawn's Eat Shop still across from Centenary with their fresh strawberry and peach pies in season? |
Add Freeman and Harris and Pete Harris cafe to the list of gone but not forgotton.
I would take my Canadian relatives there when they visit, to have a taste of southern cookin'. I didn't think it was worth the trip otherwise. |

I thought of another two more that I don't know if they are still there or not - Kon Tiki (in the 70s we thought it very exotic to eat there) and Brocato's. |
Thanks for some memories decolady !
A little off topic but any of you techsters eat at the Blue Light? There was another soul food place in Ruston I onlywent to once and cannot recall the name but we always went to the Blue Light. |

When I was at Tech (72-76) we used to go to the Pitt Grill a lot. Also some Mexican food place on California in a shopping centre next to the K&B Drugstore. And Bonanza on Tuesdays, which was ladies night. On Wednesday nights after astronomy lab we went for pizza. Forget whether it was Pizza Hut or Pizza Inn, but it was also on California. |
Kon Tiki is still open and exactly the same.
Brocatos was the last of its generation to close, but close it did about 5-ish years ago. It's a photography studio now. I think Superior Bar & Grill bought the neon fish sign. |
...and it turned out the treasure was in Betty Virginia Park.

But guess what they are starting to get chains! They have a Chili's and an Applebee's! Times are a changing indeed!:D |
Why would anyone purposely eat at a TGI Friday's? Especially if there are any other restaurants open.

While still on the subject of Ruston... I heard that Stow's closed, may be closing, or is at least for sale. :(
RIP Stow's, a home away from home. |

I see in the paper today that Marion Spataro has died. Anyone remember Spataro's rest. in the Remington,downtown? You would if you had one of his steaks!:D Delicious! I knew him originally from when he owned "The Circle In The Square" all those years. I remember his office was COVERED in Autographs from people like Robin Trowers and Stevie Ray Vaughn, to PANTERA(who eventually met their singer in that bar!). I ran into Marion recently(actually I changed his flat for him) and he seemed in good health- Anyway, just wondering if any of yall remember him.....? :peace:
