mkultra25 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 (edited) Also a place called Fishermen s Wharf, I think it was near the astrodome, had a 7 or so course meal and it was fantastic, at least when I was a kid. I remember the big biscuits and strawberry jelly Dermeris BBQ too Demeris isn't defunct, they just moved from the old location on Hempstead to a new outpost in the strip center on the corner of 18th & 610. And of course the W. Alabama location is still where it's always been. Edited July 11, 2015 by mkultra25 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brucesw Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Yes. After about 10 years on Westheimer @ Mandell, the restaurant moved out on Memorial just east of Dairy Ashford, as I recall. Ca. late 70s-early 80s. I went only once. It lacked the charm of the original for me. I don't think it lasted but 4 or 5 years there.

Ca. late 70s-early 80s. I went only once. It lacked the charm of the original for me. I don't think it lasted but 4 or 5 years there. I worked there in the summer of '77. Kitchen prep work, and desserts. Ari was a great man to work for. My parents ate there every Friday, until I told them Ari's stepson was spitting in the food.

nerevar59 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Ari's G. was on Westheimer....did it move to Memorial?? I worked at Ari's from May '77 to Aug. '77. I was the dessert "chef", and made the French onion soup, and the garlic bread. Ari had a direct phone line installed from the kitchen to the bar, and we could order whatever we wanted. My favorite waitress was GiGi. Ari would let us have steaks after work, and we would go out to his house on some weekends to work on his property.

bpdougd Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 If you like seafood AND are old enough, you might remember:1. Jimmy Walkers (now Landry's in Kemah)2. The San Jacinto Inn (near Battleship Texas)3. Tomek's (we'll make the location a trivia question). IIRC Tomek's was on Old Galveston somewhere south of where 610 now sits. My mom loved the steaks there (in the early 60's) but drove the chef to distraction. She wanted a moist, juicy steak but freaked if there was even a hint of pink. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, mkultra, but you have forgotten an incarnation of the building. Before Zone d'Erotica it was a head shop named the Houston 420. The 420 is what replaced Luke's, after sitting dormant for several years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zenjive Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Does anyone remember El Yucatan on Hwy 6, about a block or two south of I-10? It was just south of Grisby on the west side of 6. It closed around 2002-2004. They had hundreds of photos of Pancho Villa on the walls. Tucked away on one of these walls was a small print of what looked like somebody in a panda suit "wrestling" with a nun in a sort of nature scene. It was quite magnificent! I really wish I had a camera phone back then, because I have yet to find this image anywhere on the internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
