Yes! I loved Zider Zee. It later became the First Wendy's in Houston. I lived in Sharpstown so I remember BURGER row, in this order: Herfy's Burger King McDonalds Wendys Jack in the Box Then there was also the Ground Patti. It was a block off fondren facing the Sharpstown Mall. I remember they had a really kewl sound set up with dual reel to reels behind glass. And we had a Shakey's over on Hillcroft which later became Anotonio's Flying Pizza. There was a Shakey's in Stafford, TX that became Golden Bridge Restaurant. The original Los Tios is gone. It was over on Bissonnet and Fondren. They are no longer owned by the Garbett's. I grew up with Michael Garbett. I remember there was a good Mexican restaurant over near the old chili's on Bissonnet across the street from the old TGI Friday's. But I cant remember the name. Also, does anyone remember New York New York Pizza over on Gessner and Westpark? Anyone remember how Westpark was rerouted there? And lets see, what else... man I could go on all day... There was a Mr Gatti's on Bellaire and Corporate, down close to the Del Taco, near the Lewis and Coker grocery store next to the Cafeteria, but I dont think it was a Wyatt's. OH! It was a Furr's Cafeteria, HAH! Okay, lemme keep going... Remember a Tony Roma's on Richmond? Remember Circus Circus on Richmond? THey had great burgers. AH, here is a GOOD one... the NIGHT HAWK on Westheimer, down near Fondren. All the truckers used to go there. House of Pancakes on the corner of Bellaire and Fondren behind the old Safeway. Wan Fu chinese restaurant NEXT TO the old Safeway (and the old Demeris BBQ). Does anyone remember that big cafetieria type restaurant NEXT TO Farrel's in the Galleria? I think it was called the Cooquery or the Cookery. YES I remember the old A&W by the way, and the Princess on Hillcroft. But do you remember the original Long John Silver's on Hillcroft? THey used to give kids the pirate hats and chocolate dubloon candies. Remember the Monterrey House on Fondren near Richmond? It is a Fajita Flats now. Remember when the Shartpstown Mall was 1 story and there were nice restaurants in it and that huge glockenspiel? Remember when Westwood Mall had a theater in it? Remember when Memorial City was an OUTSIDE mall like Meyerland? Remember when your mom took you to the original Sears downtown and you got a free cookie at the deli counter? Then there are a couple places in the Heights my parents used to take me, but I was too young to read or remember the names of them. I just remember that back then, restaurants didnt have booster chairs so they just used to ask how many phone books I needed to sit on. Now I have regressed back to about 4 years old... Thanks a lot guys!!!
