Name that Roadfood Restaurant!!

My only guess is Pancake Pantry but I don't feel that is right


....maybe the Bumbleberry Inn?

  Whew! That was EXAUSTING!!  I just can't look at another pancake right now,So I'm going to guess John O'Groats in L.A. ? they have 3 pronged forks and funny shaped knives ........

Wow, Dawn, I think that's right...looks good to me...guess we'll wait to hear from mayor al. His are tough aren't they...he doesn't have the pictures and reports as much as buffetbuster. How'd you track it down?

Hmmm, I had a bowl of oatmeal (with bananas) at John O'Groats last Thursday and although I didn't use a fork, I sure didn't notice that they only had 3 tines.

Doesn't look familiar to me, but I only guess if it's been somewhere I've eaten.

It's driving me mad...I need to know...the only thing about John O'Groats is there's no blueberry pancakes on the menu (assuming that's what they are)...but they do have blueberries so it could of course be.

...maybe Fuller's Coffee Shop? Mayor Al where are you? Tell me...

 Oh Marlene! That is so funny, my Grandma always said " It's not real oatmeal unless you can eat it with a fork!" brought back a happy memory...  As to guessing the place; I'm just going by the pics. in the review :  fork,knife,dark colored coffee cup etc. all seem to match. BUT  our esteemed Mayor seems to generally campaign in the eastern half of our great nation,so...? I could very well be WRONG!! 

AHI MPLS-
But don't forget that our esteemed Mayor grew up in Southern California!

Buffetbuster...do you happen to know if any guesses are correct? It's driving me mad (plus I want another challenge :P)....and Mayor Al is probably off having a Thanksgiving feast....

Sorry ETR, I have no clue on this one.

ETR-
  You hit it with your second guess.
The pancakes and bacon are at the Springdale Cafe in Springdale, Utah...also known as the Bumbleberry Inn !
 

 Okay ETR, Get ready to RUMBLE!!! kidding of course   nice job!  But now wait a sec, I thought that all the restaurants had to be in the Reviews ....? paging TTM, clarification please...

Sweet That was a tough one. That place looks amazing, I would love to eat there. It was tough because they were Bumbleberry not Blueberry pancakes. Sneaky, but...

AHI MPLS

I thought that was the case too. Anyone want to put up another challenge?

 I could try to DESCRIBE a place... but in this case I think a picture is worth about 24 thousand words.....

If it had to be on the 'reviewed' list, I am sorry for not following the rule. It was included in our trip report on the Utah National Park circuit we made a couple of years ago. Springdale is right outside the entrance to Zion National Park. I recommend this tourist focused cafe for the Berry treats and the fantastic scenery  more than a big meal-deal. That plate of pancakes with 2 pieces of Bacon was about $8.00. That is more than my usual breakfast budget.

...but it probably lasted you till dinner, huh?

I'm a very unhappy roadfooder right now. Thanks to some major bungling on the part of AT&T, I've been offline for the past seven days, and this caused me to miss out on that Wilton's Candy Kitchen photo. Finally one that I probably would have guessed first, as this picture shows, and I get cheated out of my big chance. Thanks a lot, AT&T!! 

 Say Hey, Bob!! glad to have you back Something about yor pics. make my computer go all wonky...I can't look at your reports or Billyboy's Burger thread. Any ideas for me ? Anyone?!    Sorry 'bout the little hijack... And Mr. Mayor, I read and very much enjoyed that dang trip report, Even chuckled at the word " Bumbleberry "   I should have Bemembered ....

Since no one has posted a new one I'll put one up...I bet Dawn gets this quickly:

Anyone want to throw out some guesses?     

Dawn? Buffetbuster? Travelin Man? Wanderingjew? Anybody? Someone wanna guess...or shall I just tell it? How about we'll let it go a bit but does someone want to post another challenge for us?

 Wow! I've been gone nearly a week and nobody else is playing in our reindeer games!! ETR, give me an hour or so to look...that countertop DOES look sort of familiar, Hmmmm... I'LL BE BACK! 

.....

 Sigh...  I guess I'd better throw in the moist towelette. can't find that rascal ANYWHERE.

....well...we know it's a sticky bun....one of the best....

 I really can't handle NOT submitting a guess, So I'm gonna go ahead and guess Baba A Louis in Vermont...  or was it Louie...... Hmmm......

YES!!! That's right. Good job
http://roadfood.com/Resta...eviews/1850/baba-louis

See....ya just gotta throw it out there. I bet that was one of your first guesses, huh?

Now we need someone else to put something up.

 Sheesh!! that WAS one of my first thoughts!! no more sweets for a while okay? I'm getting cybersugar overloaded! 

AHI MPLS

Do they play this song there?:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADAoLp_VxfM

  Very nice Pizzanut!!! I was positive that it was going to be Ricky Riccardo!!  

I don't think he was into doo wop.

That was a great song...I love me some Doo Wop!

I live for doo wop.  Whatcha need?

How about a list of your favorite songs?

How about a list of your favorite songs?

You want them by PM or email or on your facebook or where?  Doo wop only or also old rock in general?  My specialty is 50s and early 60s stuff.

PM works...how about two separate lists

You can find all kinds of lists of great old doo wop and rock n roll by Googling the subjects - every one has their preferences - I usually look at the hits of each year to be sure I didn't miss anything.  Look here:

Thanks, Chief.

My guess is The Whistle Stop in Ridgefield, CT:
http://www.roadfood.com/R...eviews/64/whistle-stop

...just teasing, but if someone would like to post a challenge that train will hop right back on the tracks.

Fritz's

Without Mr. BB around we don't have any challenges

Think the real problem is that the forum got into a train wreck.........................you know?.....like off-track.                                                                                              

OK, I'll give you another easy one. I am playing by the rules this time.

Mr. Mayor...I do believe that is the Brown Hotel in Louisville.
http://www.roadfood.com/R...eviews/617/brown-hotel

Thanks for posting a pic...got any others?

Since I posted that breakfast photo in a thread about Louisville some time ago, I can only figure that you are tracing our previous posts to locate the info about a photo.  You are correct in the location.

mayor al, I will not divulge my sleuthing techniques (it actually varies each time depending on the poster, the photo and the clues available) but yes you did post that after your trip...I think back in January or February of 2006. On yours...since they're from so far back, sometimes it's tough. They switched over the forum software (or updated) and the older posts don't always come up right but you can tell the data is there.

You got another one for us? Yours are pretty tough.

Al, if you right click on your photo it shows the insider address.  With that information it's easier to find.

Next time save the picture to desktop, go to www.tinypic.com upload it and give it a new hosting address.

Then post it and see how long it takes.

Got to play on an even field.

mar52, sneaky...but not how I did it. This particular one I did search through old forum reports...the hard part was that it wasn't from a mayor al report...it was from Oneiron339 back in October 2005.
http://www.roadfood.com/F...-Feb-2006-m164927.aspx

This one will probably be easy also. Pov Pete is disqualified cuz he's in the photo.

I'm confused...it's not Hunt's, not Wintzell's, not Peg Leg Pete's, not Swan's Oyster Depot, not Humpy's, not the Moon River....I don't know.

Close, but no prize, yet! At least you are in the right region of the country.  The place has been visited by many roadfooders with mixed reviews.

  Well I can't see Pete's feet, but I'm guessing that they might be BARE!!   Crab Shack, Tybee Island??

How the heck did you get that?!
http://www.thecrabshack.com/

I really cannot believe your lack of respect for others' property.  You took a picture off of The Crab Shack's web site and saved it - hosted on your own web site?

I was merely trying to show the tables, with the trash cans and the raised middle.

 I'm a fan of the live gator cam...I also enjoy watching the kitchen staff on The Big Texan's pig out cam.

How'd you get that last one?

Call it whatever you want, but you took something that didn't belong to you without the owner's permission.  We've had this discussion before and you played the "I didn't know I was doing anything wrong" routine.  It is people like you that are causing me to post less and less of my own original stuff anywhere online.
