I have a list of these joints in my mind for years. The ELectric Maid Cafe, in Takoma PArk, Md, The Home Cafe in Loma Linda California, Stavers' Original Resturant in Colton, Calif, (When I was a dental student, I used to study late nights here and frequently had little money so I would leave a toothbrush as a tip)

The Oakwood Cafe in Dalton, Georgia, The Greenlawn and Brown Cow Driveins in Zanesville, Ohio. Charberts on High Street in Columbus, Ohio. Oggies in Cambridge, Ohio,

The Alpha In WHeeling West Virginia, (actually a bar, but since I am on a roll, one other bar comes to mind that was a great haunt with decent food and great atmosphere, the Top of the Hat Lounge and Pool Hall in Mexican Hat Utah, just off the Navajo Reservation where I worked for a while. Sorry for the thread drift but these fine establishments take me back in time! I might plan a road trip to see how many are still around.
