If the ones at McAlister's are anything like Jason's Deli, they are probably pretty good.

I had a Jason's Deli Muffaletta today for lunch!! Have to say I have never eaten a better one! Thanks for the tip!!!!!!!!!!

CarltonsKeeper must have reached a Hispanic working in a French restaurant.

I am glad you found one.

I miss Amspachers! Best chicken-salad in the world (after Moms)..:tiphat:

I just called La Baguette on N. May and the muffaletta is on
the menu. You don't have to order 35.

La Baguette 840-3047

I'm guessing this would be good. I've never be disappointed in the food at La Baguette, whether N. May or the ones in Norman (different operators).

It's remarkable to me that a "chain" like Jason's can be consistently good. I like both their traditional Muffaletta and the turkey version. They also make a killer Reuben or turkey Reuben.

They are also advertising a vegeterian Muffaletta!! Probably good, but I like the meat!!

I agree....

I'm no muffaletta expert but the one I had at McAlister's on Sunday was pretty tasty.

Some of the bet places i remember from my younger days were Sammys pizza on N. Western along with Shotgun Sams on May and 39th having some pretty decent pizza. I also recall a place off of britton and may ave i think it was called the great american railroad.

It was where the Ranch Steakhouse is now. It's owned by the
Mathis Bros.

Ok I know I will get alot Of mixed Opinions on this one. Roy Rogers , I really liked the place & It was on north May and their was a small Kerr McGee service station next door just to the south. I also worked their as a teenager pumping gas. Roy Rogers and Shotgun Sams I miss them both.

I liked Roy Rogers, went to the NW 39th Street location and the one in Norman on Lindsay quite often. They still exist from Virginia to NYC. I grew up going to Shotgun's.

Roy Rogers was pretty good. I remember back in the day taco-tico used to be pretty good,there was one at about 45th and N May. Sadly i tried one out in Wichita a few months ago and it was horrid. BTW if anyone has the recipe and can duplicate a Shotgun Sams pie i would gladly pay extra.

Another thumbs up for Roy. Went to the one on Lincoln and at SW59th. Would like to have a Double R right now!!!

there's something your kids will never remember:.........Pumping Gas.....(as a service)...how about checking the oil and the air in the tires...or, "topping" off the fluids...even anti-freeze?.....the kids do know that you have to do those things don't they?

That's a good one! Fill'er up, sir? There are only a couple in
town that still provide that service. Cleaning the windshield!
Remember how in the winter they didn't use the spray because
it'd freeze?

I realize it is a little off topic. But, it was like a restaurant to me when my mom or dad would ask:...want a coke?...can I have an RC Cola? and some peanuts.....The peanuts would be in a penny vending machine and my dad would give me 3 or 4 cents and buy the RC....Dinner in heaven I thought.....a true restaurant in the car....you would be so careful NOT to SPILL the drink....Not because you'd get in trouble but because you wanted to savor every ounce.....sometimes I'd get a Grapette and moon pie....Redneck I'm sure and proud of it. I couldn't eat a moon pie now to save myself. I bet pennyquilts was a moonpie person, I know Carltonskeeper was and probably still is.

Yes its a Service that almost dead & I really enjoyed the work and I also changed Oil & Filters & fixed flats. I learned so much from this job as a teenager that im an Auto Mechanic but thats not the profession that im in today , I miss the 70's I had a Bad A$$ 1969 Dodge Charger and when I would get off from the service station I would go race on NW 39th then end up at NW HI Way Drive Inn or Hillcrest Drive Inn. he, he, I lost my Virginity in that Dodge Charger with My first love and first Heartbreak.

It's not true in OKC yet, but kids in a lot of places will never know about dialing 7 digits instead of 10 to make a phone call. My sisters and niece are still surprised when they visit us down here in Arlington and have to dial the area code with every local call.

In New Jersey and Oregon it is illegal to pump your own gas. An Attendent at the station must do it for you. In New Jersey it is influenced by union pressure while in Oregon I am not sure, but it may be for some environmental issue. I used to like Roy Rodger's roast beef much better than Arby's. Roy Rodgers Roast beef was juicey while Arby's tastes dry to me. I am not sure what company owns Roy Rodgers now, but Marriot owned it at one time. I remember when they closed all of the Roy Rodger's in Oklahoma and Texas. For some reason it is still popular on the East Coast.

Roy Rogers. There's no D. It's an OCD thing.

Roy Rogers was different. Is there one in OKC? Where is the
nearest?

There are no Roy Rogers in this part of the country. They are primarily found on the east coast now.

Many years ago (grade school age) Roy Rodgers (notice the D) would come around the grade schools in OKC area and put on small time show....His gimmick was ventriloquism (sp) and a dog. He would always claim the Leonard Sly (Roy Rogers) had stolen his name and to keep his name he had to put a D in his last name....believed him for a long time. But, I still liked Roy Rogers (Leonard Sly)....Married in Sulphur, Oklahoma....to Dale Evans....

I think at one time the chain was discovered buying horse meat from Australia and using as a meat filler.

What the heck has that got to do with Roy Rogers eateries?

Sounds like Roy Rodgers worked for Roy Rogers boiling fries as his full-time occupation.

Yeah! I noticed that. Cincinnati appears to be the most western

be sure to eat there. It may be next year, though. Sad.

Does anyone remember Cattlemen's Cafeteria in Capitol Hill???? or Cattlemen's Drive-Inn?...I know Carltonskeeper does...

Does anyone remember Cattlemen's Cafeteria in Capitol Hill?
Yes! However, only until I visited this thread did I realize that
the place was called Cattlemen's Cafeteria. I remember curtains
along the wall. Dang! That was a loooooooong time ago.


... or Cattlemen's Drive-In? I know Carltonskeeper does...
I don't remember Cattlemen's Drive-In. Where was it?

In the mid to late '60's, I worked at FAA and the cafeteria in my building was a Cattlemens cafeteria. Does anybody else remember that or am I delusional. One thing they had for dessert was a baked apple wrapped up in pie dough. It was really good food and I think it was Cattlemens.

I believe you.

Was the Cattleman's Cafeteria kinda around where the old Knob Hill Theater was? Beside it? If not, then no I don't remember it.... LOL!!!

BTW Gens64.... I understood totally why you told the story about Roy RoDgers. Even though I'm a Spartan, I get it sometimes!!!!

It was very close, if not next door, to the Knob Hill. I think it
was to the west but I really don't know.

What do you understand about spelling Roy Rogers name wrong?
Am I missing something. Yes, I'm slow. But I'm old. Just not as...

Does anyone remember Dove's Drive In in Sulphur? There's
a Sonic in it's place, now. Where was the the turn around in
Davis? I cruised it for a month one night.

I remember Dove's also Ponder's "Super Dog"....the original Corn Dog. Cattlemen's Cafeteria was located to the west of the Knob Hill in OKC's first indoor mall. Yes, even before Shepherd Mall. The Southside was once again ahead of the Northside...It didn't work on the southside however. Cattlemens Drive-Inn was East of Packing town on Exchange...Southside of the street.....Rather "Rough" place in "the day"...Jimbo, I didn't know that they had satelite service in Sulphur but, Roy Rogers real name was Leonard Sly and for you other nostalgia buffs, Trigger's real registered name was White Cloud and he was NOT a Quarter Horse, he was a Tennessee Walker and was also the horse ridden by Olivia DeHaviland in Robin Hood....Another Trivia Question with a weird answer is that Pat Brady sang with Roy and the sons of the Pioneers....he was considered the commonly used "dufus" in their act. He was the one that used the term "Whoa Nelly" which has been around for ever and thus he named HIS node of transportation....."Nelly Belle"....

I'm am almost positive that Cattlemen's Cafeteria was to the EAST of the Knob Hill divided by a hall way!!

I'm am almost positive that Cattlemen's Cafeteria was to the EAST of the Knob Hill divided by a hall way!!

It was on the west side of Knob Hill. The address to the old Cattlemen's Cafeteria was 410 W. Commerce, the Knob Hill was at 404 W. Commerce. Found an ad in the Oklahoman archives in 1974.... daily specials.... meat & two vegetables for $1.10... and of course the Friday meat was always fish.

Uh:...thank you....thank you very much.

Lum's on NW23 across the street from OCU. All I can remember is the Lumburger and that I loved it. Anyone else remember this place and some of the other fare there?

I grew in Davis and know exactly where the turn around was, Ballard's Drivein on West side of Davis (Pizza Hut is located there now. The other drivein was on the North Side of Davis @ Womack's Drivein (Highyway 77 North). Drove between the two drivein's many miles every Friday and Saturday night. Also went to Sulphur to drag around Dove's on many occasions (where Love's is located now). Knew Gary Dove, son of the owner. Spent many nights at the move drivein theater just West of Dove's also watching movies.

I graduated from Davis in 66'

Roy Rogers and Dale Evans were actually married on Flying "L" Ranch just North of Doughtery Oklahoma, Southeast of Davis. They were filming a movie in the area at the time. John Wayne would come to Murray County from time to time to the Turner Ranch Cattle auctions.

Great to hear. I only got to cruise the strip once or twice. We
were camping at Platt National Park. I thought a Sonic was in
the old Dove's location, but you said a Love's. You would know.

Some questions and comments -
There was a restaurant on the west side of Lincoln, near the capitol. It was rustic and had mounted animal heads on the walls. It had been there when my uncle was stationed at Tinker in the mid-50's and was still there when I first moved to OKC in 1967. Later I think it was torn down when they expanded the capitol area. Anybody know what it was?

Was there more than one Buster T. Browns? We went to one at Reno and Meridian but I think there was one on the north side, too.

How about a cafeteria, maybe downtown, with a woman's first and last name. Gee, I'm really reaching back for these!

I lived in Oklahoma for 60 years before we moved to western Washington state. When we were back home in April, our first and last meals in town were the Del Rancho/Chuck House steak sandwiches. I took a picture and have carried it around like a pinup picture. The owner of our favorite brewpub showed it to the chef but it hasn't shown up on the menu yet.

Recently I was at a physical therapy session and the guys were talking about burger restaurants. One of them asked if anyone there had ever been to a Sonic. The closest one around here is an hour away. Uh, yeah, having lived in OKC for 40 years, I believe I've been to Sonic a few (hundred) times!! I miss those silly commercials.

About all that I can remember about Cattleman's Cafeteria was that they had a fountain/wishing well thing. I got in trouble by my parents for putting a nickle in it once. My dad fished it out and replaced it with a penney. Wasn't Kress' department store right accross the street? I think DHS or something is in that building now.

Kind of sounds like the Indian Princess Motel but I don't remember the mounted heads. I do remember the hamburgers that were outstanding!

your friends probably remember Oklahoma City more for taking the Seattle Basketball franchise than anything.....That Cafeteria you were referring to was probably Anna Maude's (downtown)....Ask your Washington friends if they ever had an "Onion Fried" burger?....they'll probably laugh at you but if you lived in Oklahoma you had to have eaten one sometime in your life.....

I was working out in Sacramento 6 years ago doing cell site surveys, the group that I was working with lived in the area and kept talking about this "great burger place in Modesto", we were going to go there for lunch after visiting the cell site nearby. We pulled into a Sonic, the first one in the area and I just laughed and told them these were like Subway stores in OKC, no matter where you are in town there is one less than three miles from you.
