Here's a link from Doug Dawgz Blog.

Beverly's

[ctchandler]

I sent an email to Jimmy's Egg about their North May (1616 North May) location and they just responded and here is there comment. "Yes, it was a Beverly's before it became a Jimmy's Egg.". I like folks that are helpful and they responded in about three hours.

I remember my Dad telling us this story when we were kids.

Chicken in the Rough

[soonergeezer]

Didn't review this whole thread, but I miss "Ann's Chicken Fry" on N.W. 39th, "EL Patio" on about 10th and S. Walker, "Lion's Share" in Midwest City, "Uncle John's Pancakes" on Lincoln Blvd., any of the "Monterrey Houses" and since we're talking about some "bars"...my all-time #1 hangout...."The Gold Rush" on 74th and Penn. Man! What memories of THAT place...!!! LOL

Ann's is still there ate there just last week, still pretty good.

My late wife and I enjoyed "El Patio" while we were dating and when we came home on leave from the Navy. I thought it was around 5th and S. Walker though. When our leave was over, we bought three or four quarts of their salsa and took it back to Maryland. There was no Mexican food in that area. This was in 1965-1968 and there weren't any fast food Mexican or Mexican restaurants at all. Dianna made tacos and enchiladas and of course we used the salsa until we ran out. We did find a fairly good "El Paso" brand substitute in the commissary.

Aw man...I loved that place. They were the only place I ever had charcoal grilled shrimp that was out of this world.

What are they going to do with the "Glen's Parking" sign on 10th?
It was still there a couple of weeks ago.

[gen70]

Yep, I miss Glen's too. I thought their food in general was very good.

[CarltonsKeeper]

Does anyone remember the "Magnolia Thunder Kitty" - A quaint little bar on N.W. 10th!! I don't know for sure, but I think Gen/70 was a regular!! LMAO........................

Does anyone remember the name of a little restaurant that was around 59th and S. Walker (I think) on the North side of the street during the 1970's?

Would it have been the Black Brick on N. McKinley near N.W. 26th?
It isn't downtown but that's the only place that comes to mind.

How many Beverly's were there? I remember the one on 23rd just west of Classen, another one near 16th and N May, then one on NW Hwy. Seems like there was one on the southside somewhere but can't remember for sure.

There was one about N.W. 12th and N. Walker. 1492 is there. Then
the huge one on N. Lincoln just north of the Capitol. There wasn't
one on the southside.

I just noticed that there was a Randy's Chicken in the Rough on Bryant in Edmond. I also am wrong on the original, it was N. Lincoln according to the Oklahoman archives. I remember my parents taking me to the one on Sheridan/Grand. I'm also wondering if the one on May was Randy's after he bought the last two from Mr. Osborn. I will check the Oklahoman a little closer when I get time.

I'm almost positive that After The Goldrush was at I-240 and Penn in the strip mall. It was near/next to Sound Warehouse.

I believe you are correct.

[soonergeezer]

In the early 80s I worked the door at a club called Mardees, in the Springdale shopping center. I haven't heard anyone mention this place but it was there Several years, and was pretty popular(good food, and dance floor) The house band was called Magic(not sure of the spelling). There was a guy in the band whose name was Benny Garcia. One night he asked me if I wanted to go to a party after closing. So we went to a house where the party was and He introduced me to a guy named Vince Gill. I had no idea who he was he just told me he was a musician. A few years later he became famous and I remembered meeting him. Never would have imagined him becoming a star, he was very quiet and laid back person.

Yup, it was between the Sound Warehouse and Service Merchandise, saw a few big bands there that were on washed up tours....Three Dog Night, Iron Butterfly, Quicksilver Messenger Service

We often drove from Midwest City to Ouy Lin's Chinese restaurant at 12th and N. Penn. We always loved the food but our favorite memory of the place is the night two waitresses got in an argument and pretty much ignored our table. We left a tip of two cents!
