Boone Restaurants Closing

[Mikeyosef1]

When i started at App the restaurant occupying the space where the Red Onion resides today was a pizza place. The worst pizza I've ever had at a restaurant.

Red Onion was a nice upgrade. It is sad to see it go. Loved the food, especially the fried zucchini strips appetizer. Also, it's where I met my wife 38 years ago..the worst waitress to ever serve me. Still a horrible waitress (at least waiting on me)but a hell of a good cook, mother and partner. We will miss dropping in for a stroll down memory.lane.

I think the pizza joint was Chanello's or something like that.

SJ was where Rafters took over correct?

Yes.

[MAD Doctor]

Not a chain fan, but wouldn't hate a Texas Roadhouse (instead of a Longhorn). Sagebrush was garbage but looked better on the corner than a Discount Tire will. Are there any plans for the old Willie Brooks, or Boonies? I mean there can only be so many car washes and auto parts places.

Chanelo's was over on Faculty street behind where the Hardee's was and in the same shopping center as Footsloggers before it moved downtown. I lived over it and worked there. It was far from the worst pizza ever as someone else mentioned.
My bedroom was over their ovens and I never turned the heat on. Was somewhat toasty in summer though.

Does anyone remember The Cattleman Steak Emporium Late 70's early 80's?

It screams they offered something like The 96er.

Surprised that it took RO to close down. The owners moved to San Diego a year or two ago.

Did someone buy the RO for living spaces?

Wonder why the owners moved to California, it is always on the cutting edge of doing things the wrong way i understand.

Yes. I remember it well. And Sam Houston.

Steaks were very tender, you could cut them with your fork. Best I remember not that expensive. Closed before ‘83

And vape stores…there can only be so many vape stores in Boone.

I still miss Yogi's Subs on KIng St. Thank goodness Pepper's is still in business!

Was it Pizza Man Pizza that ran around delivering pizzas in orange VW Bugs? It was nickel, dime pizza. You could go through the hall picking up loose change and order a pizza.

Everyone here who used rolled coins to pay for food, beverages or other items while in college, raise your hand.

Pizza Man was a great purchase. I could afford it

They took a job out there with USan Diego. And one of the daughters lives west coast, maybe both.

They also had a diesel Chevette.

I still say Yogi's is the best I've ever tried.

[Stonewall]

Best Sub. Yes , probably so. Best burger and fries combo at Buzz City.
