Oh HECK yes they had awesome tenderloins!
I think about that place everytime I pass that point.

What about when Dave's Pizza King was the hangout?
Or even more obscure, American Pizza in downtown Pendleton?

[Mr442]

I used to hang out at the old Pizza King on 67 quite a bit.  Couldn't afford to go anywhere else.  Jimmie expected you to buy something if you went to the Dairy Bar, when it was open in season.

Oh lets back up a few more years and mention Jennette's Diner, on the corner where Ricker's sit's now, downtown Pendleton.  It was a little hole in the wall place next to the old Shell station.  Talk about a greasy spoon.  But you could get a hot dog basket (hot dog and fries) for $.45, then ad a $.15 Coke.  If you were a broke kid, it did the trick, plus it was air conditioned.

The Old Trail

The Old Trail         

The old Old Trail was a great place to eat! I remember when they had all-you-can-eat chicken wings on Sundays.
The new Old Trail is now open out by the highway in the old DQ building. I haven't been there.

The Old Trail had the best potato skins I've ever had. I haven't been to the new one, either.

Their "trail fries" used to be the best but they are nothing like they used to be.  I was soooooo disappointed.  The other stuff was delicious.  Particularly the beer.

[fireguy]

We should check that out.
Irish wants to plan another lunch. Skyline? Oh, that's right, you already had your chili-cheese dogs...

[Deuce]

I'm good for a lunch just about any day.  And now, you have more time off than ever!!

[Mr442]

I've eaten a lot of meals at the Old Trail, Mom used to work there in the 60's.  Same thing at Compton's.   I practically grew up at the Post restaurant and gas station out there by the Police post.  Compton's had the restaurant and Jeffery's had the station where dad worked.  Granny Freestone had an apartment in the back of the Post restaurant, and she had a big Wurlitzer (or something similar) organ in it.

I went there last week, and had a pretty darn good tenderloin sandwich and mean bowl of french onion soup...

ANYBODY REMEMBER CHICKEN PLACE COMING FROM ANDERSON AT SPLIT 67/SIDE RD TO PENDLETON. I KNOW THAT WAS FEW MORE YEARS BACK BUT THOUGHT SOMEBODY MIGHT. EXCELLENT! I WAS JUST A PUP.

Good food and used to play there.  Haven't been to the new one yet either but I hear the Weasel's played there.     

[fireguy]

Who is the weasel?
