5225 Lake Avenue The Bucket Shop as it appeared in the 1940's  
This combination resturant & tavern got it's name from serving beer in buckets Located near the stock yards &packing houses, it once was a very thriving establishment. They were famous for their beefburgers which are still trying to be copied today. They were the best around. The Southgate at Alabama & King Hill now has a very, very close replica of the famous Bucket Shop Beefburger The interior shot shows how the resturant side looked until the 1990's before it was remodeled by the new owner, Rusty Hurst I don't have a picture of the tavern side when it was remodeled When Rusty Hurst re-opened it, the beefburgers were very close to the original Bucket Shop beefburger except the bun was different The Bucket Shop was closed for a few years and in 2004, Eric & Linda Ambrozi leased the Bucket Shop from Rusty Hurst. It was re-opened as Daddy O's, a combination biker bar & resturant. Eric passed away in Dec 2004 and the business was once again sold In 2010, Boudreaux's Louisiana Sea Food & Steaks opened a restaurant in this building. Even though it was called the same, it did not have the same menu as their downtown location. In 2011, the business closed |

Many people don't remember Das Weinerschnitzel. It resided on the Southwest corner of Belt & Frederick Ave. It was a very short lived hot dog drive-in. The building was made in the shape of a big hot dog. It used to sit where the Bus Stop bench is now. You can still see the driveways on Frederick. It was in a very bad location as it was too close to the Belt & Frederick intersection which made it really hard to exit the lot. |

Les' Royal The restaurant was locatated at 2701 S. Belt, the owner was M. Leslie Ellis It used to be where the bank is now located, on the southeast corner of Belt Highway & Pickett Road. Does anyone have any photos or information about Les's? It was one of the neatest restaurants and had some of the best dining in town. Their French Onion soup was scrumptious. As I remember, the decor was set Mediterranean style. |
