Favorite restaurants when you were a kid?

I remember the Greasey Spoon down in New Brunswick. The had the best cheese steak sandwiches around. I wonder if they are still there?

Geno's! Any more of them around?

Sam's hotdogs, 14th Ave in Newark, between 9th and 10th street. He had the best hot dogs and potatoes around, one of the original guys to make Italian style hot dogs famous.

They were across from the Reservoir Bar and Grill which made the best pizza in the area. They used olive oil in the crust. The Jimmy Buffs everyone loves is all right, but they don't come close to Sam's. They use stored potatoes. Back then, everything was fresh.

Any folks remember the burger barn? It was on the right hand side (the side you take to get home) when going on rt 36 to sandy hook. Either it was in keyport or matawan. Great fries and burgers. Run by a family. I used to go there when I visited my aunt and uncle in Middletown

fishman sad to inform you the burger barn is no longer there. They tore it down and replaced with advance auto parts. Really miss that place.
