I remember it well. My dad loved going there. He liked the rustic atmosphere, and the bibs they gave us, indicating it was ok to make a mess. In the early 50's, I was living at the Fresno State girls' dorm, located at Maroa and Home. One weekend some of the girls were trying to decide where to eat out. Someone suggested the Oak N Hickory Pit. Someone else whined, "It's so far out." It's weird to think that Blackstone and Shields seemed almost out in the country then, and now seems almost downtown.
