Memories about growing up in:

Ok, here's a restaurant question; years before food courts, does anyone remember the name of the sit down restaurant inside Fashion Fair?

Was called Chanceys (sp) ? seems like there was a place by that name on the mall

We loved the Refectory! Near Blackstone and Shaw. It burned down twice as I remember. After the second time it did not reopen.
Also the Taco Shack in South Fresno was one of our favorites. Mr. B's Coffee Shop in Fig Garden Village is another. We just keep "remembering"!

Does anybody remember the chicken pie shop on Olive avenue? It just closed like last year but I remember growing up going there every Sunday after church with my grandma and grandpa. I really miss it now. I also remember sambo's breakfast restaurant and Olive Branch after hours parties. Anybody else remember?

@marciaf0904,

You asked: "In the 90s, does anyone remember the name of the cafe/restaurant next to Tower Theatre on Olive? All I can remember is that we hung out there in high school. I know it's not Irene's; this cafe was on Olive where the Theatre office/bar is currently.

And a restaurant I miss is Happy Steak, the one at Blackstone and Clinton (Starbucks is there now)."

It was Java Cafe.

Name of nice restaurant in Fig Garden that was close to where The Vault and Talbots are now???

I believe that was Harlan's

Alligator Club, Spoons, Big Yellow House, Scoreboard, Wilikers.

Yes my father was a chef there during that time period. Rat Pack did shows there. Does anyone remember the Town and Country Lodge?

What restaurants were at fashion fair after Ruebens, and Hungry Bear. Served Spanish/American food and was a wooden building
