Pulling into the Mars Drive-in for a Lime Rickey. Ordering up a burger from the car hop at the A&W on Blackstone. Checking out the action at Bob's Big Boy. Your favorite grilled cheese sandwich at the Woolworths Counter. Don't forget loading up at Perry Boys Smorgy. What eats do you miss?

Hi Life Resturant on Maroa

Post by Lost Fresno » Mon Sep 17, 2012 10:30 am

Back in the day, this was one of the best eateries in Fresno. Not sure if it is even there anymore. It was my first expensive restaurant I ever took a date to. I was so clueless at the time that when the waitress dropped the check off, I got up and started to patrol the restaurant looking for the cash register. Finally, the freaked out waitress tracked me down - thinking that I was trying to skip out on the check. After a few seconds of talking to me, she realized that I was just ignorant of fine dinning protocol. Ahh, to be young again! Here is a photo of the Hi Life menu. Can you say Filet Mignon for $7.50?

It has been closed for over 20 years...There was a nice Chinese Restaurant there in the early 1990's that I sold wine and liquor to....Wang's Panda...I think it is gone also..Right where the tracks cross Van Ness on the East side....
