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?

The Pleasanton Cafe

Post by shirleyken » Sat Feb 16, 2019 2:20 pm

In the 1930's, my parents I would often go downtown to eat at the Pleasanton Cafe. This was always a treat. For 40 cents, we got a full three-course meal which was always good. I especially remember fried oyster sandwiches. The cafe had a long row of booths with curtains for complete privacy. (Haven't seen that since) Each booth had a buzzer for summoning the waiter.
I searched but couldn't find any mention of the Pleasanton Cafe; however, there was a Pleasanton Hotel which stood on the corner of Broadway and Merced. I'm guessing the restaurant was part of the hotel but not sure.
