So I had to go to north Dallas today and decided to stop in to one of my favorite dives for a burger only to find an empty lot where once stood one of the finest dive burgeries in the country. As I don't get over that way often it may have been gone for a while but this is new news to me. I've been a customer since the mid 80's but I guess I'm going to have to find a new place now. :mecry:

I feel your pain and dissapointment! I used to go way out of my way when I had to drive south bound. My greasy little spoon diner was no longer! Served up the best Steak & Philly cheese sub and some flame thrower hot chilli...

Place was always busy with a 10minute wait to get seated...Owner must have died is all I can figure :mecry:

Great people, service, food , thats priced well is becoming hard to find these days :mecry:

Reminds me of a little hole in the wall Mex. place near where my folks live in Frisco. It got hit by a tornado.

The worst part though (wel, maybe for the customer anyway) is that they ended up rebuilding as part of a new strip mall, and I guess it's all different now....no more cute little hole in the wall place....food's not as good, etc.

So, it's kinda still there, but not really.

This seems to be a trend across the nation... it sucks!!! We had couple classic eateries close in my home town due to money or the owners getting to old. I will have a moment of silence for your "comfort food".

are you talking about "the hole in the wall" off of Harry Hines?

Yep, That's the one. I hope someone at least took down all the bra's nailed up over the bar that were so generously donated by no doubt over served female patrons. And all the dive pictures and mounted sea creatures. If you go back far enough you might recall that the owner was an avid diver and it was originally a combination dive shop, burger joint, and blues bar. Then later the dive part got dropped out but I think he still arranged dive trips. I never actually went over there in the evening for the bar as it is pretty far from where I live and in a neighborhood I did not want to get caught in after dark.
