dmksioux Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 I've noticed that the Overtime Bar and Grill sign says closed and that the doors have been boarded up. I have also heard that the restaurant is being sold. Has anyone heard anything as to what is going to happen to the restaurant? Quote

ChosenOne Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Isn't that the old 42nd street eatery? Apparently, it has been bought, and the new owner is making a few changes before they reopen. Not sure what it will be called. Quote
dmksioux Posted June 4, 2008 Author Posted June 4, 2008 Apparently, it has been bought, and the new owner is making a few changes before they reopen. Not sure what it will be called. Yep...used to be 42nd street eatery and before that it was Toppers. Any idea if they are keeping the volleyball leagues? Quote
Goon Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 used to be Dagwood's as well. That is what I was trying to think of. Thanks... I hope they keep it no smoking. Quote
siouxperseven Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Apparently, it has been bought, and the new owner is making a few changes before they reopen. Not sure what it will be called. Don't think it's been bought unless it just hasn't closed yet. Since this is your first post you might have more of an in than I do. But at the price they were asking all I can say is WOW if it was sold. I've often wondered why it's hard to work at that location even with the 700 units with in a block. To go back even farther..does anyone remember when it was "Toppers"? Now...that was teh best burger you could ever get!! Quote

siouxperseven Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 AND the best shakes!! Mmmm... Ohhhh yea!!!. If only the school kids today had a hang-over place to go like that was! Quote
dj_hoime Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Toppers turned into 32nd street Eatery. On the corner of 32nd and washington and it burnt down years ago. Just throwing that out there. Quote
siouxperseven Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Wasn't the same Toppers there though...even though same owner. That guy also owned the eating place on South Washington and maybe 20th Avenue. Both ended up going out of business at the same time I think. That might have been one of the first sports bars in GF...specialized in italian food?? What was the called?? Quote

To go back further still, its original occupant was a burger place called The Red Barn. That was back in about 1977 or 1978. Quote
Let'sGoHawks! Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 The staff at Overtime mentioned that someone from Fargo had bought the place. Other than that, I have no idea. I also heard a rumor that they were going to allow smoking again, whenever they reopen. Quote
THETRIOUXPER Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 After it was Toppers I think it was called BLB's Pit Barbeque or something like that. That only lasted a short time though. Quote

J [something] B's (or maybe it was BJB's), as in (Big???) John Borman, the owner of Players, Village Inn's, Toppers. He still might be involved in the Village Inn out by Holiday Inn Express on 32nd.

He still might be involved in the Village Inn out by Holiday Inn Express on 32nd. I don't think Borman is around GF anymore. The Village Inn on 32nd Ave. S. is owned by some people from Minot. Does this look about right for the history of the Overtime building?: 1. Red Barn 2. Toppers 3. BBQ place 4. 42nd St. Eatery 5. Dagwoods 6. Overtime Quote

Land possibly redeveloped and the building drastically made over. Pretty good source, we'll see. Quote
