Northcountry Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Would you please ask him to make me a large beef and sausage pizza with a double order of Mojo potatoes? PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE! Quote
2ndGenSiouxFan Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 That got me thinking.... Anyone remember what the 50's esque restaurant that Shakey's became was called? I can't remember for the life of me. I think that Dagwoods (or whatever its called now) - the second one, after they moved from their first location on Columbia Road, to their second location out by the university was one of those 50's ish restaurants too...

Actually Skakeys was next door. Toppers was the old Mr. Steak restaurant. Quote
ticklethetwine Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 I loved Shakeys and Toppers. I don't understand how Toppers could have failed. I thought it was the best burger joint in town. Quote
almostheavenin2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Author Posted October 14, 2011 Didn't they burn down? I forgot that. They did burn down. Quote
Siouxperfan7 Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Mr. Steak became Somebody's Restaurant, which became Toppers, which became 32 Ave Eatery (spinoff of 42nd St Eatery...same owner) then that burned down. Think the guy got charged with insurance fraud for starting the fire. Toppers was awesome. Burger with the seasoned fries and a butterfinger shake......doesn't get any better!! Quote

I thought there was a name bewteen Mr. Steak and Toppers forgot about Somebodys. I do remember that he started serving 42nd st. food but forgot the 32nd Ave. Eatery. You have good memory so what was where Paradiso before Paradiso and not La Capana. Quote
darell1976 Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 OMG I loved Toppers!!! They had a container full of cheese you would pump to get it. I would put that on my burger then on the side for my fries. Where is my time machine!!!!!! Quote

Went to JL in downtown Fargo....great beer selection, very ordinary unimpressive burger. I was with a few people and was not alone in my opinion. Quote
CMSioux Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Any truth to the urban legend that one of the reasons Shakey's went under was the weekly visit to the buffet lunch from the UND Football Team Hogs? Quote
