Food and Drink Saint Joe restaurants

OK, question for the St Joe planeteers... Name some "famous" St Joe restaurants(past or present) and what you would consider their "signature" item...

Maybe it is just the item you associate with them .. for instance...

The Bucket Shop= beefburger
Galvin's=fried chicken
36th Street= Tenderloin sandwich
D&G= the Simon
Kleinbrodts= scrappy beef
Cordonnier's = catfish sandwich
Jerre Anne's = any and every side dish

NO CHAINS ALLOWED...

extra credit if you have a recipe for said item!

You must've never had a Bottoms Up tenderloin sandwich,that was a sad sad day when they closed their doors.

36th Street is good but pricey. Their claim to fame is Tom Selleck ate there...

Hoof and Horn is awesome, but it burned down if I am not mistaken-best items are(were) anything beef
Merrick's- Subs (I know, subs can't be that good, right? They come with a dipping sauce that is freaking amazing.)

Best I ever had was actually Jim's Place... but I doubt it is around anymore... but 36th st was more famous for it (at least in my childhood)

So Joe, got any suggestions?

I will add another.. Barbosa's = cheese enchilada's in the red pork sauce

Hoof and Horn was a fave of mine as a kid... if you had to pick ONE item what would you pick from there (for me it was filet mignon but that isn't something I would call a sig item of there's)

I don't remember. I just remember going there as a kid and it being freaking amazing. I mean, it isn't normal for kids to like steak, right? Isn't that a taste that develops as one gets older? It was a HUGE deal to get to go to the Hoof 'n Horn. Like once a year on your birthday huge.

I just remember VERY good food.

The Momma Ester. It was so huge the bun dwarfed in comparison.

From my days as a kid it was also The Bucket Shop and my Aunt has the original beefburger recipe.I'd also have to give a

to The Pizza Royal,been open for years and still continues to put out great thin crust pizza.

More recently famous for me(although already gone) was Beaty's BBQ,best ribs,sauce and beans I've ever had and I've had a lot.

Once a week they also served what they called the Hot Mommy Ester,the huge thick tenderloin covered in mashed potatoes and cream gravy.

What was the name of the Pizza place that used to be at the Uhaul location on the N Belt? I remember it had the "Monkey Doors" for kids. It had a large window to watch the pizza man make the pies.
