Molly Murphy's was fun until you got your bill and there were multiple extra charges they hoped you wouldn't notice. They didn't last long with that business platform.

Crystals had the pizza lunch buffet. And cartoons playing on a big screen in the dining area.

Shotgun Sam's used to play old Marx Brothers, Laurel & Hardy and the Stooges. There was also a neat pizza place called Shakeys, IIRC.

Back in the late 60’s and early 70’s, I was attending SWSC at Weatherford. My roommate and two other friends made quite a few trips to OKC to Casa Bonita. IIRC, I think back then it was only around $2.50 to $3.50. Loved cheese enchiladas and guacamole. When the four of us started to chow down, the flag was never down and our waiter/waitress hardly ever got to any other tables. After stuffing ourselves, it was off to the OKC Fairgrounds Arena to take in a hockey game. I eventually got to make the CB in Tulsa a few times and made the CB in Denver one time. Those were the days. Does anyone else remember the other all you can eat Mexican food place, Pancho's?

There is still a Ponchos in Mesquite, TX. It's just like you remember. Love the sopaipillas, I think we got 4 baskets first time we ate there.

Went to both Casa Bonita and Crystal's in Tulsa a bunch growing up.

Anybody remember Starbase 21 next to Casa Bonita in Tulsa?

I loved Panchos. It was just a pain in the ass to get to. You had to take 240 west all the way down to OHP Troop A HQ and then come back east damn near 1/4 mile. But man, was it worth it!

I was a Trekkie back before there were Trekkies! Every time we went to Casa, I begged my folks to let me go.

I remember years ago when the Batman Knightfall saga started, i bought the parts 1 and 2 condensed versions there. It still angers me that all the damned Batman movies out there, none of them followed that story line properly.

That was our favorite place back in the 70s when I was a kid. Frank's Country Inn and Shotgun Sam's Pizza was our usual place too. Anybody remember them?

Shotgun Sam's Pizza was the bomb!
