Originally I believe that location was "Sambo's", then sat empty for a while, then Julies, where yes the manager was murdered, then BBC

Nope. As was said earlier Sambos was where Wings n more was across from campus. IIRC Oakridge Smokehouse was at the Chili's spot but I might be off.

Sambos was at 1045 Texas Ave. Thats where Raising Cane's is today. So I was way off. http://www.sambosonline.com/sambos_texas.htm

Looking through some old threads, Oakridge Smokehouse was in the general area of Lupe Tortilla. Not sure what, if anything, preceded Chili's in that location.

Man. I've been inside the back of that restaurant. Creepy.
Wonder what the date would be on that. Looks very '60s.war hymn aggie said:
proof that Saber Inn had it's own restaurant:
The "VIctor 6" prefix was for 846. They used the mnemonics back in the day when operators dialed the numbers for you. Here's an interesting article:CEAg78 said:Wonder what the date would be on that. Looks very '60s.war hymn aggie said:

When I came to school in 1974, The Grapevine was there, facing Texas Ave. Great sangria. And salad. And twice-baked potato.
They built the place on Live Oak when the Saber Inn was torn down. Maybe 1980-ish.
Wasn't the Grapevine further back?CEAg78 said:More importantly, the Grapevine was originally in the Saber Inn which became Taco Cabana.PS3D said:Incorrect, Saber Inn became Taco Cabana.SW AG80 said:
Saber Inn used to be where Denny's is now.
Aerial photos show that the Saber Inn was still around in the very early 1980s, I believe that Mapping Historic Aggieland does show it as such. By the 1983 phone book, "Baker Street Restaurant & Bar" was operating there. (Brazos CAD link, search for 201 Live Oak if the link doesn't work)UmustBKidding said:
No grapevine was originally in the lobby area of the sabre inn, fronting Tx Ave. Grapevine moved and another restaurant moved into their old location and shortly thereafter motel was sold and site cleared for Taco Cabana & Los Baroninos.
