@JohnBrady Ours is 99 Restaurant and it’s run by the hardest working, most efficient woman in Lawrence County. Faded wall menu (even though the place isn’t that old) and a little kid doing homework in his permanent booth. During the pandemic she rigged that place up for social distancing in the crudest possible way and kept on trucking. “Friends” is perpetually on the TV. Even dine-in food is served on disposable plates with plastic forks and styrofoam cups. I am a loyal fan.
