    I really liked stopping at Jim's when I was in NY state and Buffalo area. I wish that they could buy that old K Mart parking lot and expand their parking. Good food and good times back in the 70's.

    I used to love stopping at that Gios BBQ in Woodland, PA. I got so full over there one day, that truck parking came in handy there.

    I stopped there like two months ago and it was closed for remodeling :( I'm sure it's reopened now and really nice, ( I would think )... Actually thought it was really nice before so can't wait to see the new look....

    Oh wow, I thought it was really nice too! Maybe they want that more modern look that every restaurant seems to be after. I'm eager to see the new product
