I've posted a few
ads and
articles about
Yeager's Acres, the long-gone restaurant that used to be at the corner of Kolbe Road and Cooper Foster Park Road that my grandparents used to frequent. The ads seemed to generate some nice memories for those who remember the place fondly, so here is another one I found. It announces the Grand Opening of the new Knotty Pine Dining Room and ran in the
Lorain Journal on May 1, 1958.
The food items listed are kind of interesting. I don't think you see Chicken-In-The-Basket as a menu item these days anywhere (at least it's not on
Midway Oh Boy's or
Mutt & Jeff's menu). The stewed chicken initially didn't sound too appetizing to me, but an online
recipe on
cooks.com indicates that it's served with dumplings, which makes it sound like a tasty dish indeed.

I went once as a kid for a dinner for Lorain Community Hospital employees. Sometime after 1963. It was considered a classy joint. I find chickens fingers something to steer away
from. . .
Stewed Chicken = Chicken Paprikash without the Paprikash or the sour cream. Then you had Chicken ala King with cream sauce. Then you had chicken stew thin sauce and veggies. All great ways to get rid of old chickens and/or tough old roosters. The equivalent of crock potting them
We left Lorain in '89, but fondly remember the Family Style Fried Chicken Dinners served on Sundays in earlier years.
