Do you remember this restaurant that closed down over 20 years ago? 🤔 

We posted the video below on social media (100k views on Facebook and 12k on Instagram), which got a lot of people talking about their memories of this place. I think I only visited once or twice before it closed, and the land it was on is still empty now…..
