Great memories from everyone on this thread !!!
Bellyless clams. That is what they sold. Just goes to show that ANYTHING that can be breaded and fried will sell.
Most of the Stucky’s seemed to have morphed into cracker barrel resturants...the concept is the same!
Actually, RaysHill was bypassed...the other 2 you mentioned were “twinned” to allow 4 lane operation and are still open.
Not sure why you're comparing Shady Glen to the massive chain of Howard Johnson restaurants. Although when I was a child in the 1960s, I remember HoJo's food was similarly delicious.
Thankfully, Shady Glen's two wonderful restaurants live on in Manchester, CT. From what I've seen, they get REALLY crowded at times, so I have to assume the 2-restaurant "chain" is doing well.
I have many relatives who have moved out of CT (years ago). But when they visit family and friends in CT, they *always* make sure to stop at Shady Glen. I would do the same.
