Seafood restaurants that no longer exist

[Escalade14]

Playing do you remember w/the BF last night and he was talking about various restaurants that are no longer in Southern Maryland. He mentioned something about a seafood restaurant that he would stop at after reserves at Andrews Air Force Base. Said it was a large chain, no longer there. I don't remember that at all from my days at Andrews, but I vaguely remembered that there was a ChiChis in that area which he didn't remember at all.

I also remember that there was a seafood restaurant in Waldorf that a bunch of us from PSD would go to after work. I'm pretty certain it was a chain, that you went straight up 235 turned left at I guess 301/Crain Highway something and the restaurant was right there on the right. They frequently had all the king crab legs you could eat.

Does anyone else remember something like that, what the name of the restaurant was in Waldorf and maybe if there was a large chain seafood restaurant near Andrews? It;s driving us both crazy.

I might be wrong here, but wasn’t there someplace called Rips? It was on the southbound side of 301 nearby Pinefield Shopping Center

The only Rips I remember was on northbound Crain Highway, near Bowie. Great food!!

Stopped in there for lunch last year. Still putting out good food.

Yes, it was Rip's. Good memory! It closed in the 2010 timespan.

Thats right, I forgot they went into the old Waldorf Restaurant for a while. I got the best club sandwich at the old restaurant, made with real turkey, not the turkey roll.

Way back in the early 80s that place had 25 cent draft. 4-7

Perfect place to stop on the way home from work.

Yup. Used to drop my son off to my family there so he could be watched on drill weekends when I was stationed in the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard. I lived in Delaware so it was about halfway for both of us. I really liked that restaurant.

whoa...a two level Zayres???? That would have been heaven for me back when I used to like to shop.

Zayre's had an amazing toy section upstairs, at least I thought so as a kid. Funnest part of that Zayre's was there was an elevator with stairs right next to it. One of us get on the elevator and one use the stairs and race to see who got there first. Good times.

wow..I forgot about that too. I was probably still in mourning about the loss of Reb's...
