Was this a chain? I think we had one up in NJ.
Yes, and until PP mentioned it I didn't realize it folded. (I hadn't been there since high school and loved the fried ice cream too.) Apparently, there was a Hep A outbreak related to some green onions used in the food. Chi Chis went bankrupt paying the lawsuits.

Peter Pan Inn (Urbana)

Hot Shoppes Cafeteria - Wheaton Plaza
An Loi - now the Macys at Wheaton Plaza
Swensons - anywhere
Bob's Famous Ice Cream
I forgot about Bob's! So much better than Gifford's. They had the best black raspberry ice cream.
My parents' rehearsal dinner was at the Peter Pan Inn in 1964.

Didn't Floriana move across the street in the 90s? It then moved to Dupont Circle at some point and is still doing business.

Floriana's?
I miss that movie theater too.
Nope, Floriana was on the other side of Wisconsin. PP is talking about The Round Table. Both of them were awesome for very different reasons.

Also, I lived in Merrifield for 12 years and one night while pregnant I drove to the late-night taco bell with a craving.... and found a big hole in the ground. They had razed it somehow without me knowing. I was devastated! lol.
Can this be true? How could this have happened?!?
They did it to the Taco Bell in Rosslyn next to Dreamo's! Very sad day indeed.
