That was a fun trip down memory lane ... If you don't mind, I think this thread under local history is a better fit: https://www.fortwort...opic=128&page=3

The Spanish Galleon would have been a good fit on here.  My parents used to go there for "date night" and never took us because of cost I guess.  However they would always bring back leftover and an additional plate for me and my siblings to try.  I remember driving by as a kid several times and seeing the whale mouth that was the entrance to the restaurant.  Such good memories. 

 

They also did the same thing on their date night when they would go to Jimmy Dips.

I relocated these three posts over here to "Favorite Defunct Restaurants".

 

My family used to take me to both restaurants.  We went to The Spanish Galleon or Bill Martin's because I loved seafood (and still do), while both my parents and grandparents did not like it.  We went to Jimmy Dips on occasion, also.
