Went there last night couldnt believe they didnt take credit cards! I really annoys me when places dont take credit cards. This isnt 1970! Cool place but that really left a bad taste in my mouth.

Lots of places still do that. They don't want to pay the CC fees, which are especially high with Amex. And they're probably, um, creative with their reporting.

Don't see anything wrong with it.

So - how was the food?

By not accepting CC's, they don't have to worry about chargebacks either.

Last of a dying breed. Pepe's and Lenny's used to be all cash too. Can't think of too many places that are still this way.

Buying on credit is one of the repeating trends that continually drags our economy down. It can be convenient but the masses lack self control.

Sally's still is.

I can actually think of a ton of places that are cash only in the area.

I love Bill's.

Cash only is no problem for me. You should always have at least $100 cash on you.
