I always liked Steak and Ale better, but they bailed a few years ago.
Glad their dead along with their brother Bennigan's, who where both owned by the same company. Steak and Ale ....ahh yea the fond memories of going up to the salad bar to get salad and seeing a roach running away. I dropped my plate and said I'm not hungry I'm just going to sit down and wait for my dinner.

I have similar memories from CB and another oldie "Sizzler". Roach at CB, and half a butterfly dying in the lettuce at Sizzler.

LOL, let me get this right - you are disgusted at seeing the roach, so you go wait at your table for your food, somehow assuming the kitchen is cleaner than the salad bar?
btw, don't recall them being owned by same company.

Yea well I was young then like 15 and well if it was cooked.... it must be dead! I don't like my roaches raw..haha
Steak and Ale and Benignans where owned by the same company.
New ownership
In October 2008, it Atalaya Capital Management announced that it would buy the assets of both the Bennigan's and Steak and Ale brands. The assets include the Bennigan's Franchising Co., which owned the rights to franchise the Bennigan's brand and was instrumental in keeping franchise-owned restaurants operating during the bankruptcy period. Joel Holsinger, managing director of the firm, said the company planned to reposition the brand by re-establishing its place in the high-margin bar segment and by focusing on sandwiches and appetizers. Holsinger also said the company planned to reopen 50 or 60 formerly company-owned Bennigan's locations by finding new or existing franchisees to operate the restaurants

Yup, sorry, thought you were talking about Charlie Brown's.
i love a big salad bar. every now and then ill meet my mom at the ruby tuesdays at monmouth mall. i try to get in 2 big plates of salad before my lunch arrives.
The stool-warmer regulars on the right end of the Upper Montclair bar were quite the characters, they could have inspired the "Cheers" sitcom for all I know. I was acquainted with most of them.
That is because we only have 1 or 2 bqars in Montclair. I have to drive to Tierney's for a drink instead of just stumbling over to any place in Watchung plaza
