You pretty much summed them up: Bean Sprout, Nur Deli, Coney Island, Neomone, Cup-a-Joes, Jade Grden, Andy's Pizza, Ratskeller, Big Eds, Greenshields, Dalat, Dairy Castle, Baja Burrito, The Peddler, Serendipity Cafe, Snookers, Mac's Tavern, East Village and the Cantina. Some of these places are gone though . It's still fun to reminisce..

Irregardless Cafe

The Kanki in Crabtree has been there since at least 1982, but I think longer. I know I went there on dates in '82 though!

The Krispy-Kreme on Peace Street isn't a full-service restaurant, but it is old-school!

Mecca, Mitch's Tavern

I don't know how long they've been around, but I was also thinking of Irregardless, Dalat, & Shorty's (Wake Forest).

I also was going to say Shorty's and there is another hot dog place downtown. Its been written up in alot of magazines. They only serve hot dogs and NO KETCHUP!!!

After re-reading the OP, I found both of these listed. I didn't have my coffee until late this morning.
