I've written about the Steak & Ale on Forest Drive<\/a>, but this one I didn't remember as a S&A at all.<\/p>\n

It finally struck me driving by that certainly a building that looked like that couldn't have been built as an Asian buffet (is anything?) and almost had to have been a Steak & Ale<\/i>. Old phonebooks more or less confirmed that (though I never found an actual street address, just verbiage like \"the Saint Andrews exit off of I-26\"). At the time, I wrote down the last phonebook listing the place, but have lost that note somewhere -- I'm saying it was the late 1970s. (The ad is from the 75-76 Southern Bell directory)<\/p>\n

UPDATE 13 Oct 2010<\/b>: Well, I wouldn't have thought it given that I can't personally recall the place as a S&A, but it is<\/i> in the 1998 phonebook (interestingly the address is given as 109 Woodland Hills Road, the cross street), so the comments about it being open into the 2000s are probably right, and I'm updating the closing date from \"1970s\" to \"early 2000s\". Wish I could get my<\/i> age wrong by 30 years..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
