As long as Joan & Ed’s keeps making cheesecake, it’s hard for me to see a reason to cross rt.9 for this!

I try to avoid eating at chains, but the Cheesecake Factory is my favorite chain restaurant by far!!! I’ve never had a bad meal there, and their extensive menu makes it the ideal location for groups. Check out the Thai Chicken Pasta, and remember to save room for dessert!!!

Are there any Abdow Big Boy’s anywhere… in the country?? This brings back memories from the Lincoln Plaza, Worcester location…. I used to work there when I was in highschool. I really miss those Big Boy Burgers!

One cannot seriously claim to be from Natick unless they’ve eaten here. I remember when this place was over on Washington Street. I wish it were still at that spot now that the poor litter diner sits in the eclipse zone of the towering condos/apartments beside it.

Comment on Jack in the Box by Nostalgio

Eric has it right. Jack in the Box was in front of the Lowe’s theatre in Natick right at the town line. I remember they used to donate coupons for free goodies during Natick’s 4th of July celebrations at Memorial Field (where the Natick Redmen football games were). Any kind that went to the field and watched Rex Trailer do his bull-whip routine would get all kinds of goodies, among which were those coupons.

After the Jack in the Box closed, a fast food place called “The Taco Maker” moved in and stayed for several years; I think that was the end of that site hosting an eatery.

People have strong feelings about Norman’s - they either loved it or hated it.
