Mrs. Ramey and a Miss Weaver were in the kitchen, and Marie Meadows worked as a waitress and also made hot rolls and pies.
The meals were excellent. Shrimp-in-a-basket, a cup of coleslaw, and French fries cost 99 cents.
A favorite of Rose Marie Meadows was the Mountaintop Salad, consisting of two deviled crabs, coleslaw, Lima beans, and a tossed salad with cottage cheese and blue cheese dressing. It went for $1.25 (about $9 in today’s money). Another bestseller was the rib eye steak.
