Sadly the bubble room on Captiva was hit extremely hard during Ian. They managed to survive Charlie in ‘04 but most of the island was wiped out this time. It’s sad because I had so many family memories going there for birthdays for over 20 years, I even had my first drink there. Plus! their red velvet cake was the best 😔 Fortunately the owners seem to be selling the cakes online to bring the place back. If anyone wants delicious cake and to support a local favorite, please consider ordering from them. Maybe even a reaction?
Noooo! That's upsetting to hear -- I was just there last year. I feel like the video they reacted to didn't really capture how bizarre that place actually is. I hope the owners are able to bring it back!
@@ChrisVuletich Yeah there’s really so much to see that the video didn’t cover. It’s kitschy in the best way! And their bubble bread was to die for. Hopefully they’ll be able to rebuild and reopen but I’m sure it’ll be a year before we see any improvement. The islands barely have electricity and internet yet, let alone the ability to bring contractors to work on non-essential buildings
Chicago Joe here... The movie was "Cable Guy" with Jim Carry.
I took my my youngest son to the Heart Attack Grill several years ago when I was on a business trip. To this day, he still says it was the best burger and best spanking he has ever had 🤣
I went to a medieval times in 8th grade on a field trip to Chicago and it has become a core memory for me. That whole trip was a blast.
I saw Hillbilly Hotdogs in Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. It's really is just an old bus and shack, it's not a gimmick.
And it really is in the middle of nowhere!
I went to Medieval Times on a 7th grade school trip in the Los Angeles/Orange County area. I didn't quite appreciate it fully at the time, but looking back it was a pretty interesting experience. I remember they gave way too much food for my 7th grade self lol
The Tonga Room is amazing. WEIRD having it rain in the basement of a ritzy hotel. Some of the strongest drinks I’ve ever had.
I like how an old school bus in rural West Virginia is gimmicky but a “proper old Wild West town” wouldn’t be 🤣
The owner of the Heart Attack Grill is a good man with positive intentions. His entire message is _Please don't purchase what I sell because it will kill you_ and he's rich because people keep buying it regardless. He started out running a health food store that went broke and started this business out of frustration.
Medieval Times is so much fun to go to. When I go to Disney in LA or Florida we always hit up one for dinner.
If you are in New York, there is a restaurant called "Jekyl & Hyde" which is a classic horror movie themed restaurant. Lots of monster memorabilia for decor. Waiters/servers are in Dracula and werewolf costumes. This restaurant is geared more for kids than adults though.
Just put a blindfold on and eat your food at home. Save yourself big bucks 😆 Yes, the bubble room restaurant and surrounding areas of the island were hit hard by hurricane IAN. Road access is still restricted. It is still closed and hopefully opens back up sometime soon. I live about 60 miles north of the Captiva area.
She neglected to say that at Medieval times you don't get utensils for your food. You'll be eating with your hands.
Utensils are available upon request....
@@PortlandOriginal which defeats the purpose of the whole experience.
Loved Midlevel Times as a kid in Dallas
There were no utensils but there was pepsi?
Dude, I’ve got a lot of tables.
@@jonathanmartin726 great movie
We took my nephew to Mediaeval Times in Myrtle Beach, SC for his birthday, he must have been 8 or 9 at the time. Absolutely Loved it! Food was excellent.
To speak on the laundry mat thing. There was a bar where I grew up that had laundry mat next door and the bar had a monitor that would tell you when your washer or dryer was done.
The movie he's thinking of is "The Cable Guy" with Jim Carey
Years ago when I used to go to a laundromat regularly I thought it would be a great idea to have a small pub right inside one. The one I went to had a bar right next door, so I would put the wash in, drink 2 beers, go over and switch it to the dryer, then head back to the bar for 4 or 5 more. It actually made doing laundry fun and I would come up with excuses to do it.
Put a cafe or a bookstore in there and you got a decent business.
You guys never did do the best steakhouse in each state.
I'd expect three tongues on the floor by reaction's end.
LOVE the TONGA ROOM! One of the best and most fun times I've ever had dining!
Captiva Island was one that took it hard in Hurricane Ian. It didn't get as much coverage as Sanibel Island did, but the bridge to Sanibel was also the bridge to Captiva.
A great restaurant in the UK gets a great score of 0. Like a great soccer match
I went to Dick's Last Resort in San Antonio years ago and we had a blast. We got the server to throw a bunch of straws at us. LOL As for Hill Billie Hotdogs it is NOT commercially made. It is what you see. And yes they do have an old school bus that they use as part of the dining area. It is a one-of-a-kind place.
I could never trust a meal cooked by someone else if I couldnt see it.
I went to Medieval Times in Kissimmee, Florida, long ago with my family when I lived in Orlando. They give you a paper crown to wear and a name for a knight you support and cheer for. They do not provide utensils unless you ask for them, so you can use your hands or silverware for the food. I just checked the prices for admittance to that place. It's very pricey per person; for adults, it's $69.95, and for children is $39.95. I had a fun time going there, but you will feel a big hole in your wallet from all that money being spent on that expensive meal and show. There are nine Medieval Times restaurants in different states and one in Toronto, Canada.
The Tonga Room was a kind of 50s/60s place that declined in popularity along with "tiki bars" (like Trader Vic's) generally but in the 2000's it has had a remarkable revival among prosperous techies and Millennials.
That clip of Adam Driver is from an SNL Medieval Times skit that was hilarious. He is one of the best SNL hosts ever. You should check some of his skits out on your Patreon channel.
Los Angeles used to have a restaurant called Crackers. It was just wild all night. The "floor" show was about 2 hours of unconnected routines. One minute a Viking woman would come out singing opera and sitting on a customers lap (usually a bald male). Then out of nowhere would be someone carrying 20 pizza boxes and the whole place would break into "What's a Matter you" or a little person walking around dressed like Charlie Chaplin silently goosing people and at the end of every show a huge flag would come down from the ceiling and Everyone in the place stood and sang the Star Spangled Banner. Audience participation was mandatory on the first floor and usually done on the second balcony floor as well. No one was immune and the place was always packed. I miss bringing out of town trainees there when I was a training instructor.
I've been to the safehouse restaurant in Milwaukee!! Great food and the atmosphere was amazing! What an awesome time!
Years ago we had a restaurant called "Sally's Stage" that had a large organ rise out of the floor, and all the wait staff rolled around a track on skates.
Daz you might have gone to the Medieval Times in New Jersey. That's the one I went to on a field trip in school, it was a lot of fun.
Dudes, if I'm not mistaken, Karen's Diner is like The Wiener Circle I've been trying to get you to watch 😁. A friend of Conan's that he brought with him from SNL to the Conan show, plays a dog puppet going there and insults them back. The same guy plays different celebrities that Conan interviews via satellite. They're hilarious and the guy is a genius! Triumph The Insult Comic Dog.
Wanted to go to one since I watched the cable guy as a kid
I’ve been to Heart Attack Grill! Their burgers are actually pretty good. Luckily (or unluckily?) I finished my plate, so no paddling for me.
I want to go in there and order a salad to see what happens 😅
lol the real question is did you eat for freee lol
Everyone should go to a Medieval Times at some point in their life. Watching dudes joust and sword fight while eating food with your hands and swilling beer is a great way to spend an evening.
I don't get Dave's connection between hillbillies and cowboys. They're completely different. I love Medieval Times! i don't care what anybody says. That's expensive as hell to have horses on site for dinner shows. Anyway, there's a couple hours of entertainment while you eat. There's torture chambers and stuff like that. Lots to look at beside the show, and you're part of the show!
I wish my laundromat had that. I’m always hungry when I’m doing laundry. Luckily there’s a Sonic right next door and I just walk over and bring the food back but that would be much more convenient.
I used to work at a restaurant on highway between Portland OR and Mt. Hood named "Calamity Jane's". The menu boasted no less than 100 different hamburgers. (The bubble gum/pineapple burger sold surprisingly well!)
There's an Uncle Buck's here in Washington State as well, attached to the Bass Pro Shop in Tacoma.
Dicks sounds like a Ed Debeviks which was in Chicago and LA. Same premise of snarky wait staff.
I live in San Francisco and have been to the Tonga Room several times. It's GORGEOUS! The hotel is beautiful inside. The views from the hotel will take your breath away.
Joel and Lia from those two brits went to the Heart Attack Grill.
I went to Medieval Times on a high school senior trip almost 20 years ago but all of the horses and hay flared up my asthma so I spent the whole dinner outside in a courtyard listening to Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon on my iPod. Was a pretty lonely experience for the most part. I remember wishing someone would bring me out some of the food at least lol.
A strategic eater? I love it!
I need that orange crunch cake in my life
Betty Danger's is, unfortunately, closed now, and it doesn't look like it'll be reopening. Their sister bar, Psycho Suzi's Motor Lounge, is one of the more popular bars in Minneapolis though, and it's still open!
In the 80s and early 90s there was a laundromat with a bar about a 10 minute drive from SMU in Dallas called the Bar Of Soap.
They advertised heavily on campus and they had cheap beer and also the newest arcade games.
They would have lasted longer but they got shut down for selling to minors.
They never asked anyone for ID.
We actually were in Highschool when we would go there.
In Denton, TX (a university town) there was a laundromat/bar called This Suds For You. It's where all the single men in their 40's and 50's would go hoping hot college chics would show up...
@@rowdy7480 In the 80s when I was in HS in Dallas and lived in Plano I dated a gal that lived in Flower Mound.
There was a place we used to go close UNT that wouldn't have carded a toddler back then.
I can't remember the name of the place but it had kind of a dirtbag tiki Japanese vibe kinda like if Dave's Art Pawn Shop moved from Deep Ellum to Denton, got a liquor license and had taken over an Oriental restaurant and just didn't want to change the decor.
I saw Tracy Chapman there.
It was fun but it used to suck driving back to Plano on those old FM roads that had no street lights at two or three in the AM.
Come to think of it I also saw MC 900 Foot Jesus there.
That was a weird damn night!!
UFOs are real!!
@@christianoliver3572 Fry St. in Denton was on David Letterman way back when. They were filming from the 2nd floor of The Flying Tomato looking down at Oak & Fry Streets. Apparently UNT was considered the biggest drug using university in the country at the time, LMFAO
@@rowdy7480 Oh yeah I went to the Tomato a few times!!
It was another place up there who had kind of the same idea of the drinking age is they used to have in Nuevo Laredo....
Tall enough to put the money on the bar!!!
And you also have to realize that MDMA was completely legal back then before the Designer Drug Act wad passed in 91 or 92.
So if you knew how to ask and had $20 the bartender would hook you up and you'd end up having a really interesting night!
I never encountered this when I moved to Austin when I went to UT.
We still had no problem getting alcohol but not the other.
Hey anyway I'm pretty sure I had good times.
I even remember some of them...
Sorta
Tonga Room in San Francisco at the Fairmont is awesome.
We use to have one like that rainforest one called Kahiki in Columbus Ohio.. they had exotic animals including iguanas, macaws, pythons, giant koi fish, and a capuchin monkey in open vine cages/exhibits right in the dining area.. I think it closed down because they couldn’t have the animals that close to people eating but it was really cool as a child to go there.. now I feel bad for the animals..
There’s a medieval times In Secaucus NJ
If two of them were to merge into one restaurant, you could have Dick's Last Monster Weener.
Heart Attack Grill would be amazing over here!
Sadly, fun is illegal in Sweden.
Garden State and TheCable Guy
And yeah a lot of them are gimmicky, but they’re also places you won’t be eating at all the time, they’re kept alive by tourist’s, from all over the US and the world. So you may only go one twice at most, haha.
In our country, we do not use the name "restaurant" when only fast food is served. Whenever I hear this word and see only burgers, I roll my eyes.
Heart attack? For those who have given up. It is a pity that they do not think about their loved ones or about themselves.
I like the idea of this restaurant where there are knight fights. When it comes to dishes, they can serve anything. The most exquisite dishes. In the Middle Ages, feasts at courts were almost cosmic. Back then, the cook was better than the modern. They had to be able to prepare virtually any type of meat. Crazy times and skills.
What else would you call it? Obviously your country don't know any better.
I spy an Annabelle doll.
Midevil Times was in Cable Guy with Jim Carrey and Ben Stiller
I love Medieval times
If you are doing your laundry at a laundromat chances are you aren't throwing away money dining out ...
Daz why were you by Ashey's flat?? hmmmm... Daz Captiva Island was hit by Ian, not sure the damage, or if this place was hit hard? Daz never been, but know the name.. Bourbon street in Sayreville!! not sure of the dining there, but usually you cant expect something good in one of those adult places.. LOL.. maybe crabs, crawfish.. Daz there is a Medievel times in the Meadowlands area.
15:15 LOL
Bourbon Street in Sayreville NJ 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😊
hillybilly hotdog is about as authenic as you can get it really is in the middle of hilly Billy country
Casa Bonita!
THATS IN NEW JERSEY !!!
Allow me to say.....Dine in the dark is STUPID.
Omg I couldn't take this lady's voice after 5 seconds. Like nails on a chalkboard.
It is a voice generated aka a computerised voice
live in mn and betty dangers is a good drinking spot
I know this may seem a bit demure but could you guys react to either Shaqs reaction to Kobe’s death or mj’s? I think it’s important because throughout all your nba reactions we haven’t had too much experience with Kobe and it’s important to see JUST how beloved and important he was. Just a thought! Love you guys
So you decided to pick the saddest reaction instead of his legacy?
@@kimson305 well of COURSE we need Kobe highlights etc and just good videos on his legacy. But I find those two videos (if you know the ones I’m talking about) are great in that they show how important he was. His relationship with Shaq is personified in the one of Shaq crying and the one of MJ crying is just like essential. More important there are speeches/words that go along with those videos so … they’re very good.
Dave, we ‘hillbillies’ arent cowboys: we dont live in the west. A western town wouldnt make sense. WV is clear on the other side of the country
Damn Dave 😂 you anti-marriage
THUMBS UP IF YOU ARE WONDERING WHERE CASA BONITA IS ON THIS LIST??
It’s just a bullshit list with computer generated voice.
I hate restaurant gimmicks.
