business in
a small building on South Main Street in Sikeston Missouri. It consisted of a 9 stool counter and 8 tables for a
total seating capacity of 41 people. Their policy of serving vegetables, meat and
dessert was immediately established. These were trying years for everyone, World War
II and severe rationing made restaurant operation extremely difficult. The war years
were greeted with many meatless days and supplies of all kinds were in short supply ---
but somehow and some way they were able to hang on.
Earl Lambert passed away in 1976, and his son Norman and wife Patti, entered into the restaurant business as partners to Agnes Lambert, who still worked eight hours a day, six days a week.
