Snappy Service Cafe (Gone)

Here are a couple of shots of the world famous Snappy Service Cafe located in Salt Lake City, UT. Well, not sure if this place is indeed "world famous" but the cafe is worth a stop to view as is. 09-06

UPDATE : The Snappy Service Cafe closed its doors at this site in 2001. After current owner Morris Daras 's lease was up after the property was sold (and subsequently demolished), Larry H. Miller then owner of the Utah Jazz offered to move the business to his new entertainment complex in exchange for the right to purchase the business name upon the owners retirement. The business then made it to 100 years in 2002. Well I supposed it was "world famous" having been open since 1902. 07-25

Here's the well known sign at Sullivan's Cafe in Cedar City, UT. Sullivan's Cafe has been open since 1946 under three generations of the Sullivan family. The cafe was purchased by their long-time general manager in 2007.

According to the sign, the place is known for their home made food. 01-09

UPDATE : Sullivan's Cafe is now closed for business. The former owners retired and the place is now vacant. The lettering has been removed from this sign. Yet another Utah landmark roadside establishment has left the road. 08-15

UPDATE : The sign has been advertising the Arcade Cafe in recent years. I didn't see any open cafes out here the last time I passed through and the Arcade sign was faded out. 07-25
