Full Moon Bar-B-Que
This place is now known as Pat James Full Moon Bar-B-Que. But as I recall the original, Southside branch, it was a concrete block building with a huge smiling moon face on the exterior wall. We’d skip school to go there. Great ‘Q. And it had the first PacMan machine to appear in B’ham (we thought the graphics were so awesome!).
It was one of the tabletop models, so you could sit your coke and paper plate on it while you played. That was, until the owner’d yell from back behind the counter for us kids to settle down and not get slop on his machine.
Does anyone remember a Bham BBQ place on the southside or in Woodlawn in the 1950’s named Mack’s? It was sorta dumpy, but clean. Might have been one of those old diners or just a shack of a building. I remember the floor was not level and the ceiling was low, and the food was good.
