Aww, this pic got me a little teary....my aunt would take us there when we were little to buy chicken and sweet potato biscuits...we miss her so much!! She would also take us to English's cafeteria in the mall...we thought we were big stuff going there!! Thanks for posting this.
I miss the Good Times diner that was next door. My Dad would take my sister and me there after church on Sundays for fresh squeezed lemonade and to play in the ball pit.
I guess because I'm a "come-here" I never quite developed a taste for English's chicken. I'm a southern girl and I like mine fried with just a breading and salt and pepper for seasoning. I did like their Thanksgiving dinners though. Atleast until the last one I had, which made our whole family VERY sick. It was only about a year later that they closed. For those of you who like the English's chicken recipe, there's a place on Rt. 13 North tha advertises they have it.
Just another wonderful memory like many, many more when Salisbury was a nice, simple and quiet, crime free town with people running it that had some sense. Not painting all with the same brush lol jackkcharl@aol.com
Literally every Thanksgiving and Christmas we'd always get a big package of their sweet potato biscuits. It was one of the first places our family ate at after moving down from up north. Of course, seeing the painted over sign in the rear for "colored" really hit home about(at that time) the still strong racial inequality on the Shore. Helluvagood place for a meal...just like many other good things in Salisbury that are now a pharmacy lol.

9:48, I believe the name of that restaurant is Bay Country Meals. And yes their chicken tastes just like English's did.
