    Default Seen in a Men's Bathroom at Famous Dave's!!

    The following shaving advertisements were seen in a men's bathroom of Famous Dave's Restaurant in Saginaw, Michigan. There were more vintage advertisements as well, but these were the ones I found most interesting (the entire bathroom had a barbershop/ shaving theme):

    One of these was above the urinal, but I can't recall which one. I believe the Ever-Ready Singing Blades one was above the toilet.

    Seems like a theme they have, the one in Kenosha WI near I94 has a lot of Gillette ads, as well as ads for Stetson and Resistol fedoras.

    I've never been to Famous Dave's, but I appreciate any establishment that makes the effort to decorate their restrooms like this ... while everyone else uses the standard white porcelain tiles and industrial fixtures, a place like this really stands out.

    Another restaurant with really great restrooms is TGI Friday's ... the one I went to had an old-time railroad theme going on. I don't remember what I ate or how the food was, but 25 years later, I still recall that restroom.

    And there's an antique store near me that has their restrooms decorated with (what else?) antiques ... old lithographs, sports memorablilia, vintage cabinets, old hand tools, etc. Everything in there is for sale, and they are constantly changing the display.
    I Came. I Shaved. I Conquered.

    Their food is quite awesome!! They are most famous for the "All American Feast on a Garbage Can Lid" (it's literally served on a metal garbage can lid!):

    All-American BBQ Feast

    A full slab of St. Louis-style spareribs, a whole chicken, 1/2 lb. of either Texas beef brisket or Georgia chopped pork, coleslaw, Famous Fries, Wilbur Beans, four corn-on-the-cob, and four corn bread muffins. Served family-style for 4-6. An amazing deal for only $54.99

    There's a Famous Dave's less than five minutes from my house, I don't eat there because I prefer my own BBQ, but I may stop in just to check out the mens room. Yeah, that doesn't sound wrong at all...

    Just don't go in wearing a trenchcoat and sunglasses and ask to inspect and photograph the mens room.
