Sam is back and the Cadet Restaurant is open! Home of the Poorboy sandwich, the Cadet was founded in 1952. It was one of the first restaurants where you ordered from your car and girls delivered your food to you.

According to the restaurant, "Sam" has stood outside since 1962, although he was down for a dozen years (1990-2002) after he was decked by a Ford Bronco.
"Sam" is indeed proudly standing in front of the Cadet Cafe - we stopped and had lunch at this informal spot (cooking shows playing on TV for the guests) and the food was all made-to-order and wonderful. Friendly staff makes this a "must" when you discover yourself in this particular neck o' the woods. Lots of fracking water trucks sometimes congest parking lot...
