Several old gas pumps are situated through out the rooms, and well-worn wood salvaged from pallets, make up the walls. Hanging on those walls are old car grilles, fenders, and vehicle signs in various spots. Empty fifty-five gallon barrels make up bar tables with steel stools.
the bus on the far side of the photo is the walk through entrance to the restaurant
This is the first I've seen any parking lot line the rows with gas station signs from the 50s... it's effing cool... and a reminder of all the mom n pop gas stations that once existed across the USA
the signs make it a lot easier to remember where you parked!
Cook's Garage has been open since April 2017, according to its website. The restaurant started as a "man cave" with a showroom for collected vehicles. They added signs and buildings on the property to display the signs. They added a kitchen to cook lunch for family and employees, and it eventually turned into a full bar and restaurant.

To bad we can't have more of these places sprinkled all over the country. What a unique and very cool place.
