Pokey Sticks:  Overrated or incredibly overrated?

Very overrated. However, Gumby's boneless wings were as underrated as their pokey sticks were overrated.

Guy who owns tubbys bought them out. I had the late night buffet about 2 weekends ago, pretty good deal. As stated earlier its not as good as AJ's but better than gumbys. Was just as packed as gumbys after bars closed. Should be interesting to see how busy they are during the day.

Shuttle was like some sort of reverse gremlin food for me.  Never, ever, eat that crap before midnight.

literally two days before they closed, a delivery guy from gumby's said that the corporate owners of gumby's had a huge cocaine habit and came into town and cleared out all of their vaults so they could purchase more and more cocaine.

If true, that's the best restaurant story I've ever heard.

My wife used to deliver there when we were dating (tons of free pizza). She said the corporate manager who landed here was so addicted to cocaine that he had worn away his nostril divider. This was what he told her, not her speculation.

only ate there after getting back from the bars. Which is partly their issue. That being said, i'm oddly beat up over this.

Yeah, it was horrible, but it was a staple of my college years.  So, I'm sort of upset about this.

Went there last year for the first time since '03.  Looked like it hadn't been cleaned/upkept/etc since '03.

Loads of memories from that place on Saturday post-football nights. Was a good place to get away from the shirttucks who would invade the ville after games.

Yeah.  Now that I think about it, all you pizza snobs can eat me because there were some good times in that place.  Got completely housed on $2 pitchers more than a few times.   :pbj:

if you're going to a place called Gumby's expecting great pizza well, you're probably a Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).
