The Chick Inn (6325 Upper River Road) burned down some years ago, and was rebuilt. It's out on River Road where there's almost-annual flooding, and so the owners were required to build the new place up on stilts, in a manner of speaking.
First time I saw the new place I couldn't quit looking at The Ramp.
The whole building is up high, so there's this massive construction project to get diners up there to the door. A big deck of the overly-ambitious homeowner type runs along two sides of the building; steps go up the side and down the front, and there on the side by the parking, alongside those side stairs, is this big back-n-forth ramp.
Totally according to code.
Inside you'd have some trouble navigating between the crowded tables. The restroom is regulation access but there's lots of clutter to get to it.
But wow! That ramp! You gotta love Chick Inn just for the ramp.
Wow! Whatta Ramp at the Chick Inn
