This Connecticut restaurant is rolling back the clock to 1966 with 85¢ pancakes and 15¢ coffee for one day, according to a statement.
“Chip’s Family Restaurant is celebrating its 60th anniversary by inviting the community to join a day-long celebration at both its Fairfield and Orange locations on Monday, July 20th,” according to a statement.
Along with 60’s-priced pancakes, guests can look forward to “family activities, giveaways, historic displays and more,” according to Chip’s.
“For six decades, generations of Connecticut families have gathered around the tables at Chip’s Family Restaurant to celebrate birthdays, enjoy Saturday morning pancakes, catch up with friends and create traditions that span generations,” according to the restaurant. “Now, one of Connecticut’s longest-standing independent family restaurants is thanking the community that has made those memories possible.”
