GuestBook:
I was in the first bunch that put the wagon on top of the the building. That was a long time ago when Toad owned the restaurant. Also my sister was a waitress here about the same time. Jean Armstrong
Good to come back and visit the valley and our favorite T-Bone Tooters. Born here 90 years ago, baptized at St. Peters 82 years ago- Come back every year for 4 months- CA the rest of the time.
Love it here!
My parents brought me out here in the 50's & 60's. I always had the hot roast beef sandwich, mashed potatoes and a saucer of butter beans.
I thought this was a long way from Staunton!
We aren't long time visitors of this establishment, probably 2 or 3 years, but we thoroughly enjoy the decor and the friendly atmosphere.
Thanks for the good times, good food, and good friends.
I used to come here every weekend from Fishersville. It was a great place to eat and drink. Their steaks were the best - it covered the whole platter.
I worked evenings and weekends for Toad during high school. I graduated in 1946 and moved to Verona and went to work at Celanese. I'm a widow again and retired. Have lots of fond memories of T-Bone Tooter and Churchville.
Born and raised near Union Church. Had many happy parties and days here. Had lots of friends back in those days.
The food & service here is perfect.
Mid 1940's - I used to go ground hot hunting with Capt. Jack Critzer. Then we'd stop here to eat. Food was good and nobody dumped tea in my lap! Thank you Dianne's Son!! You really were a neat waiter!!!
When I was a little girl my family often came to visit my Aunt Edna and Uncle Walter Tullen. I felt so grown up when my cousin Dawn and I were allowed to walk by ourselves to T-Bone Tooters for an ice cream cone! That was only the first of many happy memories of T-Bone Tooters, and I am so glad to see the proper name restored!
I had a real nice time looking at pictures and talking with our (old) good friend.
I worked part time in the thirties for Toad Armstrong. Their was a pool room in the next room. When I wasn't busy I shot pool so much - I haven't shot pool since those days.
I thought the hot roast beef and turkey plates were the greatest.
We met here in 1986 for the first time and were married in 1989. So definitely this place has a very special meaning to us.
In the early 50's I remember T-Bone Tooter as a very friendly place to eat and the best t-bones in the area. A great place to hang out.
We came here in the late 40's and early 50's. We really enjoyed the fellowship, the food, and good entertainment.

T-Bone was a treat to come to with the Lonegrone family and old friend Harry Malcolm and his wife were neighbors and had the restaurant.
Lived in Churchville in house behind T-Bone Tooter. Remember when it was owned by the Malcolms in the late 70's. Children loved to come here to eat (Ive, Yonya, and Heather Thompson) While the Forbes owned they had the best breakfast, especially the scrambled eggs and home friend potatoes.
All the years we've been coming here there has always been a visitor at our table - a fly!! Always enjoyed this place for its laid-back country flare!
We came here in the early 50's. We had a camp at west Augusta then but made it our home in 1996. We used to stop and eat supper. So glad you put the sign back. I always called it T-Bone Tooter.
We remember coming here in the 1940's after the basketball games with the North River and Churchville. After we were married we visited here with the Houff's. We are pleased to know that T-Bone Tooter is back!
The food was most enjoyable!
It's a neat place to eat. Remember when T-Bone Tooter was built Robert helped put a wagon and toilet on the roof. Keep up the good work!
My parents brought my brother and me to eat t-bone steaks in the 1950's... probably the first t-bone steak I ever ate. Rollo Houff, Houff's Grocery, used to cut the steaks for here so we knew they were good! If my memory is right, Rollo Houff's brother ran the T-Bone Tooter around that time. Good memories!!
In the summer of 1954, I lived here with my parents Bob & Goldie Acord. This was an appliance store.
Used to come here in the 1940's. Remember Toad Armstrong well. Toad played basketball. After the game he would come back to the restaurant and tend counter in the same outfit he played basketball in.
I remember T-Bone Tooter from the 60's and 70's. It was a nice place to gather with friends and enjoy a great meal.
Am so glad it's back to T-Bone Tooter. I knew the food would be great just like it used to be!
I remember when "Toad" Armstrong had this place. We moved out here in 1960. It was a special place to come and eat.
My memories of T-Bone Tooter are from back in the mid 70's. The Malcolms owned it and my mom would drop me off here every morning to eat breakfast with Kenny and Steve Malcolms. Then we would walk to school.
[Waitress for MG's and T-Bone Tooter]
My favorite memory here is enjoying all my customers over the last 5 1/2 years. They're all like family to me. Another thing is the owners I have become friends with Benny & Dianne Rankin, Mary Joe, and Chuck Forbes.
We always enjoyed coming here it was T-Bone Tooter. The food was excellent and service really good. We were so excited about the re-opening and hope you will be successful in your new venture. Hope to see you often!
