Not only does this malt shop rock, so does the food and the atmosphere.

Ever felt like you wanted to get in to a time machine and go back to the 50s? Well here is your chance. My family found this great little restaurant thanks to an email I got about it and how it was free for kids on Mondays with the purchase of an adult meal. Now, I didn’t know this place even existed until I got this email, but when I saw malt shop, how could I resist?

Boppin' Bo's Malt Shop and Grill

Then it got even better, I found out they had unlimited fries with every meal. (Finally, a place I could take my son that he wasn’t going to leave hungry and wanting more when he got home!) We got to listen to 50s and 60s music all throughout dinner and if you know me, I love 50s and 60s music! That is what I have on in the car 90% of the time.

My son not leaving Bo's Hungry

I loved it when we walked in and was greeted by a cute little waitress all dressed up just like a 50s diner waitress in the light blue outfit, pen and pad in hand, ready to seat us. I really thought we had gone back in time as they seated us in the red glitter bench seats and surrounded by pictures and memorabilia from the day.

The only thing I think was missing for us was the fact that I wasn’t able to drive up in my 1951 Chevy. (Still not running, working on it though) I can’t wait until this summer when we have it up and going and fully restored and can take a trip back there to make the experience complete.

I’ll give you a little hint, though the children eat free on Mondays, if you want an even better deal, I suggest you check out their Facebook fan page and write down the quote. I’m not going to tell you what it is, but what they have listed online is nothing compared to the deal we got when we arrived, the deal we got was even better!

If you are interested in living near this great restaurant, give me a call and I can find someone to help you and we would love to see you one Saturday as we pull up in our ’51 Chevy and have lunch with you.

Boppin Bo's is reason enough to visit Beaverton. Going to put it into my GPS.

Hi Todd, we have Fifties Dinner here in Fremont Ca.  During summer time people bring there 50,s cars and enjoy food and old songs. That food in the picture looks great.

What a great way to spend a Saturday! Building memories with the wife and kids.

The kids will remember these outings for ever. In the late 50's my Father bought a driving horse and a democrat wagon with two seats. Most summer Sundays we'd take that wagon as a family and go visiting or picnicking. In the summer Friday nights were for drive ins. A big paper bag of home popped corn, thermoses of Kool-Aid all four kids Mom and Dad and off we'd go. Dad's new station wagon or better yet Mom's old 48 Hudson.

Kids from three to at least sixty two will remember!

Your kids are lucky Mr Clark!

Put a quarter in the Jute Box on Bill Haily or Johny Hortorn and order me a pineapple malt, hold the malt!

Hi Todd - That's a great local post, and fun photos too.  There was a similar place where I sued to live in Southern California.  It felt like you stepped back in time or to a Happy Days set.  Looks like a lot of fun.

Todd,

Now that is a mouthful!!! It is good to know your son had his hunger pangs satisfied. When I make it to Oregon, I will need to try this place.
