It's become the source of an intense family debate... As we frequented the place since it's inception in 1952! I remember it being shut down for a few years, then re-opened as Steak and Stein, and then bulldozed for Kohl's. (I consider this sacrilege, place should have been declared a historic monument!) if you could email me at KMunchhof@aol.com... I'd be deeply interested in this piece of history, which is not very well documented online!

It's been a couple of Asian seafood places since then.<br /><br />I still run into people from time to time who went to King Arthur's, and they all remember it fondly. Every once in a while I get a visitor/commenter on the blog who came across it by searching for King Arthur's.JustinMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01976061296214532098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319445054584013211.post-82944505331890573712011-01-07T19:34:00.535-05:002011-01-07T19:34:00.535-05:00My family moved from Arcadia to ND when I was 10 y...My family moved from Arcadia to ND when I was 10 years old back in 1982.

I will say that the cheese bread still remains intense (and cheap at 50 cents a slice).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319445054584013211.post-1815263310130655172009-12-04T13:40:06.553-05:002009-12-04T13:40:06.553-05:00I never get tired of comments about your balls.I <i>never</i> get tired of comments about your balls.SuperLargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15270320386373076756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319445054584013211.post-9224659618108952062009-12-04T12:05:29.325-05:002009-12-04T12:05:29.325-05:00No, it's a much bigger boat, although it looks...No, it's a much bigger boat, although it looks similar.
