Actually, it was Dybala's Golden Fryers.

Is Eagle Express an improvement over Dymbala's? On Google Maps (Street View) you'll find it at 2nd St. and Commerce.

[gm1990ss]

Dymbala? Eagle Express has been open for about 2 years after changing their name. I still remember before the drive thru opened.

yes it is 2nd and commerce.

ok, ok. i get what you mean about Dymbala's. Eagle express dosen't do chicken, they sell breakfast tacos, and it's a beverage barn by other means. I was reading elsewhere that the chicken shack was around until the mid 80's.

Now I was born in 1990 and have lived here all my life, I remember my dad talking about this movie. My dad actually saw Speilberg in person. Though he said the chicken at the shack sucked.

It was actually called Autry's fried chicken, it burned down in the 80's someime and was never rebuilt. The Gomez's built a drive thru beverage barn in the 90's and it stands there today.
