I was eating pancakes this morning and all of a sudden, memories of tiger butter came rushing into my mind. My family used to eat there every weekend when I was young; their pancakes were the best. This was in Lufkin, TX. PC crowd shut it down though. :|

Apparently the original one is still open.

It's also interesting to note that the restaurant name didn't have anything to do with the book in the first place, that apparently came about afterwards.

Yep, Sambo's in Santa Barbara on Cabrillo St. is still open. I eat there every once in a while

Have they removed decorations associating it with the book?
 
Oh hell yes...not the best food, but they were open 24 hours to satisfy your munchie needs...😉 IMO, they were better than Denny's, IHOP, etc, surpassed perhaps only by Perkin's Cake & Steak...:roll:
I remember all the hub-bub that was raised about the name, (among other things) late 70's-early 80's...and most of them closed their doors.

What was wrong with the book?
Wasn't it about a little boy who outsmarted some tigers in India?

Check the Wikipedia entry I linked. It didn't even have anything to do with the book initially, that all came later.
 
Yes i do . There was a Sambo's on the corner of Campbell Ave. and San tomas Acquino Rd. in Campbell Ca.(suburb of San Jose). in the late 60's early 70's.
 
Haha...totally I remember that place. They had pictures of little black Sambo all over the restaurant

Anyone remember Hobo Joe's? Was right across from Sambo's where we lived

I remember that place:thumbsup:

 
Does anyone remember Sambo's? (Lufkin, Tx)
Great.
Now, can you help me remember who bought out that location.
It was another breakfast type diner and was only open for a short
time before it closed.

Also, across the street was a hot dog/icecream store.
Can't remember the name of that place either.

Help?

I've never heard of a restaurant called tiger butter. Seems like a very dumb name for a restaurant.
