THE NEXT STOP ON THE CoServ on the Road Tour 2024 is Sanger. Founded in 1886 by the railroad, the history of this town goes back more than a century, and city officials proclaim it the official Gateway to the Metroplex. Known for its small-town charm, Sanger boasts one-of-a-kind tourist destinations while promising to deliver many more. Every time I drive by the now-shuttered Johnie's, I lament that I'll never get to stop in for a slice of pie.

He was just entertaining a deranged fantasy about how he would piss his money away if he were rich. But the discovery that this chain I had almost completely forgotten had a second life somewhere fascinated me. So down the rabbit hole I went, investigating the ghosts of lesser-known American fast food chains and where and whether you could still find them.

LA's Vintage Diners, Then And Now

Both bone-in and boneless chicken are on the menu, which are both available with sauce options including soy, hot chili, and hot spicy. Pickled radishes are also served on the side, giving a light crispy bite to counteract the rich, juicy chicken. There’s no way the chicken chain founded by country legend Kenny Rogers still exists, but I Googled it anyway, because sometimes my cousin tells whatever you call a not-lie. It is totally gone in America — the last one was in San Bernardino County and it closed in 2011— but there are tons of them in Malaysia. My cousin had no intention of going to Malaysia, of course.

Nick's Cafe

The ads were awful because all 1970s fast food ads were awful. Yet because of their age, low budget and ephemeral nature, they’ve become otherworldly, as if taking place in purgatory. A savage journey to the heart of the greasy-as-hell, California fast food dream. 2024 All Season Dining Plans are valid any public operating day during the remainder of the 2024 season. An All Season Dining Plan added to a Season Pass is only valid for redemption exclusively by the registered passholder.

MIGUELITO’S AUTHENTIC MEXICAN RESTAURANT

The chicken is available country style with no heat all the way up to howlin’ which borders on painful to eat. Los Angeles may not be an ephemeral city, but it’s certainly the capital of ephemera. It’s terrible at holding on to its history, and punitive rent prices make it difficult to achieve any sense of consistency. Local institutions are routinely going out of business, and there’s always a sense that the places you like the most could just die out of nowhere one day, crushed under the uncaring boot of late capitalism. Pioneer Chicken is an endangered fast-food species and deserves our love and preservation.

That new Babe’s Chicken? It’ll be open before turkey time.

According to my mom, who ate there all the time, this shit was the kind of bad for you that drives you crazy with desire if you had it routinely and then never again. The sort of thing you’d move heaven and earth to have again, knowing full well it’s not the best, just something that can take you back in time. Indonesia is where Pioneer Chicken still soldiers on, 8,000 miles from where it started. The more important thing I learned is that there are two Pioneer Chickens left in Los Angeles, each stubbornly surviving for decades longer than all others. One is in Boyle Heights and the other’s in Bell Gardens.

A museum located on the south end of the downtown square, open every Saturday. For those who love history, the Sanger Area Historical Society is open every Saturday. They keep history alive; it is a great way to learn how the earliest settlers lived. If you enjoy outdoor activities such as wakeboarding, bass fishing, sailing, or hiking, Lake Ray Roberts is the perfect spot. Alternatively, if you’d like to slow down and do some volunteering, the Born 2 Be Therapeutic Equestrian Center offers equine therapy for children and adults with disabilities. The Babe’s Chicken Dinner House in Granbury opened on June 18, 2007.

Mrs. Knott’s Chicken Dinner Restaurant now features a full service bar, serving signature boysenberry-infused cocktails. With décor that pays homage to the Garden Dining Room that preceded it, the bar is at once rustic and modern, and a great place to retire to after a day of fun in the park. At Tokyo Fried Chicken, the bird is offered by the piece, as well as in a bucket, as part of a sandwich, or in a combo box. In the box, the supremely crispy pieces are served alongside a choice of sides which include curry creamed corn, soy glazed yams, and creamy potato salad.

There’s a whole or half bird available if feeding a group, while an order of wings or chicken tenders is always a good option. For a spicy kick try the buldak chicken sandwich, which translates to fire chicken.

This decades-old New Orleans-leaning Valley restaurant turns out reliable fried chicken by the piece. Diners can also sort through Bayou staples like gumbo and jambalaya to find fried chicken po’ boys and more. Experience Babe’s Chicken in the comfort of your own space! It’s not just another meal…it’s comfort food right to your door. In a common, ambient way, Pioneer Chicken was central to the Los Angeles experience, the myth history of the town. It was everywhere, like orange street lights or jacaranda trees, a fixture of the landscape.

Whenever I used to see the old Ship's sign towering over the corner of Olympic and La Cienega, I wished modern health codes encouraged more restaurants to have toasters on each table. Southern California was once dotted with old-school diners. At Culver City’s Honey’s Kettle, chicken is fried in enormous kettle drums until a thick, crispy coating is formed. It’s served with packets of honey meant to be slathered all over the chicken and fresh biscuits. In the center of the dining room you can’t miss our 9 foot neon cafe sign featuring a cowboy on a horse, twirling a lariat above his head.

Single Meal Deal Guests may redeem their Single Meal Deal voucher at any participating dining location to enjoy one entrée, one side item and one regular-sized Coca-Cola® fountain beverage. Were it not for Mrs. Knott’s Chicken Dinner Restaurant, Knott’s Berry Farm would not be the beloved, world class theme park it has become. To entertain guests waiting for a seat at his wife, Cordelia’s, popular restaurant, Walter Knott began erecting a collection of modest old west buildings that established the basis of Ghost Town. The restaurant serves all drumsticks, which are trimmed into lollipops before being marinated in salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and fresh culantro.

The Prince tends to pull people in for different reasons. Some are movie buffs eager to see a slice of LA, others are there for stiff, fun cocktails and the late-night hours. And yet more come simply for the fried chicken, a throwback menu item at this Koreatown haunt that can come as wings, full plates, spicy or not, and just about any iteration in between. Chef Mei Lin’s fried chicken sandwich is the centerpiece at Daybird, but the chicken tenders are not to be missed. She uses thigh meat for the sandwiches and juicy white meat for the tenders. The fries are the ideal crisp golden brown as well, which is a wonderful complement to the Sichuan-spiced sandwich.

Mexican food made with family recipes passed down for generations. A seasonal pumpkin patch that’s perfect for family photos for fall, Christmas and Easter. But there’s more to this town, and city officials say more growth is coming, making Sanger even more of a draw.

Cambodia Town’s restaurants are plentiful with colorful interiors, with options that never feel redundant. But an unexpected highlight at Monorom is its fried chicken which is always flavorful and crispy. For buckets of the good stuff, get to Dinah’s on Sepulveda. This staple diner-slash-chicken spot has been in the neighborhood for decades, serving up its bright red buckets of takeout fried chicken to the greater Westside. Don’t be afraid to add a few orders of gizzards or liver either.

LA's Vintage Diners, Then And Now

The restaurant has grown over the years into one of the largest in California, but the classic fried chicken dinner is still made the same way today using Mrs. Knott's recipes. Howlin’ Ray’s is still some of the hottest fried chicken in Los Angeles, even after close to a decade of being open. A line forms through Far East Plaza in Chinatown every day to score some of Johnny Ray Zone’s Nashville hot chicken.

The building was constructed around 1917 and originally sold Ford Model Ts. Out in front of our building you’ll find a Hart Parr Tractor. The 6,100-lbs 1920s era tractor is an model, which means 18 horsepower at the drawbar and 36 horsepower at the flywheel. The engine is a two cylinder mounted horizontally, and is capable of running on gasoline, kerosene or distillate. The tractor doesn’t have the lugs mounted to the wheels for traction because it was used for custom threshing and traveled over public roads, and those lugs would have torn the road into pieces.

This sign stood above the Corral Cafe in Dumas, Texas, during the ‘40s and ‘50s. Dumas is located in Moore Country, towards the top of the Texas panhandle. The southwest corner of the building is a monument we built to honor the building’s previous service.

There was the last Howard Johnson’s restaurant in upstate New York, recently closed because the owner was a sexual predator. There was Wimpy, a pre-World War II burger joint that no longer exists in America but thrives in South Africa. Then, there was Pioneer Chicken, a homegrown fried chicken chain endorsed by O.J. Simpson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, that once boasted 270 locations. There is a lot of great Korean fried chicken in Los Angeles, but Pelicana continues to stand out amongst the options.

Guests with Premium All Day Dining will also receive a Drink Wristband for unlimited Coca-Cola® fountain beverage refills every 15 minutes. It should come as no surprise that the Valley’s most celebrated Thai spot has some of the best fried chicken. Anajak’s Southern Thai fried chicken is succulent, crispy, and comes with a side order of sticky rice and spicy nam jim sauce. Download and print our Meal Plan Guide for a list of participating Knott's Berry Farm restaurant locations and your meal choices.

The Chimmelier fried chicken is also available at Jilli, a modern sool jib in Koreatown. This growing hot chicken enterprise is one of the most recognizable names in the game at the moment. Thankfully, fans who aren’t here for the heat can still find lots to like in the restaurant’s non-spicy fried chicken, available as combos with tenders, sandwiches, or quarter bird pieces.

The chicken is battered in cornstarch, club soda, and beaten eggs before being double-fried to achieve the optimal crisp. Before serving, the drumsticks are showered in “chicken salt” made with roasted rice, shiitake powder, and herbs. Whether bone-in or boneless chicken, Hoho Chicken is best eaten with a group. A bag full of fried chicken or a rice bowl can be taken up a notch flavorwise with sweet chili, garlic, coconut, lemon pepper, or hot fire options. In the pole barn out front you’ll find a 1940 Simms Ford Fire Truck – it’s a Ford 1-1/2 chassis converted by Simms Fire Equipment Company in San Antonio. The truck spent its entire life in Coleman, Texas, and fought its last fire around 1998.

A series of radio towers that were on the building when we began construction once transmitted for police and fire operations for many years, and we kept them in their original glory as a monument. It’s a window into the Los Angeles of the 1970s, of The Rockford Files, a Los Angeles that’s long been going, going, gone. Pioneer Chicken should be preserved as a historical landmark like Bob’s Big Boy, not razed and replaced, like Du-par’s in Studio City. In October, Quentin Tarantino was in Toluca Lake shooting Once Upon a Time in Hollywood — which is set during the Manson murders — and his crew erected a replica of the iconic Pioneer Chicken sign.

For fried chicken in the Valley look no further than Les Sisters, a Cajun restaurant in Winnetka. The fried chicken here is served simply with generous pieces of meat and a well-seasoned crispy coating. It always comes out hot and fresh and is best enjoyed with some sides like mac and cheese or Cajun fries. We have some additional tidbits to share when you’re sittin’ in the dining room – just ask to see our Babe’s Facts while you’re finishing up your salad. The loss was mourned a bit by the press and then life went on, but part of the city’s fast-food identity was lost. Mrs. Knott’s Chicken Dinner Restaurant first opened in 1934 with Mrs. Knott and her children serving the first customers in their tea room.

The patio waiting area walls are built out of petrified wood. The petrification of wood is possible in a few hundred years. This Babe’s Chicken Dinner House is located right next to the Arlington Music Hall, which opened in 1950 and still features the original theater marquee. Since 1974, the theater has featured Johnnie High’s Country Music Revue every Saturday night. Johnnie High’s show has opened the door for many successful singers including LeAnn Rimes, Steve Holy, Lee Ann Womack and many others.

We thought that most of the adults wouldn’t be in costume, but no. The adults not wearing some sort of pirate costume were odd man out. Getting dressed up in costume is not something I am generally a fan of. It is a rare Halloween when my arm gets twisted to put on a standby witch costume. However, in preparation for our Disney Cruise I ordered both kids a pirate costume.

Getting Ready for the Evening

Seeing fireworks launched from the ship over the ocean was such an impressive sight. If you ask Elizabeth her favorite Pirate Night activity her answer is an emphatic “makeovers at Pirates League”, but really that  is just the beginning of the Disney Cruise Pirate Night fun. Here you will choose exactly which make-up option you would like. There are some additional choices to be made during the princess pirate makeover such as eye shadow, blush, nail polish, and lipgloss color. The Pirates League makeover options are make-up only or make-up plus a costume.

She doesn't believe a vacation is complete without an adventure. Her husband and kids know well that "adventure" often is code for mishap or challenge and it usually results in a good story. They seek outdoor experiences whether in the mountains, on a beach or in the jungle of a tropical country. All the ones she hasn't yet taken, as well as those she plans on taking again. But she continues to extensively explore her home state of Colorado, spends lots of time wandering Texas, California, New Mexico, Costa Rica, Mexico, Norway and has even explored Kazakhstan. In addition to the obvious fireworks, there are also pirate characters, including an appearance and performance by none other than Captain Jack Sparrow!

Themed character meet and greets

No matter which activities you’d like to participate in, you can refer to the free Disney Cruise Line Navigator app to find times and locations. The typically over-the-top Disney fireworks show drew cheers and smiles everywhere we looked. Like everything Disney does, the Disney Cruise Line spares no detail and employs all sorts of special effects and jaw-dropping displays to make Pirate Night feel magical. Dinner items in the past have included options such as Jolly Rogers Barbecue Rib Salad, Pirates Gold-en Pot Stickers, and Chilled-to-the-Bone Honeydew Melon and Watermelon Soup. “Pirates of the Caribbean” will also be playing either on the Funnel Vision by the pool deck or inside the movie theater on board. Guests wishing to get into the pirate spirit may also stream the Pirates of the Caribbean films, or Peter Pan, via their television inside their stateroom.

Hi, I'm Kristi, the founder and content creator behind Disney Insider Tips. I have been obsessed with the magic of Disney since a small child and have been blessed with being able to travel with my family to the Disney parks & on the Disney Cruise line frequently. The purpose of this site is to share my insider knowledge to help others navigate the Disney theme parks and the Disney Cruise Ships with ease. Get there early to grab a seat up front or find a great viewing spot from the balcony. You will first want to make sure that your Disney Cruise will have a pirate night before going out and buying your pirate gear. This section guides you through the cascade of activities and shows that set the night ablaze with pirate merriment.

I’m so happy you’re here!

We noticed this change right away, and it was just the beginning of Pirate Night! We also noticed that everyone around the ship began showing up in their themed clothes, and there was a certain level of excitement in the air that was different from other nights onboard the ship. Whatever your level of comfortability, guests can dress up in as much or as little pirate-themed attire as they would like for the themed evening. Of course, a pirate’s gotta eat to be ready to party, so Pirate Night features a special menu for dinner at each of the Main Dining restaurants. Pirate Night is not available on Alaska cruises or Northern European cruises (think Norway and The Netherlands).

There’s really not a bad spot for the Disney Cruise Pirate Night show . But I do think the main deck is better than up on the sides for the fireworks. The upper deck on the left facing the stage may be the best spot to see the fireworks. Regardless, getting there early ensure that you can find a good place to set up. During Pirate Night, the physical menu is different and pirate-themed.

Stay for the Show and Fireworks

Now, on a shorter cruise, that means you’re only doubling up once, if at all. Well, aspiring swashbucklers, that concludes our guide to the Disney Cruise Pirate Party. Then, find out how to save on your next pirate adventure by booking your Disney cruise with us.

Likewise, don’t overeat at dinner and risk being too full to try something. As someone who typically loves Caribbean food and global flavors overall, this wasn’t my favorite dinner of the cruise. Even our delightful server couldn’t muster up much enthusiasm over the menu, and for good reason. Accordingly, some of the best fireworks views on Pirate Night can be had from the ship’s port side, as this allows you to see both the stage show and the fireworks from the same vantage point. The starboard side is also good when it comes to pyrotechnics, but you’ll miss a lot of the show.

Make sure to keep your eye on the ship’s funnel to spot Jack Sparrow making a daring fall onto the stage. Pirate Night fun extends beyond dinner and the deck party onboard the Disney Magic! You might join in on Pirate Trivia or a themed game show as one of the many onboard activities. There are lots of people in full pirate gear and make-up and it is awesome. I especially love to see when full families get into the costume spirit. My only rule is do the level of pirate night costume you are comfortable doing.

Select Disney Cruises in the Caribbean have a special event called Pirate Night. This event is a combination of pirate-themed live shows, fireworks, a pirate makeover option, a late night dance party with full buffet, and special character meet and greets. The whole family dressed in costumes for the evening’s show and dinner. Our kids had the best time pretending to be pirates as we walked the ship’s decks.

So the day you are able to book one of the Pirates League packages is the night you will have your Pirate Night. Also, Pirate Night festivities don't take place on Disney Marvel Cruise or Star Wars Disney Cruise, as there are other celebrations on those sailings. Due to environmental laws, the Alaskan itineraries and some European sailings do not have a Pirate Night. Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique transforms into The Pirates League just for the day where kids of all ages (yes, you too, Mom and Dad) are able to get pirate makeovers for an additional fee. But if dad forgot his puffy pirate shirt, he’s out of luck. If you get on the cruise and realize you forgot something, the shops onboard the ship do have select merchandise available.

One, we split up during the cruise sometimes to do our own things which certainly help. Plus, she and I don’t get to spend a lot of in-person time together so it was a nice change of pace for us. In fact, I’ve been on almost every single Disney cruise ship (one more to go!). On many of the Disney Cruises that I have sailed on, there has been a late-night buffet on Pirate Night.

• Viking Ocean Cruises
• Silversea
• Windstar Cruises

Silversea offers a unique crew-to-guest ratio that allows passengers to feel cared for throughout their journey on the sea. If minors are allowed onboard, find out if the cruise ship has designated adult-only areas, such as pools, lounges, or sundecks. These areas can provide a serene and tranquil environment away from families with children. Look for multiple dining venues, including speciality restaurants with diverse cuisines, as well as the flexibility to dine at your preferred time and with whomever you choose. Their river cruise itineraries focus on Central and Eastern Europe and offer activities like walking tours, kayaking, and bike rides through the countryside.

Focusing on the ends of the earth, Seabourn expedition cruises reach extremes like East Greenland, the Northwest Passage, Antarctica and the wild Kimberley region of Australia. While some of these voyages are a manageable 10 or 15 days, the focus is on the history and exploration of the destination and not as much focus on fun in the sun. Seabourn passengers can pass the time onboard with an espresso or martini at any of the onboard bars or lounges or arrange for an indulgent ensuite bubble bath—rubber ducky not included. Harmony of the Seas is one of the largest cruise ships in the world, carrying 5,497 passengers at double occupancy.

Best Cruises for Couples

While you can’t go wrong with any Quantum Class ship, our top recommendation for adults is Anthem of the Seas. As the second ship in the Quantum Class, Anthem of the Seas shines in her diverse itinerary options and high quality entertainment. In addition to The Lime & Coconut, another of the most chic bars for adults on Navigator of the Seas is The Bamboo Room. This Polynesian-inspired bar crafts some of the most fun, fruity cocktails on Royal Caribbean. In conjunction with the ship’s launch will be the opening of Hideaway Beach, a new adults-only beach at Perfect Day at CocoCay. Having access to this new venue will make your adult-focused getaway even more enjoyable.

Saga Cruises for the 50-Plus Cruiser

Adults will appreciate the impressive amount of windows around the ship, allowing you to see breathtaking views in nearly every direction. Whether at the ship’s champagne bar or in the Viking Crown Lounge, you can always find a quiet spot to relax with a view. Outside of the Broadway production are even more exciting entertainment choices, including a cabaret show in the expansive Two70 venue and live rock bands in the Music Hall. Outside of dining and drinks, Mariner of the Seas has just the right amount of entertainment. The ice skating rink, Studio B, hosts a production show that features twists, turns, and flips on the ice, whereas the theater hosts game shows, comedians, and dancing productions.

Viking Ocean Cruises

With The Cruise Web as your trusted partner, booking an adults-only cruise is a breeze. Our team of experts is ready to guide you through the process, ensuring that every detail of your journey is meticulously planned, and your voyage is seamless and unforgettable. Holland America tends to cater to an older demographic, but it does have exceptional service and dining at sea. While this cruise still allows children, there are enough options for kids to enjoy that it feels like an adults-only cruise.

Guests can enjoy complimentary meals at the Main Dining Room, Windjammer, and Park Cafe or specialty dining at Chops Grille, Giovanni’s Table, and Izumi. You certainly won’t find features like waterslides, laser tag, and skydiving onboard, although there is a rock climbing wall and Adventure Ocean kids programming. After a Panama Canal crossing, Radiance of the Seas spends the remainder of the year in the Caribbean. Departing from Tampa, guests can book 4, 5, and 7-night sailings to the Western Caribbean and Bahamas, some of which include a stop at Perfect Day at CocoCay.

Virgin's Scarlet Lady launched in 2021 and the line is quickly adding more ships to its roster, including Valiant Lady and Resilient Lady. The ships carry over 2,500 passengers and rooms are designed to accommodate one to four adult passengers. Outside of the Mediterranean, Viking Alaska or Caribbean cruises are an easy choice for those seeking adults-only cruising during busy summer travel seasons to regions that are otherwise wildly popular with families. In ports that require transportation into town (like Pireaus/Athens) coaches are provided at no charge. Oh, and if you return to port with a bottle of wine from Tuscany, there’s no corkage fee to drink it on board. Gratuities, drinks outside of meal times, and select shore excursions will cost extra, and premium beverage packages are available for purchase.

Additionally, Azamara designs its itineraries to maximize time off the ship, so it’s common for sailings to offer late-night stays or even overnights in ports. “While not strictly adults-only, another line adults should consider when traveling without children is Windstar,” says Clabbers. Whether you’re bringing the kids along or are planning an adults-only getaway, it’s helpful to know which Royal Caribbean ships are best for adults. After sailing on fifteen Royal Caribbean cruise ships, here are the seven ships I would recommend most to adults.

Emerald Waterways Cruises

In summary, Viking River Cruises is a standout choice for adult travelers in search of immersive, culture-focused, and tranquil journeys along some of the world’s most iconic rivers. In the South Pacific, tranquility isn’t just a state of being; it’s an integral part of the environment. The absence of urban noise and bustling crowds, the serenity of nature, and the rich cultural traditions that value peace and harmony create an atmosphere that makes it easy for adult travelers to find their own moments of bliss. Whether you’re seeking a romantic getaway or a solo adventure, the South Pacific’s tranquility offers an escape from the ordinary and an opportunity to reconnect with the essence of serenity. Whether you choose an adult-only vacation or one with children’s amenities, you will have an enjoyable time on any one of these cruise ships.

"I've done some personal research. We found that when you put kids in the pool, they scream, and we don't want that." Here are our picks for the best adults-only cruise lines, with a grown-up vibe to boot. Likewise, when British billionaire Richard Branson launched the first ship of his Virgin Voyages cruise brand two years ago, it was with no one under age 18 allowed onboard. The cruise line later riffed on the subject with ads showing kids very displeased that they couldn’t get in on the fun with grownups.

Viking came in at No. 1 in T+L's best mid-size ship category and river cruise category. Golden said the WBA Hall of Fame honoree's 50 river "longships" are "light-filled floating boutique hotels." The ship is also one of Royal Caribbean's smallest, carrying 1,998 passengers at double occupancy (compared to 5,734 on Wonder of the Seas).

However, since its inception, Royal Caribbean International has marketed itself as one of the best cruise ship lines for adults. Seabourn Cruises are wonderful for travelers who want to experience lavish cuisine aboard a small and intimate ship. This trend resulted from the increasing popularity of adult-only areas scattered aboard ships. Many cruise lines took note of this and began offering cruises geared toward adult entertainment and activities.
