History of Curly's Family Restaurant

Live, Laugh, and Love!

Darwin Connelly bought the business from Curly Personius, (hence the name) in 1955. It was a small boxcar diner, with bar seating and a few booths. We have customers who remember working here as a teenager, they love to share their fond memories of that simple time. Over the years, we have changed in size and housed a mobile Bell Museum, Darwin had attached to the back of the restaurant. Many locals recall walking through the worldly collection he acquired. 

In 1992, Darwin's son Curt took over running the restaurant. Since then, we have remodeled 3 times, featuring custom sit-down booths. We pride ourselves on a clean, friendly atmosphere, so you may enjoy your dining experience.  Hopefully, you will become a faithful customer, that we can get to know for years to come.  

All of our food is still made from scratch, just as it originated 70 years ago! We hand-cut our steaks and chicken and buy quality seafood. 

We do our best to accommodate people's diets and allergies. We are a gluten-friendly restaurant; our soups and sauces are made with rice flour.  

Come in and visit this family tradition and enjoy a great atmosphere and great service!!
