Located at the corner of Hickory and Lydia Streets in Germantown, Flabby's has been serving the Schnitzelburg community for over 50 years.
Flabby's evolved from a grocery store, Heinz's, operated on this site. In 1952, Jim "Flabby" Devine established his family operated business. He was a bricklayer by trade. In this 1890 building, food was prepared in the resident kitchen upstairs and sent down by "dumbwaiter" to the downstairs barroom. Flabby's Famous Crust Chicken quickly became a favorite weekend attraction. Lines formed on weekends out the door and around the corner. Customers could also cash a paycheck, debate politics, or handicap horses. For over 40 years the Devine family carried on this local landmark. In continuous operation, the Haner/Mazzoni family became proprietors in 2000. The family invites you to join us. |
