Windsor’s most popular dining place according to the ad above from June, 1954. From the best I can tell this must have been located in the lot east of where the Twisted Apron is today, around Wyandotte and Kildare in the Jubilee Parkette.

Chuck's was where The Willistead Restaurant is now. On the north side of Wyandotte. The Twisted Apron is across the street.
Since it's an "even" numbered addy it would be on the North side of Wyandotte. I think this was the original Walkerville Restaurant.
I seem to recall it by the name Chuck's Tavern and yes, it was where the Walkerville Restaurant is now. The old building was razed after a fire I believe.
Yes Chuck's was right across the street from the Twisted Apron. and it did have a major fire. I ate there many times and it had great food and was very popular through the late 40's and early 50's.
I believe Chuck was a sailor during the second world war and upon his return he established Chuck's Grill if my memory is correct the Decor was very naval. and food very good.
I believe it's the site of the present Willistead Restaurant. The old one did burn down. Had great chicken pot pie if I remember.
I remember going for dinner here with my family when I was a wee lad. Apparently I had a crying fit there one Mother's Day when I was a toddler and made my mom sit in the car with me while the rest had their meal. I'm told the owner Chuck started the Grill up after his time in the navy.
My grandfather and chuck ran this place together.

Had my wedding reception at Chucks Grill in 1969.
Ate there many times, I think it was Chuck and Dan's for a while.Chuck and Dan were sailors, veterans of WW II and it had a nautical theme. It was located where the Walkerville Restaurant parking lot is now. Burned down it the late 80"s, I believe.
