From the same Windsor Tourist Guide of 1954, comes this ad that has been posted on this site previously. It was last posted back in 2008. But that was five years ago, and it is an interesting ad, that is now 49 years old. There aren’t too many restaurants in Windsor still serving up dishes after a half century…

Cartier Place? Is that now Freedom Way? When did the tunnel exit change from Maiden Lane, to Park St.?
Bring back the old signage, much better than what they have now.
...and it is good once again that Thom is behind the wheelhouse. Glad he is back, the food is much better than it was the last few years.
Anyone know when the Tunnel BBQ was originally built?
I believe 1941 Bonnie.
It's a terrible shame the place had a devastating flood over the weekend.
They will most likely be shut down for months.
Parker Construction (a local company) has the job thank God.
Hi Bonnie
I remember it being there when I was about....7or 8 yrs.old and that's a loooong time ago. You know how long ag
o it is .
The exit for bus passengers was off Ouellete until Transit Windsor took over when the tunnel corp. ceased bus service. The car exit was always on to Park St. Check posts from last fall showing opening ceremony.
Anybody else have a sudden urge for ribs and some kind of cream pie for dessert? Math says 59 years. Only reason I know is due to the fact there is a direct co-relation between the age of this ad and my age!
Over 70 years in business according to their website.
72 to be exact.
My first transfer to Windsor in the summer of 1950 I took my first meal there.
The ribs with the works was a big surprise to me: $2.95. (I never forget a bargain, even if it was 62 years ago, ha ha)
