Yes, along with "Hokie Grill". It was fall '92 or spring '93 I believe.

I was in Vawter right next door to Owens those years. Breakfast there every morning. I actually loved the old school open room dining they had. Cook to order omlettes, and fresh sandwiches for lunch. Staff was super nice. Very personal experience. There weren't any national brands at first. ** Edited by Techsupport at 12/12/2025, 9:04:15 AM

I worked “underground” in the Shultz kitchen tunnels. Interesting job. But

Wasn’t Owens converted to food court style around 91 to 93?
