Enoch’s Dinner Club on the Northwest Side preceded Fuddruckers and Macaroni Grill.
A 1979 plat map shows the location of the short-lived Super Water Slides amusement park at 10331 Desert Sands Drive.When I first started writing this column in February 1992, it wasn’t uncommon to get questions — and answers — from readers who remembered places and events from the 1930s. This week, we’re looking into places that were popular in the early 1980s and are now part of local history, even if not well-represented in the written record.
The diners themselves were hand-picked, starting with 25 people Romano invited to a free preview dinner. Acting as a focus group, they were asked what they thought of the experience, and — if they’d enjoyed it — to provide names of 10 people who also should receive invitations to belong. Romano sold Enoch’s after a few years. It’s listed in San Antonio city directories through 1987, with Dow L. Roberts as proprietor from 1983 onward. Likewise, Romano sold Barclay’s in the early ’80s and was succeeded by Mike Pfeffer, then Ray Hymel before the bar dropped out of the directory at the end of the decade.
