  6. My mother had her retirement party there. I think that was in the mid-1980's. I remembered it as being a nice place with good food, atmosphere and service.

  7. Hi, I remember this place!!! I lived in Lincoln my whole life, and remember the 2 white cars parked in front the Rolls and the Excalibur. The owners lived near me in Lincoln. I can’t remember their name. When did it close down ?

    1. Henry was the head cook. Abby the owner. I worked there as a kid, dishwasher then buss boy. I lived near Abby and she used to drive me home after closing. She ran a tight ship!

  9. I believe way back the King's Inn Restaurant was located on Mendon Rd in Cumberland - that building has changed hands many times. I believe its
    Godavari Indian Restaurant now. Please tell me someone else remembers this!?

  13. I was part of the construction crew that put a very large addition on the King's Inn, I believe it was for banquets and weddings. Part of the new construction enclosed an enormous rock that was adjacent to the building It was painted gold and near the cocktail lounge At that time Henry Luke was the boss He had a beautiful car collection. The one I recall best was a 1959 Cadillac convertible. and yes the place did have rats, But many restaurants have rat problems, due all to the food content going out in the trash...
