built & occupied by the George Washington
Grant Heagey family early in the past century. We
enjoy meeting his Family, Grand & Great Grandchildren, Nieces &
Nephews and hear the stories they tell of the family & home the
restaurant once was. The second story of the building remains
intact to this day.
Hi, I'm Tammy Keplinger Hughes and
together with my youngest son Ryan Hughes we became the fourth owners
of this fabulous eatery since 1958. Our History with The Avenue
Restaurant began in the Spring of 1995 when my oldest son Brad Hughes
began working for Frank & Jean Herring, the second owners of this
great home-style restaurant. Ryan joined his brother working at the
Avenue the Summer of 1997. Mark Cropp was the owner during Ryan’s
employment and he served Mark with Great dedication during this
time. When Mark decided to sell the restaurant Ryan and I agreed to
purchase it. With Ryan’s years at The Avenue and knowledge of the
property, and my extensive background in Store Management, We looked
at ourselves as a matched set. My oldest son Brad joined the Military in 1998 and is
currently still Serving Our Country. Brad would say to me "Mom, We Are
Happy To Be Here, Proud To Serve!" which became our Motto. We at The
Avenue Look forward to Serving You! We are so very proud of our
friendly, hard working staff (about 40 of us),
some family, some friends all “great” people with the desire to
prepare the best quality food for you and to serve you with our
friendly hometown kindness.
