I went to the Daly on Beech Daly as long as I can remember. Now Roger St.Antoine and I go to the one in Livonia every year when we come from California.

I lived on Currier, close to the original Daly. Moved to California in 61. Every trip back I would go from the airport to the Daly and call my sister in Livonia and she would ask "which Daly are you at?" Roosevelt & Robichaud grads still meet there.

Met my husband at the Daly Drive In in Lincoln Park where I was a car hop from 1966 - 1967. Remember Wally Watkins (owner), Pat, Clara, Marlene Salsbury and Wendy Hackmier, (friends & fellow carhops) very well. Still go to the Livonia Daly after all these years for a taste of memories. I have several pictures of the old gang that used to hang out there. Glad to see you can get their Daly sauce there now. Sandy Birkett (was)

Grew up near the Greenfield and Joy Rd Daly in Detroit, and used to cruise Dalys, Speedys on Greenfield and Big Boys at Grand River and Greenfield regularly in the early 60s. Great memories in a red MG convertible eating melted cheese and chilis (now you can them Chee Chee Burgers) wrapped in wax paper for 29 cents. Now I still frequent the Livonia Dalys with my 86 year old Mom and 43 year old son: 3 generations HOOKED!

My wife, Kathy and I enjoyed the Daly's on Wayne road. Great food all around, especially foot longs with everything. My wife loved Barney's cooking. Her Mom went to school with him. Shakes are great too!

I've been going to the Daly's on Plymouth Rd in Livonia since about 1973 (I graduated from Bentley HS in 1976). I've been living in Georgia since 1985 and when I come home to visit, Daly's is one place I go at least once. I'm really glad you are still there. Memories for sure...

I lived at 5 points in Romulus so I was right by the one in Romulus on Huron River Dr. I just loved the Daily Burger, Shakes and Daly Dog. The Daly Burger Sauce and the Chili are the greatest. I just visted Michigan from Tennessee and I went and took my family straight to Livonia to Daly's My family loved it.

This institution was a part of growing up in Livonia. From my paper route days, we would go on Saturday morning after paying our bill and have a burger or foot long, fries and a malt for $1.14, almost a third of our weekly profits. Then of course there was the cruising days as we grew older. Dalys to Big Boys and back. Pretty harmless stuff and gasoline was about .25 gallon. Got to meet a lot of people and saw some awesome cars.
