I talked to Rick (the owner) this morning. He said it was had two other names - Fowlers and C&C. I forgot to ask which it was in the 1950s but hope this helps. If not, I can ask more questions next time I'm there.
I've been in Pittsburg, KS. all my life. It's been Bob's Grill since as far back as I can remember.
