Bill Knapp's

From ArborWiki

Bill Knapp's restaurant was a much-beloved Ann Arbor institution with several stores at Westgate, Carpenter Road, and South State. Favorite dishes included the signature Bill Knapp's chocolate cake and Fish-In-A-Basket. Bill Knapp's went out of business in the early 2000s as a new management team managed to bankrupt the chain within a matter of months after taking over.

Founded in Battle Creek.

Bill Knapp's had a notable birthday deal: your age as a percentage off on your bill on your birthday. This made it a favorite birthday gathering spot for octo- and nono-generians.
