Saved by the Bell themed restaurant is a real thing


Okay, time out everybody.

A new Saved By The Bell-themed diner and bar is coming to Chicago’s Wicker Park to help you relive your childhood ’90s nostalgia, reports the Chicagoist.

The venue, called Saved By The Max, will be modeled after the Max Diner that the high school students from the cheesy ’90s show frequented for burgers, fries, shakes, and teenage shenanigans. It is reportedly not connected to NBC, which aired the program, nor the production company Rysher Entertainment. But it’s sure to dredge up some nostalgia, and maybe even attract a guest star or two. What is Lark Voorhies up to these days, anyway?

Menu items will be named after all the most popular characters, including Zack Morris (Mark Paul Gosselaar), Kelli Kapowski (Tiffani-Amber Thiessen), A.C. Slater (Mario Lopez), Jessie Spano (Elizabeth Berkley), Lisa Turtle (Lark Voorhies), and Screech Powers (Dustin Diamond). You can feast on fare like AC sliders, or Jessie-inspired preppy BLTS. And there will also be alcoholic beverages based on show themes in which you can indulge. (Maybe a Brick Phone Beer, Belding Bellini, or Freeze Frame French Martini?)

For the super-fans, if you show up in a show-themed costume, you could win $100 as a daily prize. Cue the stone-washed jeans and neon tank tops.
