The founder John Bahrs, the son of a tall ship captain, and his wife Florence, had their beginning in Newark where they owned and operated a small neck tie manufacturing business. One year they had a robbery and their entire supply of silk was wiped out, this brought them to Highlands where they purchased a beached houseboat being used as sport fisherman's motel as well as a rowboat rental business. Consequently, they started serving meals to the fisherman staying aboard the boathouse motel. Jack and Flo did all of the cooking. Helping run the new operation were young son's John Jr. (Bud), Al, Ken, and daughter Ruth. The family worked together as the shore business grew popular. Soon after the expansion came the Great Depression. Though some tough times were had, seafood was abundant and so were the customers. Bud & his wife Peg kept a watchful eye over the restaurants growth. Customers arrived by boat, cars and at one time by train.
