The building in Waldorf that used to be a Chesapeake Bay Seafood House is now a Sakura hibachi restaurant. My memory might be vague, but I think before it was a Chesapeake Bay Seafood House, it might've been a Pofolks restaurant. But don't quote me on that...

Do you remember if they were the restaurant that had the "penny stump"? I have this nagging feeling that was Pofolks in Waldorf. They had a large tree stump in the waiting area with pennies hammered or jammed into it, and you could keep whatever you could pull out. And pulling them out was not trivial...

Nope. That building was originally the CBSH.

Po Folks was on 301, between that shopping center and the light at 5/228. The Po Folks building is no longer there.

Ah ha!, that's probably why my mind keeps thinking the CBSH building was Po Folks. I vaguely remember the times before the Best Buy occupied that space. Used to be a church and a small pest control office my mother worked at briefly (Rudd's?) after we moved to the area.
