Anyone ever eat at Mrs. Johnson's Chicken Dinner?

Do any of you have memories of eating at this place? It was located just a few miles south of Chesterton on Route 6, near the intersection of US 6 and Indiana 49, as I learned after doing some research. I remember trips to this place after church on Sundays, and I remember thinking that I would absolutely die of starvation by the time we drove out there from Hammond, waited for a table (There was ALWAYS a long wait for a table.), ordered our food, and waited for it to be served. Mom and Dad took me there several times as I was growing up. My sister, who is thirteen years older than I, remembers Mom and Dad taking her there, so I guess my trips to Mrs. Johnson's started almost from the day I was born. I only remember having gone there durimg my late pre-teen years and throughout my early teenage years, which would have been in the late 1950's through the mid 1960's.
