Originally appearing at Other Waco Roads on Carbon-izer comes China Palace, a poorly-disguised KFC at 1824 West Waco Drive. The KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) operated from approx. 1982 to 2002, with China Palace here from 2002 to 2005. This was followed briefly by China Dragon (2005-2006) and from 2006 to approximately 2012 this was Adriana & Janette's (also known as Adriana & Jeanette's, but the sign said Janette's) Mexican & American Restaurant, followed shortly by Cancun (another Mexican food establishment). Sam's Southern Eatery opened in January 2014 but after 2019 it disconnected from the main Sam's chain and became a similar establishment called Shaan Southern Eatery. The little sombrero and tacos picture where the Colonel used to be (added by A&J's) is still there. The current building still looks like an 1980s-era KFC but currently painted blue and red.
