Not nearly as old as some of these really nice photos you've shared... but since you're taking requests...

Little Pigs on Highland. I ate there once a week while at MSU. Loved that place. They had a very rich, dark bbq sauce.

Awesome, thanks.
My dad always referred to it as Three Little Pigs on Highland.
But the only THREE I knew was (and still is, I think) on Quince.
The one on Highland was always known by my generation as simply Little Pigs.
Ran by a Greek family I seem to recall. Good stuff.
