Notes: Franz Joseph Fabacher opened his Oyster House and Hotel on Gravier Street, New Orleans, in 1880. Joseph Fabacher would later open a restaurant at 137 Royal Street.  In addition to the dining room on the ground floor, there was a Ladies Cafe; the hotel was on the second floor. In 1908, the Ladies Cafe was renovated into the Ladies Grape Arbor, with wood trim and grape vines, illuminated to simulate a moonlit night.

Around 1905, Peter Fabacher, one of several grandsons, opened Fabacher's Rathskeller on Canal Street, at which point the Royal Street restaurant added "Original" to its name.

The original Fabacher's closed in 1915 and everything in it was sold at auction.

Peter's restaurant, Fabacher's Rathskeller, contained three dining venues. The dining room seated about 100 customers. The lunch room was open 24 hours. The cafeteria was open from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. In January 1921, during Prohibition, federal agents raided his rathskeller, and arrested Peter Fabacher.  The restaurant closed later that year.

John Maddock of England produced china crested with the elk head above "Fabacher's" and clusters of flowers below. A red line flanked by green pin lines is mid-rim, flanking the crest.
