they had the foot long hot dogs, right?Dog N Suds once had over 600 locations and now only around 15 are left,,
When I was little, everybody was going to the BBF (Burger Boy Food-o-rama). Home of the whirling satellite!
Duff's Smorgasboard in Columbus - remember going there for my parents' bowling banquets and on Mother's Day back then. Wasn't the Columbus location called David's Buffet prior to Duff's?
Funeral home - yes, Cols has one that used be a Bonanza steahouse. I've gone there for a few visitations, invariably I'll look at the bier in one room and think "yep, that's where the salad bar was".
Rax - was called "Jax" in the 1970's before they changed and expanded. I believe Circleville and Lancaster still have a Rax. Went to the Lancaster one a few years ago, looked like the original carpeting and fixtures. Food was okay, the surroundings looked tired and run-down.
TGI Friday's - every time I see one, I shudder. Many decades ago, my buddy and his gf fixed me up with a blind date for dinner at TGIF. My first girlfriend had recenly sent me a Dear John letter, and I was still sulking about it during the meal. I think I asked my date for her phone number afterward, and she politely declined. I've avoided Friday's ever since, lol.
The 20 Restaurant Chains That No Longer Exist
Chain restaurants like Applebee's, Fridays, Chili's and Outback may dominate highways and mall [...]popculture.com
Do not recall most of these. We still have a couple Frisch's Big Boy's in my neck of the woods. Chi-Chis and Ponderosa are ones I recogonize (I miss Ponderosa TBH).
In NWOhio there was a small Midwest chain called Sveden House which was dynamite smorgasbord style. We also had Rax, Ya-Ya's Chicken, and Original Pancake Houses. Godfather Pizza is another but they still have some down South and in Florida.
Be curious to hear some others?
I don't know. I just remember that one of my younger brothers used to get up early and clean up their parking lot before school when he was in jr hi. I never ate out when I was a kid because we always had free food at home.they had the foot long hot dogs, right?

Po' Folks had real wooden floors and served drinks in mason jars, iirc.Anyone remember Duff's Smorgasbord? There was one near Belden Village.
And Po' Folks? There is still a handful of them in Florida.
I remember my friends talking about Farrell's when I was in high school, but never went myself.Farrel's. Any of those still around?
and there was a place with free peanuts, shells all over the floor. Can't recall the name of that one.
Penguin Point. We had one. Van wert as well. In 2017 I saw a couple in northern Indiana but they looked much diff...unsre if they were the same franchiseBurger Chef for every time I could not stomach the High School Cafeteria lunch
Penguin Point Tenderloins
Rax Roast Beef
Last one closed three years ago in California..Been beating my brain trying to think of this ice cream place. We had to drive across town to the new mall. You got a free sundae on your birthday but I remember most was this monster sundae.

I don't believe so. Roy Rogers was all about roast beef and not burgers. Saw plenty of them on family road trips, but the only Roy Rogers I ever ate at was in Pittsburgh's Station Square during my 8th grade class trip.Roy Rogers was a copycat Hardee's, no?
Like Rally's/Checkers, Krystal's/White Castles.
Wow, haven't thought about that place in a long time! Only ate their pizza once or twice because they had a coupon in the Entertainment book. Mellet Mall, a.k.a. Canton Centre had one.Are there still any Scotto Pizza places? Use to be in every DeBartolo mall.
The concept is still alive but it's all digital now with an app rather than printing a coupon book.Anyone know if they still publish the Entertainment coupon books that various organizations would sell as fundraisers?

BK brought back the Yumbo for a limited time about 5 years ago. There's probably a reason it took 40 years to make a comeback and hasn't come back again.HA! I waz right!

Come out to Avon for the Glenville game in Week 3. Both return a ton. Get your hot dog fix on the way.Might have been. It was good. When BK first opened, it was the Yumbo, Whaler and Whopper made it different from Micky D's.
