I've seen a couple here i had forgot about, Burger Chef, Sambo's, Kens Pizza was my first job in Jax, Ill. Ahhh the glory days........

Putch's cafeteria..in the LL of Blue Ridge Mall.

Here's another we had down the road from us in Winston-Salem, mid-70s: Ollie's Trolley.

Very unique. Seasoned french fries, burgers had some kind of different sauce or seasoning on them.

They ever have those in the Midwest?

I also forgot about

Sirloin Stockade
Der Weinersnitchzel(or something like that)

Sambo's were Denny's.

Used to be one still by the name Sambo's in Santa Barbara.
They finally changed the name about 10 years ago.

Closed down a couple years after that.

Der Weinersnitzel was pretty good, until they switched to turkey dogs.

We used to eat at the Country Kitchen a lot when I was young. They had the juke boxes at every table like Rain Man mentioned, and if you ate all the food off your plate you received a token you could use for some worthless junk out of the gumball machines.

Cripes. How did I leave Sirloin Stockade off my list? I only spent five years of my life working there and eating there. I have many fond memories of Sirloin Stockade.

Texas Tom's

Sirloin Stockade?

That totally rings a bell.

In Independence?

Back in the Venture and Wild Woody's days? Also Rustlers BBQ which sucked as best as I can remember.

We used to have a Happy Joe's right by us. They had the window where you could watch them make the pizzas and an ice cream shop in the front. That place rocked.

We used to have a couple Showbiz's here too, but they're called something else now. Their pizza was terrible.
