What Restaurants did you grow up around? I'm not talking super fancy and yes fast-food counts. What distinctive memories do you associate with them?

Mine?

Taco Via-(the lit up menu of the various taco plates displayed on the wall), WhiteCastle-On a paper plate with fries and Pepsi, Arthur Treachers(off Noland), Tippins(off Noland), Perkins(the free toy well), Country Deli(awesome local deli to Blue Springs heated sandwiches on Sourdough buns), Zarda BBQ and Dairy, FunHouse Pizza(of Course)(Dark. Video- Games,Electonic Riding Bull and 25-cent Taco night) Annes Sante Fe.

Keep in mind I never see these anymore living in Georgia.

Great place, mostly restaurant but had a thriving little bar scene on the side

Mostly because the bar had its own little isolated corner where the rowdies couldn't intrude on dinner... great place to work as a 20-21 year old, all the free food you could eat and they'd always serve underage me at the bar after work

Just saw an estimate than one in six US Restaurants have gone under since March. Terrible. It'll take a long time, if ever, to recover.

Old restaurants around KC I remember:
Blue Rooster
Red Barn Chicken
Stephenson's Apple Farm
Zuider Zee
Sam Wilson's Meat Market
Spaghetti Factory
Dinkledorf's Deli
Morgan's Steak House
Mister Steak
Driftwood BBQ
Jerry's Restaurant
Mexico Lindo Restaurant
Buttonwood Tree
Trader Vic's
Colony Steakhouse
Lobster Pot
Cascone's Cafe
Winslow's BBQ
Nichols Lunch
Putsch's Cafe
The Rhinelander
Tippin's

The Hawthorne Cafe was an old greasy spoon diner at US 40 and Noland. It was where you ended up wasted at 4:30am for coffee, B&G and playing Merle Haggard on the jukebox. Spent many a Saturday into Sunday there in the late 1970s... The 40 Highway Drive in Theater was right next door, General's Inn was a few doors to the West. All gone now.

memories for me......................

Lobster Pot Union Station. Early (ish) 80's

Baby Doe's Matchless Mine. I think it closed down because it was starting to slide down the hillside. Great view.

2. Speaking of Red Barn, this bank [which is now ALSO out of business] on Hampton and Pernod in St.L. always made me snicker
