This place had mostly mediocre food, but they served really good mini corndogs in a cup, fuck they were good.

Good taste, anon.

Rax isn't totally dead, they've still got 5 restaurants operating. I've never been to one, but if the Joliet location is still open the next time I fly into O'Hare to see my folks I plan on going.

My dad recalls this place as having been his first choice for hamburgers when he was a kid, but they're completely defunct now. They were a small regional chain that basically cribbed off of the ideas of other early fast food restaurants and did them better, but when those actual restaurants (McDonald's, White Castle) finally started encroaching on their market with more spending power and lower costs, they went under.

>>15043824
it was a michigan thing

>>15043870
Hi fellow /relatives in Joliet/ anon

http://www.grandys.com/ - not totally dead but almost
Roy Rogers which has maybe 3 locations left
and Swensens (not Swenson's in Ohio) which apparently is not dead at all and has locations around the world but only a few in the US

I used to work at one of these. It was fun in highschool

>>15043958

Dogg there are still almost 50 Roy Rogers restaurants, it's not at all dead.

https://www.royrogersrestaurants.com/locations

>>15043824
There are still Raxes. They have 8 locations
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rax_Roast_Beef

>>15044096

It never even occurred to me that those closed. But now I sit here and I can't think of seeing one in like 15 years. Whoa.

>>15043824
>go to Rax wearing sweatpants with a pocket full of dollar bills
>its a roast beef restaurant

>>15044332
Yeah they went broke with Bennigans. The parent company was full of crooks I guess

>>15043958
We lost all our grandys a while back, their rolls were like crack

>>15043824
There's a Rax in my town. I don't know how it stays open, there's never anyone there. I love their BBC's, but they're really overpriced.

>>15043851
sun rooms!

The Rax in Lancaster OH is always worth the 20 minute drive down there for the nostalgia alone. The "BBC" sandwich (yeah I know) is damn tasty and so is the bbq beef

>>15043824
When I was a kid our Arby's got replaced by a Rax briefly. I liked the football-shaped bottles the kids meal drinks came with. I thought it was just a name change since they had the same stuff.

>>15043837
I'm not hungry anymore... please...

No.

Gimme my trigger fries

>>15044156
I remember getting Roy Roger's a few times on New England road trips. As a kid it was fun picking a pre-made burger from a slot.
Now, though, it'd probably feel gross.

Anyone from Indiana or Ohio?

Man I miss some Spanish dogs and the BK root beer

Maybe a pizza burger if I'm really hungry

>>15043824
The only one I remember in my area shutdown in the late 80's or early 90's. Now it's a Rally's that's completely run down and gross and they only employ undesirables.

>>15043824
Closed for obvious reasons

>>15044659
>Anyone from Ohio?

Why does it seem half this board is from Ohio? Defiance is obviously the best place in Ohio.

>>15043919
Had one of these a block from me in WI. I remember they had burgers for like 50 cents. Shit was cash

>>15044659
My dad used to take me to BK and we'd get huge mugs of rootbeer and then eat tons of spanish dogs right in the car

There's a copycat recipe for spanish dogs I've made a few times, it's really close but not quite the same.

>>15043824
I remember Mr Delicious

>>15043919
Had them in NC Anon.

There’s only like 3 locations near me in SoCal and the closest one is 40 minutes away.

>>15043824
fuck man why are you making me feel these feelings...

>>15043824
I remember it, haven't seen one in person since like 1991 or so when we moved from the Detroit suburbs to the Chicago suburbs. Never really went there since there were Arby's and Hardee's closer by for roast beef sandwiches (yes, Hardee's used to have them along with hamburgers up until the early to mid 90's I think). My most significant memory from that Rax in Michigan was the time a pimp and one of his whores came in, wearing the exact stereotypical outfit you'd expect. First time I ever saw one in person.

>>15045756
I ate at one earlier this year, then not 30 minutes later I took a huge greased shit

They're clinging on in a few locations, but most Wimpy burger bars in the UK became Burger Kings back in the 90's.

Great place, but fuck that clown. Scared the shit out of me every time.

>>15045756
There are a couple near me, but they all turned in to KFC/LJC places.

I remember A&W being in Georgia but I think they all closed.

I'm old enough to remember when hardees still sold curls

>>15046167
>(yes, Hardee's used to have them along with hamburgers up until the early to mid 90's I think).

I live in middle Tennessee and my local Hardee's still has the roast beef sandwhich. Maybe it was only dropped regionally.

>>15043824

There's a RAX about 7 minutes from my house. Never been. What should I order?

>>15043958
There is a Roy Rogers about 20 minutes from me, I went there and I am pretty sure there is literally one person working there at the time. It's sad because it's not bad fast food, the chicken sandwich were comparable to those Popeyes ones.

despite dominating the seattle area from the 60's into the late 90's, they are both lost to the ages and there's just not a lot of pictures out there of either of them

>>15044606
I remember being a kid in Maryland and eating here a few times. Couldn't tell you what it tasted like thought.

>>15044802
There was one left in Santa Barbara but they decided to change the name during the BLM protests. It's still open as far as I know.

>>15044348
Bennigans sucked dude
>>15044578
>Arby’s
Amazed that their ownership group just acquired Dunkin Donuts to join Arby’s, Buffalo Wild Wings, and Sonic. All four will be lucky to be alive in 10-15 years. Fuck Arby’s for getting rid of their onion rings, fuck BWW for sucking ass, and fuck Sonic for sucking too
>>15045756
Long John Silvers is greasy but they’re acceptable if you find a clean location. All but done within a decade either way just like Arthur Treacher’s
>>15046392
Weird because I ate at an A&W/LJS off a major highway in S. Georgia only a few years back

>>15050502

>>15046993
I love to watch old TV commercials on Youtube as background noise. Have seen Burger Chef ads from the 70s and 80s a good amount.

>Amazed that their ownership group just acquired Dunkin Donuts to join Arby’s, Buffalo Wild Wings, and Sonic. All four will be lucky to be alive in 10-15 years.
My stock in Dunkin' is doing amazingly well since the acquisition. Up to $106 earlier today.
However, I'll agree with you that it will be a shell of its former self here in the next five years max as I fully expect a lot of changes to be implemented for cost-saving measures.

I've driven past the Rax in Harlan, KY literally hundreds of times and never once thought about stopping there to eat. So its basically generic Arbys?

How did a chain of once like 880 restaurants get so totally forgotten?

They've lost Iowa. I live in Dubuque Iowa which is having a population boom and a lot of chains are opening here, including a Sonic. Despite this Long John Silvers has closed it's doors permanently

>>15046392
Dubuque, Iowa has one. Granted it's part of a gas station

>>15044096
There's still one in my hometown, we call it Ponde-gross-a hahaha.

Still a few Stewarts around, but catering to the nostalgia crowd.

>>15044810
ohioans have a tendency rattle on about where they're from more than most states. I noticed it a long time ago and I'm still not sure why so it gives confirmation bias

>>15053592
There’s a Lum’s in tamarac Florida to this very day. I drove past it not very long ago

>>15052665
I've heard they were fantastic. They're margarita deals were apparently untouchable.

>>15043824
Rax was okay. Better than Burger King and McDonalds.

>>15044169
Hey, that's the one in my hometown! They're alright.

>>15045756
there are 4 or 5 in houston. they're all in gas stations in "dark" parts of town.

What hellhole is this?

>>15052265
In Vienna we still have a few of those

>>15043824
Not really a chain but there was a place called Volcano Burger near me. They had onion rings that violated the laws of physics. They were insanely crunchy without being greasy and the flavor was phenomenal. You could put them in the fridge and the next day they would be just as crunchy and almost as delicious even cold. They also had a California burger and pastrami burger that would knock your socks off. They also had breakfast burritos that were bar none. Then one day inexplicitly the management changed and they turned it into a fucking teriyaki bowl place under the same name. I have never been butthurt over a food place until then. Covid finally mercifully killed the place.

Howard Johnson's used to be one of the largest restaurant chains. I remember them slowly fading away.

>>15046530
My local hardees still sells curly fries.

>>15056682
There’s a Volcano Burger in Los Alamitos not too far from where I’m at. Is that the one you’re talking about?

>>15056701
There was one in La Habra that I went to but it looks like the Los Alamitos one is what mine used to be. I didn't even know it existed so thank you! I will have make the drive to have it again.

>>15056708
I didn’t even know there was one in La Habra. How long ago did that one close down? I’m pretty familiar with that area too

>>15056725
I'm thinking that they changed management around 2014/2015 at the latest and it seems like it fully shut down with covid. It was located on Harbor a few blocks north of Lambert.

Rio Bravo. The ones near where I live were all converted into Chevys Fresh Mex in the early 2000s. Then those all closed down years later too.

>>15056734
Oh I think I know which location you’re talking about. It’s by the train tracks just south of La Habra Blvd not too far from a Juan Pollo. Had no idea that was once a Volcano Burger after all these years

They have a place called G Burger about a mile west from there on La Habra Blvd that’s super good. Never lets me down

There’s an operating Rax in my hometown

>>15056751
That's a great place too but these days it's Rick's in Whittier for me. I grew up around there eating it as a kid and rediscovered it as an adult and i'm hooked.

>>15056760
Uptown Whittier has always been a strange place. It reminds me of something out of The Wonder Years minus the demographics lol

I’ve always passed by Rickis down Greenleaf but always seemed too generic. Might have to make a stop one of these days.

Not many of these left

>>15043870
>>15043920
Graduated from Joliet west, never knew there were other Joliet anons here

>>15056779
Yeah it's really generic but I guess that's why I love it. I had a burger after 20 years and it was exactly the same as when I was a kid. The onion rings are great too but the ranch they give you is sub par. If you go make sure to ask for the fries and anything else to be done crispy otherwise it's not as good.

Whittier is a strange place for sure, uptown is all old stuff and old quaker houses and a few blocks away it's essentially the ghetto. The crazy thing is everyone seems to be racist as fuck in Whittier, even minority vs minority.

>>15056805
Nothing wrong with being a bit, as I prefer to call it, “demographically biased.” It may save your life one day.

Despite being filled with Mexicans (no offense if you’re Mexican), it’s still reasonably safe. Never had a problem with anyone there.

>>15056839
Yeah it's best to not relax as a general rule and you're right. There are a lot of old school guys who have turned to being very serious about neighborhood watch and keeping the younger ones from tearing the place up. The myths around it seem to keep a lot of people out and I suppose that's good.

>>15056854
I was just in the area earlier today just cruising by since it was my day off listening to The Daily Shoah in my car. Sometimes nothing is comfier than listening to Mike Enoch going on rants about the “Juice” especially when you don’t look the part and in an area where you’d least expect

>>15056791

I remember they gave balloons to the kids, with a coupon for a free scoop of ice cream. I miss those days.

>>15057498
If you think the name on a sign is all that makes a restaurant what it is, then I don't think you have a place in this thread. Some gook in new jersey bought the name about ten years ago and is the fifth or sixth owner of the name. The current locations are in no way comparable to what the chain used to be.
Herfy's used to have ~100 locations at its peak but went bankrupt and shut down some time in the late 90's. It was the local chain that kept mcdonalds out of the pnw for a long time. Cheap burgers, open late, greasy food, and most importantly half the menu wasn't chinese food.

F
pretty sure it was shit but i loved it as a kid

>>15043824
We still have a Rax here.

>>15058273

I remember being taken there with a kid and enjoying my meal a lot. It was the first time I had "real" tex-mex as opposed to the usual soccer mom pan of ground beef with a seasoning packet in it spooned into a storebought shell. In retrospect, I realize the real reason we were there was to get drunk, so I guess the margarita situation was as you describe.

Only one left

Same. I can't remember the last time I clapped eyes on either Ponderosa or Bennigans. It makes sense, but I'm rather sad by this. Ponderosa had a decent salad bar, I think. Steak and salad bars were it's main pull, right?

>>15058273
Oh shit, dude. Casa fucking Bonita was a king in it's prime. I feel so lucky to have experienced it.

Used to eat here a lot as a kid.

>>15059064
For some reason people latched onto the idea that it was named after a racist kid's book from ages ago, even though the restaurants name was actually a portmanteau of the names of the two original founders.

used to love going here as a kid, during birthday parties you'd get a free sombrero and this wonderful ice cream with churros. not authentic but it didn't need to be. chipotle is just not the same.

They had the best honey mustard dipping sauce of all time. They also used to show golden age of Hollywood movies from time to time as well.

I'm really worried Oporto is going the same way, the Bondi and prego sauces are so good. There'll always be a Chooka's shaped hole in my heart

>>15053592
That was a chain? I vaguely remember one in my hometown when I was a kid in the 70's. After it closed I'd swear the building it was in was cursed. It seemed like every restaurant that tried opening there turned to shit and closed after a few months. There must have been a dozen or more of them. They eventually tore the building down and replaced it with two stores. There's some burger place in one and an ice cream place in the other. Both seem to have lasted a while so I guess the curse was broken.

Actually just found out how it became so forgotten in the US:
There were ever only three actual Wienerwald locations in the US (all in Manhattan), the vast majority of those 880 Restaurants were IHOPs and Lum's owned by Wienerwald.

>Sauce bun.

Yes, there is one a couple miles away from me. still doing the weekend breakfast buffet. from what I hear, an attendant gives you what you ask for

>>15043919

>>15045756
They're still around, they've just all fused with KFC's.

>>15043919

Stow it, weasel.

In the Northeast we have a dinner chain called "Friendly's" that's not quite dead, but on the way out. The food is objectively awful, I've left sick more times than I can count and even got food poisoning once. Their saving grace is amazing homestyle ice cream which you might've seen in stores, shit's mad gas.

Fuck DnD for getting rid of the lemon donut. They had it for one summer four years ago yet my gf who works at one says people still come in asking about it. Meanwhile they'll market shit like the ghost pepper donut which no one buys and winds up in the trash.

>>15056785
There's one by me that shares a kitchen with a Nathan's and a Pudgie's

There's an obscure Youtube channel called Restaurant Rewind that talks about defunct chains. Here's their Lum's review:

>19 locations.
>all in Bay Area.

Found your problem. Nothing kills good food like nerds with too much money.

>>15052620
Fuck dude I loves this place! Yes you're right you couldn't close the box you had to eat a bit before you take it home. My favorite thing about that place they had the best lemon chicken. But they had so much variety of the chicken; orange, lemon, lime? And I can't remember. But that shit was good.

>>15066237
Huh... I wonder what made you think to order the prime rib?

>>15063947

Do you happen to have a place called Cheddar's in your state? The only place I've seen serve a Monte Cristo with jam ever

This used to be a staple in malls in where I am from. How they disappeared

Shoneys is still around. I went to one for lunch in WV a couple of years back and ordered a rare steak plus a salad and side when I was hung over. Felt like a million bucks afterwards and it cost like $8 total. Now I stop whenever I see them. I love Shoneys

Anybody who hates on WV never actually goes there

Speaking of dead restaurants, I really liked this place and so did my late mother.
She rarely ordered beef, but once we went to a destination wedding at some kind of campground and they only had vegetarian food all weekend. She was so pissed off about how awful everything was I don't even think we stopped at home first, she drove us right here and ordered prime rib for herself and said it was the best she'd ever had.
Especially hilarious because I honestly don't remember the wedding food being that bad.
