There's 1 location left but there was one in my hometown so long ago I barely remember it. I always get bummed out that places like this tried to expand but were killed, but at least 1 survived.

Hello fellow bong. I remember Little Chef, I used to always get the Cajun chicken which you can’t go far wrong with.

Wimpy Burger on the other hand was absolutely dreadful. Apparently still exists but haven’t seen it in years.

>>	Anonymous Sun Jun 2 20:55:57 2019 No.12424414 >>12424380 Nope. Got absorbed by the same group that runs Bennigan's. They feature some items as 'Steak and Ale' classics. There was talk 2 or 3 years ago that the stand alone locations would be brought back but still nothing.

Tom Thumb now sells the brown bread they were famous for (under the Cheesecake Factory name, but the exact recipe purchased when S&A had to sell off everything.) Try that bread once, and you’ll weep. Also, they had fucking ice cold plates for the salad bar, which kicks ass...rip Wendy’s salad bar

It was awesome, had all kinds of tacky 90s jungle shit inside incl indoor waterfalls with plastic jungle plants. Was a pretty good smorgasboard too. So many fond childhood memories that I'll never get to relive
