Rained out fishing, a friend was just here drinking coffee. I asked about a local restaurant that has been going local for many years, but has changed hands. He said, I was there a while back, and told them, I've been here twice now, the first time, and the last time."

sambos was once a hit.
burger chef when growing up. see all the muscle cars there on the wknds.
don't know if Shoney's is still around or not. lot's of time there in the past.
too many local bbq joints have come & gone to even count.
thankfully they were always replaced by somebody.

First time - last time: that would be the Husky Truck Stop in Dryden.

Me too on Husky John.$$$$. My friend was talking about Kuppers in Dryden. We were there a few years back, and enjoyed the place.

Frisch's "Big Boy" restaurants are alive & well along the I75 corridor, especially in the Lexington-Cincinnati area. Had one of their burgers when my age was single digits & still crave one every couple months. Watch it when you get further south, the Cinci big boy has tarter sauce, in Georgia they use thousand island. (trying to copy a frikken Big Mac I guess)
But if you tire of those, they make a pretty good chicken fried steak & gravy.

We had a Sambo’s and a Burger Chef here when I was a kid.

Two gone and very badly missed ones are Stubb's Ranch Kitchen in Spencer and Ken-A-Bob in Storm Lake. To have not experienced them is to have a large hole in one's existence.

When I was a kid in Houston, we went to the Chuck Wagon drive in. Menu included Hub Burgers, Wheel Burgers and Spoke Dogs. Root Beer in paper tubs, printed to look like barrels.

Burger Queen turned up in towns not big enough for a Burger King, I kinda liked them. They had to regroup & changed to Druthers. Still fast food crap as far as food goes but their fish sandwiches & especially their onion rings were very good for the type of place.
Gone 25 years & I still miss the rings.
But.... living my life in a rural setting, the places I miss most are the mom & pops. They just can't seem to make it anymore or the younger gen doesn't care. Thirty years ago, going to a bar & grill on a Sat & getting a hand pattied burger with hand cut fries all cooked the way you wanted it, a treat for sure, Americana gone.

We have a bunch of “mom and pop” burger joints out here, most run by immigrant Asian folks, and some of them are the best burger joints around.
Chain restaurants? Waffle House might be the only one I truly miss?

The original Sambo's on the beach in Santa Barbara is still going strong, we drive up there for breakfast a couple of times a year.
