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.
Bet they don’t still have paintings of a Tiger chasing little black Sambo around on the wall or menus like the ones here had when I was a little kid in the 1960’s.

😂😂 ed, next time I make meatloaf I'll do a extra and overnight it to ya!!! Grin
Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.
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.
You need to check out Fava's in G-town,...been going since 1910. They make those big home style burgers that are so big you have to dislocate your law to take a bite of 'em. They also make a good hot brown.

Henry's Hamburgers - you got some number of hamburgers (4or5?) and something like #25 pounds of fries in a brown paper bag. After it was empty, you could wad up the bag, stick a wick into it, and use it for a lamp for a number of hours.
Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.
Happily Trapped In the Past (Thanks, Joe)
Not only a less than minimally educated person, but stupid and out of touch as well.
There’s still some in the Dallas area & Houston. Guess the Negros eat there.

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.
Around here 'back in the day' DQ was where the high school "Elite" and wannabes hung out and BC was where kids from blue collar families hung out on evenings and especially weekends. Evey one in a while some kids from one or the other would get liquored up a bit too much and circle the other's 'turf' stirring up crap and then the fight would be on.
I'm pretty certain there's some Shoney's buffets still operating here in western KY. Wife and ate at one last fall. Extra good fried chicken, the rest was okay but nothing special. Pretty puny dessert choices, too.

Do they still have tiger butter?
I had forgotten about that. And they had silver dollar pancakes for the kids.
