Which of these iconic 1960s restaurants do you wish were still open today, and why?

[@mysticloverfairy1]

Marie Callendars is still around though

[@garywait3231]

NONE ! Good riddance to them all. In my mid-eighties, I am proud to say that, while I never had a lavish income, I never ate in any of these culinary travesties. As a child, my mother cooked wholesome and delicious meals; and I have been doing the same throughout my adult years !!

[@alonzocalvillo6702]

Chicken Delite. Their chicken was better than KFC IMO.

[@autobug2]

My sister's first job was at a Red Barn in 1972!

[@debhanzlik540]

Wow that was Eve Plum on the Burger Chef commercials. My first job was at Red Barn in Colorado, burgers, chicken and that salad bar!

[@marylamb7707]

I LOVED the big barnie, I think that was the name. They had the best onion rings.

[@gogoyubari366]

Eve Plumb is so pretty!

[@drbluzer]

I had my first hourly paying job at BUGER CHEF RESTAURANT back in the early 1970's in Louisville , Kentucky .

[@nonoyobeezewax9527]

Anyone remember Howard Johnson's?

[@Roger-vz7ol]

I wish there was a fried chicken chain that focused on fried chicken rather than places like Chick-fil-A Filet or Popeyes. KFC was once the best chicken around but will go bust. It's chicken is greasy as hell and over-priced. Every KFC I know of rarely has any business any longer. Corporate greed is what has destroyed a lot of chains like KFC.

[@hereticpariah6_66]

I went to a KFC about a week ago. 😳 *$15⁰⁰ for a 5 nugget meal!!* 🤯 At THOSE prices, they Will go out of business unless they open a _finance counter!_ 🤣🤣

[@theoldronin]

Let me introduce you to Bojangles.

[@Roger-vz7ol]

@@theoldronin I've never heard of them. They must be a regional chain.

[@judiththompson2423]

I miss the Red Barn.

[@vegasmandie6398]

What about pioneer chicken ? The closest thing to their fried chicken is churches

[@danrhone9756]

Red Barn was one of my favorite places to eat during the 1970’s era

[@stevewatt4819]

when the hungries hit, when the hungries hit, hit the red barn!

[@user-jj1ql2bb4x]

Thats Jan from The Brady Bunch!

[@gogoyubari366]

Eve Plumb is so pretty!

[@alonzocalvillo6702]

There used to be a Red Barn close to my house back in '7.The building is still there but it is a Chinese eatery now. Also there used to be a chicken fast food restaurant called Chick Delite.Their slogan was " Don't cook tonite call Chicken Delite!.We used to like this better than KFC.There were several here in the Bay Area in the '60s and early 70s

[@debrabrownawell617]

I worked st Ginos in the mid to late 70s in Harrisburg pa. When they had burgers and KFC chicken and it was great , and if you got a bucket or a barrel the lid wouldnt even fit on the container . KFC sucks now , i remember when we first got a salad bar .

[@sandyseibelhager7131]

Wow never heard of any of these except for Chi Chis. Maybe we just don’t get these chains in the Midwest

[@kayceeklump317]

There is stilla Gino's its right up the street from me. In Glen Burnie MD

[@ninabooker2904]

In the 1970’s as a kid growing up in Evansville, Indiana payday Friday was a special family night out. First with cash in hand to do the weekly grocery shopping at Great Scot a local chain and then to Sandy’s for a Big Sandy (a better version of the Big Mac burger), fries and a Coke. Sadly both of these Scottish themed chains are gone now. But I still have my fond memories.

[@DavidSkeen-lf6kt]

My first experience with was with Burger Chef in Myrtle Beach, Sc.

[@rivkaenola8620]

Nothing about Harvey's. It may have only been a regional restaurant in upstate New York. It was my favorite place for my parents to take me.

[@michaelbaucom4019]

The rise of Burger King had as much to do with Burger Chef's demise as McDonald's

[@roseprevost8081]

Gino's isn't completely gone. There's one near me in Maryland. It's not the same, though. :(

[@teresascofield1005]

Do you remember sea galley and arthur treachers fish and chips and bonanza shakey's pizza

[@stevewatt4819]

you don't know what you've got, until it's gone.

[@PyschoKitteh]

Still a Sandy's in MT

[@eekamouse-js8lr]

Those commercials were so ghastly

[@willowwisp6401]

Red Barn? ….was that the place where they would Throw you your Dinner Rolls ?. NOPE not according to this commercial.

[@cmtippens9209]

Not one pizza joint?!

[@valjohnson1927]

I noticed then starting out talking about slow food then leaping into fast food restaurants. ..

[@gogoyubari366]

Some pretty girls in this video!

[@rongendron8705]

With the exception of a Chi Chi's, Kenny Roger's & a Wetsons, which all went out of business, over 15 yrs. ago, I don't believe Long Island, NY, (where I live) has ever had any of these other chain restaurants! Even with 3 three million people on L.I., fast food chains won't come here, due to N.Y's outrageous income, sales taxes, utility bills & building restrictions! Now, we have to add "runaway inflation", making their meal costs "skyrocket" in price!

[@Widnu]

4291 Merrick Rd Massapequa, New York

[@johnwinnard5589]

2008-Obama. 2023-Biden.

[@Dyke67ny]

Why is Chi Chi's listed in 60's restaurants? 😷
