20 Worst Steakhouses From The 1970's That Faded Into History

[@heatherwood2664]

*I lived around the corner from Steak & Ale Nº 1, and was so sad to see it close, be torn down, and replaced with an institution that I never visited!*

[@Xenogears76]

Which institution?

[@johnbrown7014]

The Steak & Ale in Topeka replaced a restaurant known as literally "The Squat & Gobble". When it disappeared it was replaced by a used car lot.

Just because their not in business anymore doesn't mean they were the worst. But you already know that. Your title was just meant to draw people into commenting, positively OR negatively, all for the YT algorithm. Well done. You did it.

[@michaelhancock937]

They do this “clickbait” and misleading titles for the money. It’s only about the money and not the quality. More views, more money.

Growing up in Massachusetts, I went to the Hilltop Steakhouse many times. It’s a shame that it closed 😢

[@EastieRick]

The Hilltop was great growing up Going there on holidays with the family I still miss the lobster pie. I like Valles Lobster pie too

[@richardmerriam7044]

I ate at Hilltop in the early '70s. Great food.

[@josepherhardt164]

Steak & Ale came into Virginia as Jolly Ox, because at the time state law prohibited the use of an alcoholic beverage in a restaurant name. It later did become Steak & Ale for a few years before it vanished.

[@janbrady9756]

Quincy’s Steak House omitted. A much better than average steak house in my opinion. Thanks 👍

[@enviroperfect]

What about Tad’s?

[@jrdube]

Loved "York" and grew up with Hilltop. I was SO sad to see Hilltop die. :(

[@928frogman]

York was fantastic! The food was outstanding. HIlltop was great in the 70's but really went downhill quickly.

[@pulsarstargrave256]

The only one that sounded familiar was YORK's Steakhouse! Today, Texas Roadhouse makes great steak, I get a tear in my eye shortly before eating the last piece!

[@mantia39]

My dad referred to Mr. Steak as "Mr Shoe Leather".... I wish i could have indulged at Beefsteak Charlies! Its no wonder they went under,they had to have been running a 150% food cost! 😂

[@dan797]

Hilltop steakhouse and Valle’s werecsensational. They are sadly missed by many older New Englanders.

72 yr old here. I can remember going to York's and also Bonanza/Ponderosa. Both in N. Dartmouth, Ma. Also e joyed going up to Saugus now and then to Hilltop Steakhouse. Now, Texas Roadhouse in N. Dartmouth Ma is our go-to. Always good and good prices, too.

[@DaveInVirginia]

I remember going to the Ache & Stale back in the 90's. The dim lihjying was so you couldn't see how bad the food looked.

[@mjardeen]

Black Angus still has 32 locations -- it's been a bumpy ride with multiple owners - the food is great.

[@DavidBrothers-j2o]

I remember going to steak and ale once when i was a kid it was on new years eve and we were gonna go to ponderosa but it was packed so we went down the street to steak and ale and it was better than ponderosa

[@jollyjohnthepirate3168]

My family loved Sizzeler.

[@crankychris2]

declining quality was the reason these places failed.

[@Dan-oj4iq]

Bonanza was the best! Hands down!!!

[@buffybrown1619]

The steak houses from the 1970’s still served better steak than most restaurants serve these days. I have to pay exorbitantly for a well grilled steak in 2024. In the ‘70’s you could get a decent piece of beef cooked as ordered for a lower cost. That was then. You can mock these steakhouses, but it was quality well-prepared food.

[@anthonypopola5773]

Steak and Ale was the best chain at the time, the rest were all cheap shit

[@stevenhess5528]

Quit using "worst"

[@danieljones8587]

The last steak I ordered from the Steak and Ale had marks on it from the jockeys whip! 😅

[@raulescobar7433]

Steak ale was great, what you’re talking about

[@DeniseCappelletti]

Black Angus

[@nickgarcia8945]

Who edited this hot mess? Did you watch the final product?

[@princesskristan]

Hold up.. was that THE Whitney Houston singing in the Steak and Ale commercial?! And Sizzler is still around but there's not alot of locations left

[@valerieneal2747]

I was wondering the same !!

[@EbershardtvonSchwellenbach]

Anyone take notice that there is a Muslim family that is eating at a Mr. Steak at 1:30. 🤪🤪🤪... 🤪🤪🤪 ...

[@allan9603]

Whomever owns this channel is obviously here for one reason, Click Bait!

[@michaelmeltzer3397]

Lone Star is still around.
