Hello🤗🥰@Jorge Pokemon

[@sammylane21]

Casa Bonita also has the distinct honor of appearing in a SOUTH PARK episode. It's when Cartman gets uninvited to one of his friend's birthday party.

[@AlSmith278]

Howard Johnson's was also a motel.

[@ghostface3655]

I associated "Burger Queen" with "Burger King." I didn't even think it was a "Dairy Queen" rip-off...thanks for the video, always fun!

[@maenad1231]

IIRC not every Dairy Queen in the USA has a full menu so not everyone thinks of it is a burger joint so it makes sense we immediately thought of Burger King

[@noemistephanie93]

Same

[@maxxdahl6062]

@@maenad1231 Glad mine always had the full menu while it was here.

[@twistedviewlabs]

I associate Burger Queen with the band Placebo as it's the last (listed) track on Without You I'm Nothing. the song has nothing to do with fast food

[@MoneyHoneyBunny]

Same here, Idk where they were coming from here, clearly it was a Burger King ripoff

[@RealBigBadJohn]

Howard Johnson's wasn't a fast food chain. They were full-service, family restaurants with tables, booths, and counters with stools. The iconic menu was cooked to order. HoJo's ice cream, with 28 flavors, was world-class and rivaled any of today's high-end brands. On the other hand, D'Lites was definitely fast food and an excellent concept that didn't work out. The food was excellent.✅👍

[@bridgetanne8242]

Yes!! I thought it was fine dining when I was a tot.

[@davidpar2]

Howard Johnson’s had the best clam chowder, fried clams, shoestring french fries, and ice cream with sugar cookie fans. Would love to have those again

[@RealBigBadJohn]

@@davidpar2 -- Yes, I forgot. I ordered the all-you-can-eat clams every week. Don't forget their frankfurter grilled in butter.

[@kirkfeatherstone6944]

They had the best coffee ice cream

[@RealBigBadJohn]

@@kirkfeatherstone6944 -- They sure did. I was also a fan of their coffee fudge ice cream.

[@chrisjarvis2287]

Chi Chi's was amazing, and Burger Chef was our big chain in Cincinnati in the 70's and then they traded territories with Hardee's in the late 80's

[@mikewrasman5103]

I remember seeing the Burger Chef and Jeff commercials. Burger Chef became Hardee's.

[@lethalwolf7455]

And now Hardee’s is rare, non existent where I live, closest one is over 3 hours away.

[@TheSpritz0]

I LOVED Howard Johnson's the food was very good, and comfortable and convenient!!

[@stanleyteriaca2184]

Anyone remember Ninja Burger? Ok, it wasn't an actual restaurant. It was a collection of Japanese pop culture stores tied together to a web site tieing the stores together under a false "secret restaurant of tofu burgers made and delivered by ninjas".

[@noemistephanie93]

Wow I didn’t even know alot of these restaurants existed. But then again I was born in the 90s. Interesting that there was a restaurant called Burger Queen, considering Burger King exists

[@anarchyangelo]

Howard Johnson's and Chi-Chi's are the only ones I remember

[@lucretiabellamy9532]

A Yogi Bear's Honey Fried Chicken restaurant still exists in Hartsville, SC. It stays busy.

[@lluvsyouu]

@@lucretiabellamy9532 my grandpa owns that one!

[@keithkishishita5783]

The Brown Derby is neither fast food or completely gone. There is a Brown Derby on Huntington Blvd. in Arcadia, CA, but nobody goes there because it's too crowded.

[@cuseyeti_one8three]

Nobody goes there because it is too crowded? Isn't that an old Yogi Berra line?

[@themoviedealers]

I believe not part of the original chain.

[@michaelhillberry672]

There are 3 Brown Derby locations in Ohio as well.

[@lauradaly8020]

I liked Howard Johnson's, because of their reliable menu. Their motels were also wonderful places to spend the night in, due to the fact that the rooms were clean, and the TV sets worked.

[@Goldenmelinated]

The comment I was looking for, I remember Howard Johnson motels

[@motleybyron4997]

And Casa Bonita lives on...in one episode of South Park...look it up!

[@blind_t2]

and the same creators of sed show brought the place out, and working on it! it’s coming back.

[@richardbidinger2577]

There used to be a Burger Chef and a Brown Derby in the town where I grew up in and currently live in Ohio.

[@mharris5047]

I used to eat at a Burger Chef in North Muskegon, MI from time to time. It closed in the early 1980's, I wonder if it was the last one to close telling from the entire chain folding in 1981.

[@leonnahofer9138]

Good news Casa Bonita fans! Trey Parker and Matt Stone from the South Park fame bought the Casa Bonita in Colorado and are trying to remodel and reopen it. They have basically gutted out the entire place because it was so run down, and they were supposed to open next month, but with all the work that still needs done, it will probably be next year some time before it's open again. They even had to redo the famous fountain out front. Don't worry they are redoing the menu with newer things, but said they are keeping the vibe of the old one. They just had a big thing on our news station here about it. While they were filming their news part outside, there were still tourists who saw the building from afar and wanted to go see what it was. They were from Germany. 😁

[@blind_t2]

I was just about to say that! those 2 are about to put the midas touch on that place! I know it! everything they do turns to gold! who knows, they may expand, and with them at the wheel? oh heck yeah!

[@lordr0808]

I grew up on Casa Bonita in Tulsa. I loved that place! Two of my favorite memories were that was where I learned to love hot salsa & the day my parents FINALLY let me start ordering the All-You-Can-Eat dinner regularly. And man, Dad & I took advantage of that!!! ❤❤❤ I am going to have to visit my friend in Colorado more often now. 😂😂

[@leonnahofer9138]

@@lordr0808 unfortunately they don’t have the all you can eat menu which is so sad. You have to be on their mailing list and get an invite to get in until they do the actual grand opening.

[@Esshersimpbdlcrew]

Fun fact. The creators of south park bought casa bonita and is trying to restore it. And in a arizona event they showed what kind of nasty things was there like wood rotting, broken air conditioning, and so much more

[@BabbleTop]

Wow😲 I hope they will successfully restore it.🤗@Hannah Spears

There was a Chi-Chi's in Frederick Maryland. My mother and I went to it a couple times. They put us in the back, the last time we did go. Took an hour, to take our order, then at least another, to give us our food.

[@missjennifer8216]

I’m originally from Ohio 🥺 I miss chichis that was my bday place until I was 11 then I moved to Texas- I also remember the Ponderosa, brown derby, old country buffet, Bob Evans none of which I can find here. In Texas they closed down Beefers. Was my favorite burger joint when I moved here to small town Mansfield. Really let me get a tatse of old country slithers hospitality :) all the elder patrons go for breakfast & the cooks would joke with them- everyone knew everyone was so nice to see- plus I could get a burger for breakfast (I hate breakfast foods) my family enjoyed down home cooked breakfast from there.

McDonald’s ripped off Burger Chef and basically stole the idea of a Happy Meal with a toy from them. If that hadn’t of happened, Burger Chef would probably still be around today.

[@maenad1231]

To be fair, any fast food restaurant at that time served toys with kids meals probably stole the idea from Children’s Breakfast Cereal industry. They both could of stole the idea from the same place 🤷‍♀️
