Food and Drink Restaurants of yesteryear - Page 64

What Restaurants did you grow up around? I'm not talking super fancy and yes fast-food counts. What distinctive memories do you associate with them?

Mine?

Taco Via-(the lit up menu of the various taco plates displayed on the wall), WhiteCastle-On a paper plate with fries and Pepsi, Arthur Treachers(off Noland), Tippins(off Noland), Perkins(the free toy well), Country Deli(awesome local deli to Blue Springs heated sandwiches on Sourdough buns), Zarda BBQ and Dairy, FunHouse Pizza(of Course)(Dark. Video- Games,Electonic Riding Bull and 25-cent Taco night) Annes Sante Fe.

Keep in mind I never see these anymore living in Georgia.

I have ordered from the Shawnee location forever and a few from the 24 highway location (GEHS center) east of 291 when I refurb'ed a few houses in the area. It has since closed.
A funny story about them is that one of the franchise owners used to have it delivered to a bar (54th St)in Liberty. He would basically bring in 10 pizzas and shut their bar food sales down. Bartender (Meg) told me the booze sales made up for it.
It wasn't nearly as good as I remembered from the days where the original owner (Dick) ran the stores

I remember the Oak Park Mall had one for a year or two before they closed shop there.

Maid-rites are still around in places. www.maid-rite.com/

This goes here now.

Another great one bites the dust. I used to eat at the Lenexa "old town" location, new place not as much. Still was great.

Panzon's closed the doors at 7 PM Sat nigh, asked customers to leave, and locked the doors.

Rumor mill says it could be ICE related.

Rax’s Roast Beef from back in the day on Nolan Road. Loved that place.

Also, enjoyed Burger Boy back in the day. Flat burgers, great tater tots and milk shakes.

Since this thread was resurrected, and this question is a better place for it, does anyone know the history of the building that house's Paul's Drive-In on Blue Ridge?

It looks a lot like a Dogs'n'Suds, which has distinctive architecture. But it's been a Paul's since I was a kid [one of my earliest memories is my sister leaving her doll in a booth there when she was a toddler, and we had to go back and look for it], which is not too far past when Dogs'n'Suds first got started.

Poppa Z's Pizza at 23rd & 291 in Independence.

I have wonderful memories of birthday parties and actually beating the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade game.
