Food and Drink Restaurants of yesteryear - Page 80

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.

-King's on Noland (hamburger joint with juke box at every table)
-Jim Gs in Raytown (late 80s- best burgers in the city, not debatable)

-Stephenson's ('nuff said)
-Medlins Colonial Steakhouse (damn good restaurant)
a little farther out:
-la Mediteranee' on the Plaza- best salad in the world
-EBT's - a little snooty, but great food
-The Golden Ox

But in keeping with the tenor of the discussion, Iron Barley is moving out of the city into rural JeffCo. I'm sure it will still be awesome, but now it's a bit of a slog to go.

Since this thread has been bumped, the proprietor of Iron Barley passed on earlier in the year.

From something you ate, or was it because of your other "preferences"?

I think it was called China Palace. Early/mid-1980s

Still exists in Texas and has a better burger than Five Guys and the like. Will cook it medium and medium-rare.

It's on the NE corner. This place was on the SE corner. And it wasn't strip mall.
