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. [Reply]

That's a sad deal. Original owners were forced out of that location because of an eminent domain claim (state was going to expand the intersection of 50/Broadway and HWY 65.
Owners sold it to a long-time employee, who moved it south on 65.
State never changed the intersection (there's a Verizon store there now, I think). New location never got on the map for lake travelers. Restaurant closed.
It's rough driving through old Sedalia now. Makes me really feel old.

Ivy's in Gladstone. First time I had fois gras with steak
The Waji in Roeland park. Great burgers
Peoples in Lenexa. Had the chairs with different shoes and feet on them. Good food.
There was a mine themed restaurant in the early 80's off cambridge circle and I35. The mine, the shaft, something like that. It was a steak house type place that was cool for a kid. I think it started collapsing or something. [Reply]

People who've travelled I-70 know what I'm talking about. Practically by itself, big peaked roof with a parking lot crumbling around it. I wanna say around Danville EDIT: High Hill.
Yep....but i don't remember where the nearest Stuckey's was. [Reply]

Wow. When did that close? It doesn't seem that long ago that we'd stop for shakes on the way back from Columbia. [Reply]

Makes me think of Casa Bonita in Tulsa. Not quite the same, but it had theming. [Reply]
