There is one Gingerbread Man left and it's in Carlisle. I used to love their Super Nachos with sour cream and guacamole.

You revered the Beaver Stadium urinal troughs? I guess it’s a type of buffet, not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Wow, the DP must have been almost new when my buddy's POS Datsun broke down on I80 on our way back to school. We managed to get it into the Dutch Pantry parking lot and, when we couldn't get it started, we hitched the rest of the way. As far as I know, he just left it there.I have some good news for you, my friend.

Ah, Red Barn. I worked at the one on South Atherton. We were permitted to take home any unsold product when we closed. It's amazing how much fried chicken was prepared in anticpation of that last half hour rush that never materialized.
Those glasses ruled but the burgers were among the worst ever.
The Club Burger
They used to sell drinks in Loony Tunes glasses too
Is Arthur Treacher's still around anywhere? I used to love their fish and chips.
A local Pittsburgh chain that lasted for a hot minute was Winky's. Supposedly there was one in Wilmerding.
I was known to enjoy the Chi Chi's lunch buffet, especially the churros with strawberry sauce.
I saw a Pizza Hut lunch buffet last week in Cranberry, PA. Unfortunately, it was at 5:30.
I concur that Roy Rogers made a good roast beef sandwich.
Hometown buffet was also good for stretching my federal per diem budget.
Most Pittsburghers of a certain age miss Isaly's, especially their skyscraper cones. Toasted almond fudge was my favorite. (My mother would buy it by the tub.) They still live on via Klondikes and chipped chopped ham bbq sauce.

The Beef n Cheddar smothered in horsey and arby's sauce is way up there as far as fast food experiences imo.
Steak and Ale, Lone Star Steakhouse
I liked Chi' CHi's I liked their fried Ice Cream.
There still are some Roy's on the PA and NJ turnpike.
I don’t miss this one but remember when this was around? Gee, wonder why they failed? (Sarcasm font used!)
Before I even clicked on this I said "Burger Chef"Some that come to mind...

Howard Johnson's
Tony Roma's
Captain Geech and the Shrimp Shack Shooters were regular performers there.
I remember it as a kid. We went there for breakfast often on weekends.
Tony Roma's was Miami based and spawned a lot of good rib joints in SoFla.
DeCesare's in North Palm was the best mid 80's. I sat at the circular bar one night while Mickey, Whitey, and Billy told stories for drinks.
I miss those style ribs. They weren't smoked. They were greasy and fatty. And delicious.

Not sure how many there were but the Tasty Freeze was always a go to, especially in the summer.
We eat there 3 or 4 times a year. Usually someone over the age of 90 is making the choice of where to go. It is still pretty good comfort food.I have some good news for you, my friend.

I used to go to Tony Romas frequently back in the mid-80's when I lived in WPB, iirc, off Palm Beach Lakes Blvd at the time. The baby backs were my/wife's favorites. Their website shows two locations in SFL, one in WPB, I thought the chain had shut down.
There was one in Stuart on US 1 until a couple of years ago. I never made it up there before they shuttered.
Sambo's name was a combination of the two original owner's names. They (or different owners) did take some questionable marketing maneuvers though.
Carrol’s in Shillington for the win. Damn. Thank you, thank you, thanks you. The Old Man used to swing through and grab burgers, shakes and fries. As a kid, that was ******* awesome.

I need to go research the history of “Big Boy” as it seems the Shoney’s departed from the franchise and thus most the rotund burger bearers ((which are worth a lot of $$ if you can find one)
I’m more familiar with Bob’s Big Boy, but that might be more of a Midwestern thing.

I'm sure it is awful - especially if the state is involved. Pretty much everything is now. There was a time though that it was good. Really good on College Ave. at 2am.
