All-American Burger:
The Southern California All-American Burger chain was never more than a regional fast-food joint. However, it became famous when it was featured in the hit 80s teen film Fast Time at Ridgemont High. The final west coast location closed in 2010.
If you’re on the east coast however, a Massapequa, Long Island establishment using the same name and logos has been open since 1961 and is still serving up delicious burgers to this day.
Steak n Ale was my jam back in Florence, SC
Mr. Steak was a chain of steakhouses that was popular in the 70s. These steaks unfortunately weren’t juicy enough to withstand increasing competition from upstart steakhouse chains like Sizzler and Stuart Anderson’s Black Angus and therefore folded after bankruptcy in 1987. At its peak, the chain operated nearly 300 locations across the U.S.
You know you were a bad business when Sizzler kills you off

Howard Johnson hotels aren't dead. You can still be left for dead in one in College Station.

Steak and Ale, Kenny Rogers Roasters I remember well. There are Howard Johnson's all over but I wouldn't stay in one. There is one across the street from the Hampton Inn I stay at when in Savannah, GA for work.

I had a Mr. Cook by my house and probably ate their about 3x/week from the time I was 5-15. At some point, their fries changed to having the 'skins' on them and they were awesome.
When I moved to Houston about 20 years ago, my boss loved Steak & Ale and would take our department there every chance he got (for a 'special' lunch). He was in his 60s back then and there were always a lot of old people eating there.

I remember an Kenny Rogers on the North Shore that was pretty good.
