- Abandoned Antone's Kitchen (Former Wendy's) - Boardman, OH. Been closed for at least a year as my friends Terry and Nikki visited this place and filmed it for their respective channels. To be demolished and become a Speedway Gas Station.

You know what would scare the crap outta me, when he was talking to the speaker and someone actually said something back!
LMAO!
Hey Wallie and Kayla! Thanks for mentioning us in this video! We used to eat here sometimes.The food was good but changed over the years and they did move down the road a couple miles.We did not like it when we went to the newer place,the food wasn't that good.This building also had a restaurant called The Italian Oven before it was Antones.
Any time. I had no idea it was yet another business after Wendy's. That's a shame to hear that they went downhill after they moved.
The pad at the drive thru is called a Loop Detector, it’s the same technology they use at red lights to detect vehicles. It detects metal.
Thanks. Couldnt think of the correct term. I knew it was similiar.
WallieB26 We use them in the door industry... Funny story, I was at a maintenance call for a gate, I pull off the metal motor cover and put it on the ground, I go to operate the gate and it wouldn’t close... after a few mins of freaking out cause I thought I broke something, I realized I put the cover right over the safety loop that stops the gate from closing on a car lmao... And of course the whole time the maintenance guy is standing there so I had to play it off lmao
3:47 A is for Antone.
B is for Baconator.
Lol!

LOL
That looks exactly like our Burger King, with the bump out solarium and everything. Our BK is about 30 years old and was originally built as a BK. It's cool someone else used the design. Our Wendys is one of the box stores.
Many Wendy's have been renovated around here but back in the day, this was actually popular. There were quite a few with the solarium. Others that didnt have them still appeared just like this building but with a regular store front.
"I came here for Wendy's cause it's the shape of one." Lol :)
LOL!
Just like I said on Instagram, this *cough* Wendy's is almost like some weird alternate reality haha
and omg "Can I make an order please?" *sips cup from a whole other restaurant*
LMFAO!
That menu sounded pretty good! lol
I am already so over the shoebox design! No character.
It did! I'm hoping to try them out at their other location once the virus is over.
@@WallieB26 It could be well over a year until this ends
You have quickly became one of my favorite channels, Keep up the good work, push that Patreon too
Thank you very much for the kind words. It means a lot to me that you enjoy our channel. I will continue to do my best to make enjoyable videos! Thank you again!
It is so nice that you were able to document this old Wendy's. Take care.
Thanks!
Thank you very much!
My Wendy's in Ephrata, PA has a very old school solarium. I love driving by it everyday
The paint job on the outside of the building looks nice; thanks for filming this place wallie.
I agree! It did!
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Lol Wallie as funny as my PawPaw ur so hilarious 😂
Lol!
Sad that this will be torn down. Wendy's is one of the only fast food chains I still frequent. They remodeled the one in my area, which is the same one I grew up going to. I always loved sitting in the greenhouse/solarium area and I was crushed when they did away with it. There was something special about sitting and eating in that area that was sectioned off from the rest of the place.
My Wendy's became a credit union. Great video Wallie
Another great video Wallie, hope all is well with you and Kayla. We still have an old style Wendy's and Pizza Hut in our town.
7:35 EVOO is Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Thank you!
@@WallieB26 - obviously neither you nor Kayla are Food Network watchers. That shorthand (pronounced EE-VEE-OH-OH) was patented by RACHAEL RAY (her earlier stuff was in local TV in Central NY) and has become part of FOODIE TALK everywhere.
Another phrase Rach (as her fans call her) has used a lot is calling sandwiches SAMMYS... (there were a few years when Food Network used to be part of my "required watching"...)
@@syxepop yeah, neither of us really watch tv that much. Heck we dont even have cable. Too expensive for something we wouldnt fully get our money's worth out of.
@@WallieB26 - actually NOWADAYS NEITHER DO I!
But when my parents lived and paid for BASIC CABLE + (no premium channels or other fancy stuff) I was able to watch those. I'm even getting on the new offer streamer Sling TV (owned by Dish Network) is offering (FREE for most of their programming from 1700-0000 every day) and catching back on stuff like DEADLIEST CATCH.
I love food
You guys crack me up! Or whatever the hell I ran over! Funny stuff! You guys are great keep up the fun content!
Lol! I literally still dont know what it was that I ran over but it made a horrible sound that didnt sound so bad on camera. Was worried I cut a tire. Thankfully I didnt. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Only one of my three wendys still looks old school! And definitely hard to say what new owners would do!
I still love how the relative location is opposite here- former Dunkin takin over by a new restaurant + mcd that used to have the cool old look!
I'm surprised at how many older McDonald's I still see around.
Thanks for the great video! I hope you’re doing well despite the virus being out and about!
Glad you enjoyed it. And thank you. We are doing as best we can! Hope you are doing well too!
Wallie, that short music piece you have at the end of these videos is really cool.
Thanks! I like to use music I personally enjoy when I watch my videos back. The end song is called "Montage" by Waterfront Dining.
Thanks for sharing the title of that. Instrumental songs like that are always nice. Also, U and Kayla, stay awesome!
It is ashame this piece of history cant be saved but like you said man a new speedway is taking the place of it and thats bringing in new jobs awesome video bro 👍
Thank you. I agree. But as it appeared in the video, it needed roof work and who knows how bad it is. Could cost a lot more money than it's worth anyway. Speedway will bring in jobs which are so badly needed right now and probably after the virus situation is over, unfortunately.
3:47 It’s 2023 and Wallie is working for a Sesame Street skit.
Awesome video
Good to know they are going to build something in it's place
Agreed!
Awesome video!
Thank you!
EVOO = extra virgin olive oil
Thank you!
lol Wallie you have to do that action every time a place is close but it’s funny that you do
I plan on it if I remember to or can!
Antones is fantastic. I went to school with the owner and the fried cheese and pasta was great.
looks like the Wendy's in Uniontown pa, if it's still there ..thanks for posting your videos ,they are keeping me at least half sane thru all this virus stuff
Ya have a good one
Thank you! Have a great day!
I love the old style Wendy’s with the glass solarium. I like the Olive Garden we have here in Orland Park Illinois. Foods good and always busy. Thanks for the great video.
I like the older design Wendy's as well. Thanks for watching!
"I came here for Wendy's because it's the shape of one!"
Love it. XD
My town has a speedway, it was Superamerica. The gas pumps have slanted due to settling. The inside isnt the cleanest compared to the competitor and always busy Holiday Station Store.
The newer Speedways here in Pittsburgh are pretty nice. They have opened a bunch in the last few years here. I like them better than Sheetz and GetGo at this point. However, I still dig Country Fair to the north of me and WaWa to the southeast.
Brick building 2 doors down @3:54 looks like a former Pizza Hut based on the angled window openings and roof line...
Yessss. Sounds like I was right.
Lol yes you were right!
We used to call Wendy's "The Gulag" when I worked there in 2003-2004.
Very cool video. I liked seeing old restaurants repurposed. I don’t know anything about that place however I know of an old Wendy’s with the solarium still a restaurant in Munster, Indiana. Called Casa Del Mar on Ridge Road in Munster Indiana. BTW: Gas here is around 1.50. Just don’t buy it close to the Illinois border, more expensive. Good video! Also if you like Donuts- they have Munster Donuts that is delicious!
I loved this antones!!
Sounds like they're pretty good. I'm looking forward to trying them at their new location later!
I have been told that business no longer have a say how they want the store to look. Even Whataburger has to shoebox to open new stores in my city.
Dunkin Donuts used to be good when i was a kid, but no so much now. Ma and Pop Donut shops are the best. Krispy Kream, Yumm.
Agreed! I like Duck Donuts on the OBX for that reason. Support a family owned business.
Wallie where I am from in Pikeville KY. we had a Wendy’s that looked exactly like that but bought an abandoned Mexican restaurant property about a quarter mile up the street and built a new box type Wendy’s their old location sit empty for about a year and was not torn down just remolded and became a restaurant called Slim Chicken and looks nothing like an old Wendy’s ironically a Speedway sit in between both restaurants now.
Weird that they didnt just renovate the building they had or demolish it and start from scratch like McDonald's and BK have done.
and it looks like i can't get a Grilled Chicken Sandwich because this Antone's Kitchen is Permanently Closed.
Taxsylvania 😂😂 Too true....
Lol!
Great this video abandoned location
Thank you!
@@WallieB26 be safe out there
@@michaelhardy8589 We are. Thanks!
TY for the upload be safe and keep up the great work TY! evo is extra virgin olive oil
Thank you for watching! We will do our best! And thanks for letting me know.
Man, they just don't make 'em like they used to! Also, coincidentally enough as that ambulance went by at the end there, there were some fire trucks and stuff that so happened to be going by me too at that same time.
Agreed. They sure dont. And that's so bizarre. Lol
Love the Taxsilvania! Lol.. I actually saw $1.80 in Wexford today! Ohio will probably be $0.80 by the weekend!
Lowest I've seen in Ohio so far was $1.09. Cost me $11 to fill up my car from 1/4 tank!
There is an old school Wendy’s in Copley/Montrose Ohio
the loop for the drive though is a tuned loop that when a car or truck drives over it the frequency changes and activates the alert for the drive though worker
Yeah that's what I thought. Just couldnt think of the right thing to say on camera!
Wendy's building with solarium, reused as an Italian restaurant, now to be demolished to make way for a Speedway. Wow.
Always loved those solarium style restaurants. Used to have a KFC and a Burger King in different places with them. The KFC has since been either demolished or remodeled into a Dunkin (can't remember which, honestly), while the Burger King is now a Japanese restaurant, still has the solarium.
Gas is about the same around me. A lot of us along the Hudson River in NY state are in the $2 to $2.30 range. I've seen ONE station at $1.99, and that's it. A Citgo station.
Gotta say, I do love a good Speedway. Been racking up the Speedy Rewards points since all the Hess stations were converted. They usually have among the cheapest gas, too. 10 points per gallon, usually in the 8-9 gallon per fill up range.
Another great video. Loved the little skit at the beginning, that made me laugh a good bit.
Many of the older fast food joints around Pittsburgh had solariums including my local Burger King in Shaler Township. Many have now either been renovated or completely demolished, rebuilt, or just erased.
I figured gas was still roughly the same in NY. Your prices and ours tend to mirror each other. Only perk when I go to Buffalo is passing through the Indian Reservation where they dont get taxed for fuel.
Glad you enjoyed the video and my silly little skit at the beginning!
@@TiltedTripodMedia do you mean the area outside of Erie PA? I-90 is the NYS Thruway, so due to NYS regulations, you don't see massive truck stops along I-90/Thruway like you do outside of Erie, PA or in Ohio.
There was a Speedway adjacent to that Wendy's at the corner of West Blvd and Rt. 224/Boardman-Canfield Road until the late 1990s. It ironic rather than clean up the old Speedway site on the opposite corner Boardman township is letting them build a replacement on the opposite side of the road.
In rhinelander wi there is a restaurant called the Friendship House and everybody can tell that it used to be a wendy's and the enter and exit signs are still there!
We still have an old school Wendy’s in Ocean Springs Mississippi and Moss Point Mississippi near me better than modern Wendy’s
Nice!
@@WallieB26 if you come to Illinois south suburban Chicago i can take you a town with two abondance target in it wendy a bestbuy value city department store cub foods toyrus
@@bartman1238 you mean matteson Illinois
I LIVE 15 MINUTES FROM HERE MY BUDDYS DAD ACTUALLY OWNS ALL THE ANTONES LOL
Love the intro! I once did almost the same thing, but with Taco Time instead of Wendy’s. Lol.
Nice! It's fun being silly like that!
WallieB26 oh it’s fun! Helps keeps things entertaining in my opinion. I really wanted a burrito that day.
@@ChristheShrinerdawg best thing to do especially during the situation we're all under is try to be entertained or to entertain others if possible. Helps make each day a little bit better!
No Biggie Fry or Biggie Drink? Well darn it. They need to bring back the yellow cups, fry holders. I thought this place looked familiar. It has been awhile since I been over into the Broadman area. I only get coffee from Dunkin, well I did till I didn't have to drive into work anymore.
You'd be surprised how often I'm in Boardman or that area even if it's just for a little ride or to stop somewhere to eat like Hot Head Burritos or Inner Circle Pizza... both being places we dont have here.
@@WallieB26 I think there is a few Hot Heads Burrito over in this area. The Inner Circle Pizza sounds good right now.
@@news89 yeah, Hot Heads is all over northeast Ohio and a couple of locations in Western PA including one in New Castle and the other in Hermitage. In my opinion, they are SIGNIFICANTLY better than Chipotle.
I can't wait till Mary's Pizza over in Lisbon, OH opens back up. It is omg worth the 40 min wait.
Waliei I love All Of your CZcams videos.
Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!
Any Time wallie b26 As well buy a aboned place for your own retail business.
I just found this place on Google Maps. It was Antone's Kitchen and even a pub as far back as 2007. not sure if it was a Wendy's unless it was in the '90s or '00s.
An-Tones. How it's pronounced. Had 1 in Austintown & it closed.
"Monkey salad" (tuna) was so good.
EVOO is an acronym for extra virgin olive oil.
Thank you!
I'd like cheese ravioli, fried calamari and eggplant👨🍳
Also also you should totally try an open Antone's sometimes, they are delicious
Also cool Behemoth tee 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Next door was a former pizza hut closed in 2009.
So it’s going to be a petrol station and a convenient shop!
Yes it is! Speedway is moving in!
Their. Horseradish sauce makes arbys look limp
Me and my sister Used to eat there all the time good food 🥖🥗🍝🍷🍰🥤🥧🥤🧁
Also was an Italian oven after Wendys. The company didn't last long. I'll message you about that 😀.
Thanks! I had no idea it was another business before Antone's. I figured you'd know about this place. Caught me off guard as Kayla and I took a little ride through Boardman and saw this.
Wallie where I’m from I have never seen a Wendy’s that looked like that. From where I’m from that looks more like a Burger King or an Arby’s
Most of the older Wendy's around here looked like this. There are still several that havent been renovated and still have this old architecture.
Tilted Tripod Media like I said I’ve never seen a Wendy’s that looked like that. I’m sure y’all are right but again I live down south, I don’t know about how they look up North. I’ve only been up North twice and that was in 07 and 08. 07 to visit Washington DC and 08 to visit NYC.
Wallie's Place would be a nice restaurant.
Yes buy a closed fast food restaurant and turn it into The WallieB26 Museum. Stay safe.
So I could have this confused with a different Italian restaurant in the area, BUT, if this is the place I think it is was owned by two brothers. At some point recently they had a menu dispute that led to them splitting up and one kept the restaurant and moved it and the other opened a new restaurant in the area. Has been abandoned maybe 1-3 years.
I don't have any memory of it beinga Wendy's. Like I said on John's video, I'm pretty sure this was where Italian Oven was. That would have been between being a Wendy's and being Antone's. Italian Oven was a fantastic local chain of Italian restaurants. They had an Austintown location, I wanna say on Kirk where Charley's is now (don't quote me on that, I'm not sure) and they had a Hermitage location in the plaza next door to Kraynak's, in fact you could very distinctly smell their kitchen when you went to see a movie at Carmike, I remember sitting in that theatre Christmas 1994 seeing The Santa Claus and smelling pasta being cooked.
Also, this was Antone's second Boardman location. When Antone's was closer to Poland in their first location, where Izumi's is now, they strangely had a drive-thru there as well. I have no memory of what that buidling had been originally but before it was Antone's it was a REALLY good Italian restaurant called Fazoli's, and they had some of the best pizza I've ever had.
The brown building at 11:13 was Pizza Hut
Allot of Dago's in Youngstown also my Aunt and Uncle live in Boardman
Hey Wallie Ill be coming to Vist Pittsburgh in September I would like to show you some cool abandoned places in Elk County.
Sounds great!
@chrislemaster2695, I love Elk County, such a cool place. I loved seeing Elk out there, so beautiful. I remember going inside an empty house with my family as a child in the 90's. My grandparents ( RIP), and aunt and uncle used to live near Elk County and we camped there and once I threw up in the middle of the night in my family's camper as a child in the 90's 😢. I also remember seeing a sign for a McDonalds near a traffic light, I didn't know there were traffic lights there last time I went to see the elk with my parents in late 2000's/early 2010's or I didn't see that light or McDonalds either just the sign for them. But, Elk County is so pretty, I didn't go through all of it though.
Hey you should check out Oram's Donut Shop sometime located in on 7th. Avenue in Beaver Falls, open from 5:00 AM to 12:00 PM Monday thru Saturday, closed on Sundays
Wow 1.20 gas still 1.79 in Sanford ,Fl
Between the roof and the parking lot It was probably cheaper to change location
Still also-ing (I've been watching alot of CinemaSins lately LOL) I'd wager that refrigerator was probably from the still-open Plaza Donuts next door (another local place to try sometime)
I love the old Pizza Hut in the back ground at 4:00 awesome job Wally B I enjoy the hard work you put in.
I like the old buildings better then the new ugly look / born in November 1984
Me too. New designs are bland and boring.
The hay with Wendy's, I went to hardees in millvale today. 2 for 5 fish or roast beef. Drive thru only
Ugh. My first job was at a Hardees. Straight up nasty.
Despite Hardee's being right up the street from me, I havent had their food in a month. I get their breakfast more often than their lunch/dinner options. I dig the 2/$4 sausage and egg biscuits.
@@misterhat5823 one job I will never have is a fast food job. I've heard stories from every place but I just cant justify working your butt off for little pay.
Dunkin doughnuts is my favorite doughnut place.
Close to home for me
The beauty of a gas station coming in is that at the very least, they will in all of those potholes. But PA is still over $2 a gallon? Yeesh, I paid a $1.35 this morning and filled my truck up for just over $15 bucks for a half a tank.
With everything going on here, it's no wonder the population is declining in Pennsylvania. We're tired of being taxed to death and paying so much for for things like rent, fuel, paying taxes for roadways which are in typically BAD shape, having the highest priced turnpike in the country. My goal is to live in coastal NC but in the mean time, I may have to move to Ohio. I like it very much there anyway.
@@WallieB26 I can see why you would want to live on the shores; it is very nice out there. If you did get out to Ohio, you would get to see Nate more often
@@unclejj2350 another reason I would move to Ohio at least for the immediate future. I have several more friends in Ohio than I do in PA at this point. Sure I have several here but in terms of seeing them, it's not as often as I do my Ohio friends.
@@WallieB26 if I get a chance to go to Ohio, I would love to go to Canton just to see the Pro Football Hall of Fame. This year's game will be between your Steelers and my Cowboys...that is if they get to play
Literally right down the road from me.
Nice!
When you were there you should have looked at the original Arby's.
Store 1 is right up the street.
The original building is across the street. Arby's doesn't own it anymore, but they want to
Can you revisit the kmart in Morgantown wv
I could however the store was repurposed into a Rural King. Could still do an update video from it though!
Yes please
Funny video, dude your like 10 min from my house
Thank you! Small world!
That menu was virtually unreadable in a drive-through context
I agree
another Wendy's looks like i can't Get a 4 for 4 deal today with A junior bacon Cheeseburger, 4 chicken Nuggets, fries and a Sprite today because this Wendy's is Permanently Closed.
Lol
@@WallieB26 i know lol
They probably couldn’t afford to fix the parking lot it’s very expensive
Back in 2000 we dined at that Pizza Hut, and there was another red roof Pizza Hut on the, SE, corner of US 224 and South Avenue that has been ripped down some years ago. It is a shame to see these iconic buildings designs gave way to the non stylish shoe boxes. I agree with Kayla, DD does not have the best donuts, Krispy Kreme has the best.
Looked like that Dunkin' Donuts is closed. Are your restaurants closed there? Ours are as long as there is a drive thru or curbside service here in Lubbock. I was curious. Dunkin' Dinuts aren't as good as they used to be, I've tried them few years ago when we got them & I didn't like them as well. I like the mom & pop's type donuts (non-chain) a lot better.
I believe that Dunkin Donuts was open when I was filming. Around Ohio and PA most restaurants are still open via take out and drive thru only. Dining in isnt an option yet.
@@WallieB26 sane with us, no dining in. I'm so ready for all this to be over as I know you are too. Thank you for sharing video btw.
EVOO is extra virgin olive oil
Abandoned Pizza is it's neighbor.
Pretty sure theres nobody in there LOL
evoo stands for extra virgin olive oil
