The cars out front are half the fun in these pics.
I was thinking the exact same thing.
I notice the term “smorgasbord” on some of these 50s and 60s restaurants. This term preceded the use of “buffet” in the all you can eat restaurants option.
When there were no spaces in the parking lots marked ...compact only 😅😏
i love this theme music ....stuck in my head for days
Hats off to all the owners that made a living catering to the public this way. And to all the staff that probably worked for minimum wage.
Reminds me of the road trips my parents took us on... we’d always stop at places like these-that was part of the fun! I love the older style signage and love seeing those cars!😃
Those in the south had one thing in all their menus...WHITES ONLY. ☹️
Some pictures were taken from the early 70s, I could tell by the vehicles in the parking lots.
I dig that GROOOOOOOVY beat man'
Gootta love the 50's and 60's googie and mid century modern architecture here!
I have eaten at two of these restaurants, the Dutch Mill Farm @ 5:23 in Annapolis, Maryland, and the South of the Border restaurant @ 10:23 in Dillon, S.C.
I enjoyed seeing the classic cars as much or more as seeing the old restaurants.
One restaurant chain that I miss is Howard Johnson's, with their classic orange roof.
So many memories. Thank you.
Amazing pictures
Now I’m in the mood to watch a good movie from that time period. Any suggestions?
Btw, the music is lovely!
Sand lot.
A Summer Place
Blue Hawaii
North by Northwest
American Graffiti!
Great video, ha ha was looking to see if "The Clock" and/or "Pancho's" in El Paso Texas would pop up. Fond memories of eating with the family there when my Dad was stationed in Fort Bliss.
At 9:00 minutes the Keg and Platter, I used to work there as a prep cook, that was 1989. They demolished it a few years later to expand the freeway interchange. Great prim rib and a great salad bar.
Najpiękniejsze filmy i najpiękniejsza muzyka EXTRA , EXTRA , EXTRA , Pozdrowienia z Polski
Love the Googie architecture!
So lovely.
Love the background music
Thank you! That was fun!🥰
AH...Back when SIGNS..were..SIGNS!!!!,..not some flashing menu board there's still some around but sadly slowly being replaced by the new ones Progress...( RASPBERRY'S)😥😥😥
It would be cool to see a comparison as to what these places look like today...if they are still standing.
Like everything that was good in America, Gone with the Wind.
So much fun watching this,plus trying to edify the auto
My favory music 🎶 🎵 💯❤
When I was a child we would eat at the Green Turtle restaurant in Valdosta, every time we went to Panama City😊
This brings back memories.
I went to Idaho in the 70s to a KFC -ask for some extra crispy. They said we don’t have it yet!!🙀😏We had it in Ga. for three years!!
Tried to buy some baking potatoes 🥔
About the size of a tennis 🎾They said we ship out the big ones!! 🙄😮Ask for grits-didn’t have a clue!!😊😁Pizza Hut looks about the same!! South of the border does too! Some of the signs say: Eat and get gas!!
What we're seeing here are the more independent highway eateries you could easily find every few miles apart on any highway in America. Where did they all go?
Nothing from Colorado?
Waddles!
I now eat at Duck Tales Kitchen owned and run by the Waddles family. Good food just like Waddles!
Too slow.
When @CNN starts reporting, you know SOMETHING is shady
They must have flipped a coin on some the names of these places. Doubt all served quality food. 👌
You must have a fixation with California and the western states, that's pretty much all you ever show. :(
So far, I haven't seen Washington state and that is really west. How about Florida, it looks south to me. Keep watching.
Those were not exactly attractive restaurants, were they?
I'm certain all of those places were repurposed as other businesses or flat out demolished. 🏚️
