The late 70's, 80's, and 90s were a far better time for food/shopping experience and quality imo, despite not having the "tech" we do today. What a great time to have experienced in America.
For shopping, I think you can make that argument, particularly at the meat counter. You knew your butcher in the 70s. For food, in particular restaurant food? No. We're much better today than the 1970s. It's not even close.
I loved going to Burger Chef... as a kid in the 80's
I went to Ground Round as a little girl. Crushed it with the menu!
One Rockford Burger chef restaurant was refurbished into Buddhist worship center.
When I was very young in the 70's our family would take family trips in the car every summer and we would always stop by a Howard Johnsons and it was AMAZING , great food and service 🤠
There is a.ponderosa Steakhouse in Coldwater Michigan!
I remember going to Ponderosa’s as a young kid in the early 90s. One of my best memories, was my family and I traveling to universal studios in Orlando, Florida back in the summer of ‘95, these were calm and happy times as a kid stuffing my face! 😂
There is one in the Wisconsin Dells
I was probably around 12 years old and I just won my first BMX race @redbud so my grandparents took me to the HoJo in Benton Harbor,MI for dinner and a huge sundae that came in a, what i thought at the time, was the biggest fancy dish ever. So good.
It was a special Friday when we went to Howard Johnson's for fied clams and chowder! Sure do miss them.
Miss the HoJo🥲🥲
I miss Ponderosa
Honestly, I don't miss the restaurants I miss the memories I have with my family members that are no longer here. My late grandmother loved Ponderosa just as much as Cracker Barrel, so I had a lot of meals and memories of here there.
There is a Ponderosa, in Coldwater, Michigan! And, it's still open.
@@memorysurgeme too🥲🥲
Ponderosa is still around. I eat there a couple times a year/ It is about 4 miles from my home. Babanza also is around.
Brown Derby still here in Middleburgh Hts. Ohio
Pancakes are not even close to the same a crepes
I was born and raised in Houston Texas and the majority of the Bonanza locations in the city once Bonanza vacated the building's most of them in this area became adult-oriented entertainment venues
Loved going to “Steak and Ale”. We used to go there to celebrate as a family. My daughter and her future husband had their rehearsal dinner there. I noticed that the quality going down. But we still miss you Steak and Ale.
Steak and Ale!
I wanted to eat them so badly. Unfortunately, it was too expensive for our family.
Howard Johnson’s was a huge loss.
Fried clams!
YES! All you can eat!!!!
Roy Rodgers, hamburgers, flame broiled. Nobody got close.
Ah, the Magic Pan! I still miss it!
Yessss‼️‼️ forgot about these joints 😳😳
you forgot SIZZLER another Bonanza like restaurant
what I remember of Burger Chef was NO sit down, it was all takeout
many of these I have never heard of...
During the White Tower segment, why did you only show WHITE CASTLE ads?
We still have Howard Johnson, ponderosa restaurant and bonanza. At some states. Chambersburg pa have them still
Islets was a big hit in Youngstown Ohio
Gervis brown derby was good too
Today there are still 13 Ponderosa locations and 3 Bonanza locations
As of April 2024, only 13 Ponderosa locations currently remain open in the US.
That Ponderosa doesn't exist anymore...
We had a Ponderosa, their steak quality turned into that of Golden Corral and was unedible chewy grizzly fat.
I have eaten at Victoria Station in Los Angeles several times and it was always a great experience.
The ground round was the biggest loss! They had everything, I could eat there 3 or 4 times a week and not be broke.
I'd kill for an all malibu chicken from Sizzler.
there's a ponderosa stake house in vincennes Indiana the home town of America's clown Red skeleton we go there all the time to eat its really good so number ones not that accurate
WE HAD KITCHENS WITH THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF APPLIANCES AT HOME,
AND WE WIND UP HERE ! ! ! HOW DID WE GET TO BE, ""SO STUPID"",,,????
We still have a Ponderosa. But will be gone soon. I remember back, We used to go in, order an $7 buffet, add a steak and baked potato for $3 more. Then I would proceed to eat 25 chicken wings, mashed potatoes, etc. Saving the steak and potato to take home and eat later. For $20, my wife and I had 4 meals. Now the buffet is $20 and to add a steak and potato, another $16. And you can no longer take the steak home with you. At $36 for a steak and potato dinner with buffet, too expensive.
Steak dinner at Steak & Ale for $2.95😀
Tony Roma's should have been on this video
Part two is definitely coming then!
Excellent video! How do i contact you.
"Restaurants that no longer exist"
First one went from 700 to 400 locations.... But, you know, it doesn't exist. 🙄
Mr. Steak? Rax Roast Beef?
its red lobsters trun next they just closed a butt load of there store this passed week
Now the only icon in LA streets are the homeless people who are living in their tents. ⛺️
Ponderosa AND Bonanza are owned by the same people and there is a huge error in the video about these. As of april 2023 there are 22 left in combination....not a few hundred as stated. Go to the Pon-Bon and see for yourself. The Brown Derby section shows an unrelated chain of Brown Derbys in the Ohio area where five locations are still open to this day. As for Howard Johnsons...again...error....there are NONE left open as of 2022. Trader Vic's is still a global brand with locations all over the world. Geno's Burgers is not gone either....2 locations still exist. Ground Round up next....yep errors here too Ground Round is not gone...still 15 locations. Shrimp Boat....yep...bet you can guess....they still exist too....7 locations. White tower....why does it constantly show White Castle images? Yep though...no more White Towers :(. If you want subs....get the facts right
Stuckey’s?…
We got stuck at Stuckey's once. Became a family road trip joke.
Actually, there is not enough space to tell you about all the restaurants and not to forget about their specialties, so there will be a second chapter about these restaurants. So hit the subscribe button!
And Shoney’s
Hardee’s ruined burger chef I still to this day want a super chef burger
Diverse culinary styles? Ummm...no. All of these chains were serving similar middle-American cuisine. The only slightly unique items were the crepes.
Ponda"GROSS"a, what me and my cousins called it🤣 still miss it though. Sunday nights with our grandparents. They would stay and play pinochle after🥲🥲 good ole days.
Do you have any very vivid memories to share from these places? Don't forget to subscribe!
