The classic A&W. They went away in my part of Oregon for quite a few years and when they returned is was the name only, different style all together. I remember hardee when I lived in Montana back in the 80s and 90s out here in Oregon they are called Carls Jr.

I didn't realize Red Barn was a franchise. I used to go to one in upstate NY and it was the only one I ever saw.

Red Barn, my family used to go there all time for its awesome fried chicken, this was way back in the 60s though, lol.

Has anybody mentioned Little Black Sambo's that turned into Little Sambo's and then just Sambo's? We used to go there when I was a little boy. Their logo was a little black boy with a tiger. Pancake house style place.

Long John silvers has that awesome batter! So unhealthy but delicious. I remember having a birthday party at Showbiz Pizza. I thought it was awesome. The robotic animals struck me as slightly creepy though.

Minute Man hamburgers is a place I remember from my childhood as well as Red Barn, whose location In my hometown is now a bait shop.

I remember when Shoney's Big Boy had a drive in. My brother always liked ordering a Big Girl with nothing on it and then driving off. I don't know of a Shoney's still open in my region.

Dairy Queen's are difficult to find, too.

A&W is going strong in Canada these days (owned by a different company than the US chain). I love their Chubby Chicken burgers.
