Kips. Are There any Left

[The King]

I think it was Hardees down south (there used to be one on pipeline road) and up here in Oregon as well as Las Vegas, it's Carl's Jr.

There was a Hardee's on 287 in Childress a long time ago, before Chick-fil-A and Krispy Kreme came to Texas. I never saw another one in the state though.

Its hard to beat mcdonalds as far as what they pay for their product. Once you head up north past kansas into nebraska, south dakota, and iowa they are all about hardee's or as its called down south carls jr.

There was one on 303 on the north side of the Forum Mall. I think it closed in either '85 or '86 and became a Denny's. I remember eating there once, maybe twice.

Bob's are all over SoCal.

exactly why i said the closest to Dallas would be San Diego or Indiana depending on which direction you went.

No Checkers' no care.

I had Checkers in Orlando. mmmm salty goodness!

I only went once to the Big Boy in Richardson, soon after I arrived here in the late 60's.

Does anyone (have to be an old fart) remember the Pig Stand Drive Inns in and around Dallas? I don't remember much about their sandwiches, but they had the best thick malts around. The one I remember was down near White Rock Lake at Garland Road and Gaston.

The last Pig Stand I saw was in San Antonio in the 1980's.

.....and then there was Clown Hamburgers in (Haltom City?)

Another similar to Kips was Sambo's. Hmm, I wonder why they aren't still around.

I ate at a Kips in Detroit a couple of years ago near Belle Isle.

[SS Junk]

I think all of the kips are gone, the closest bobs big boy is in Indiana, or San Diego.

I remember Kips and Shoneys Big Boy restaurants growing up as well as Wyatts cafeteria

Like a Japanese cowboy or a brother on skates
Like a blizzard in Georgia or a train runnin' late
I call out your name girl in the heat of the night
And nobody answers 'cause somethin' ain't right

Breakfast at Shoney's at $2.99
Saved me some money and eased up my mind
I'm walkin' in circles and feelin' the pain
I'm tossin' and turnin' and cryin' in vain

Like a Japanese cowboy or a brother on skates
Like a blizzard in Georgia or a train runnin' late
I call out your name girl in the heat of the night
And nobody answers 'cause somethin' ain't right

I'm ridin' at midnight and crossin' the line
From the rain in my windshield and the tears in my eyes
Now the bedroom is empty and I spent my last dime
And the lovers are leavin', I got nothin' but time,
I got you on my mind

Like a Japanese cowboy or a brother on skates
Like a blizzard in Georgia or a train runnin' late
I call out your name girl in the heat of the night
And nobody answers 'cause somethin' ain't right

What was that restaurant in Lewisville that served their food in cardboard Cadillacs?

[helosailor]

We used to go to the one by where north hills mall used to be. It was on the north side of 820 by Red lobster, IIRC.

Yep, on Bedford Euless Rd, right where it split off from Grapevine Hwy. I remember that one well.

The last "Big Boy" restaurant I ate ate was in Barstow, CA. That was about 5 years ago. Still delicious.

What about Bonanza?

I gotcha on that one! I did a chick in the bathroom of the Bonanza at Josey and Valley View. Next to Alberstons....same store that used to be Skaggs. God Damn I had totally forgotten about that!!....damn I'm old now....but thanks still Brian for unlodging that memory!!
