Wed, 01 Feb 2012 17:54:07 GMT

Another attempt to update a signature menu item. I had one today and found little difference from the old ones. Don't waste your money (if you saw the publicity that went out over the Associated Press wire today) by buying this burger just to try it

Sheetz Tuna Salad sandwich! (chewingthefat)

Stopped at a Sheetz to fill up, while waiting went inside, had a Jones for a Tuna sandwich. Ordered one with double Tuna, onions and pickels. Cost $5.00. So So Bun, fantastic Tuna Salad, I'm not kidding, If you love tuna salad like I do and you got a She

Bill Knapp's (doulasc)

Tue, 24 Jan 2012 08:57:35 GMT

Why do you think Bill Knapp's had more of a senior citizen clientele than diversity being a family restaurant. In the 1970s and 1980s they had good food but in the end the quality was not so good because they stopped doing a lot of things at their commis

There were a bunch of Smacks around KC in the 60's -70's. 95th & Mission in Prairie Village, the place started off as something else, ?? House? I don't remember what, and Smacks moved in. I think they had one on Metcalf too, I remember a R

Carry-Out versus Dine-In (jman)

Fri, 20 Jan 2012 21:18:00 GMT

There is always a lot of discussion here about the quality, or more accurately, the lack of quality of the offerings of the various FF chains. I don't go to a FF restaurant with the anticipation of getting a very good meal. I go there fo

Had one open up close to my wife's office, she called me, as I have an affinity for a good sub. I told her to get me a double meat Italian, oil and vinegar, onions. She came in the house and the first thing she said is, your not going to like this sub, I

Smashburger trumps Five Guys!!! (MetroplexJim)

Fri, 06 Jan 2012 17:27:08 GMT

IMHO, of course. Back in the 1980's my fellow Arlingtonian Jerry Murrell developed a "better mousetrap": the Five Guys Burger. It beat the pants off "McWendyKing". And that's all he aspired to do: fill the gap be

Mid-Atlantic Baby Boomers will remember Gino's. A fast food restaurant offering burgers plus Colonel Sander's "Secret Recipe" fried chicken around Baltimore and Philly during the 60s, 70s and early 80s. The chain was named for Baltimore Colts

Wendy's - No longer offers hamburgers on their menu (mjambro)

Wed, 28 Dec 2011 14:50:36 GMT

Haven't been at a Wendy's in quite some time (6-8 months?), so I stopped by today on a whim. Oddly, I found they no longer offer hamburgers on their menu. I was forced to buy / pay for a cheeseburger and request that they hold the cheese-like

Carrolls restaurants (cooper)

Mon, 26 Dec 2011 17:59:15 GMT

Does anyone remember the Carrolls restaurant chain in Central New York in the early 1960's. Great burgers and fries. I seem to remember that almost everything was 15 cents. Oh, for only the good old days.
