70’s and 80’s Wichita

[shoxlax]

Just south of Pawnee, on Meridian.

There was one across from Linwood Park too.

I think there is still one at 47th and Broadway. There is a sign anyway. South of the intersection, east side in the shopping center. Haven't been in there though.

Yeah, still there. Open 'til 10 pm.

I had no idea!

And that's just a few blocks away from where I collect money from my ho's.

I think there is still one in Wellington?

Correct kinda. There is a Big Cheese in Wellington, though I'm told it is not an original. Still very good pizza though, I think. If you want to try it, have cash. They don't take debit/credit cards. Since they don't get much out of town traffic and because those who frequent there know that they take cash only, the owner has said that it's not worth paying the credit card processing fees to offer that payment method.

I remember that weird fried coating of something on the ice cream.

That sounds vaguely familiar. I was so young when it went away, or when we stopped going as often. I only have vague, but good, recollections of the place.

I'm sure I've asked this before, but does anyone recall the Chinese carry-out in an old Griff's building near Hillside and Harry (between Hillside and S. Clifton)? I'd guess the late 70's or early 80's. Still some of the best Chinese food I've had.

Also, how does the current Angelo's compare with the original? Their lasagna was pretty solid back in the day.

Henrys Yum Yum I think amazing fried rice .

[Rocky Mountain Shock]

Still Godfathers in and around Mobile Al.

There’s also a few in the Denver area, but I’m not sure if they’re related to the ones elsewhere or if instead some kind of local chain.

[MadDog]

Takehomeaburger
La Palma

[WuTheOne]

Albert's and Mars Garden.

Good friend of mine is family of the founders and owners of both. Chinese made fresh when you order it beats buffets, but buffets have eliminated the made-to-order Chinese restaurants.

Colonial Ice cream Stores
Henrys Floating Hamburger on West street
Mugs Up Root Beer on South Seneca by the Orphanage
The Wild Hare
Y-Not
The Grinder Man on Fairmount

[ShockingButTrue]

The Coyote club anyone? The Master Of the Telecaster (there's only one) had the floor shakin' many years ago.

Sizzlin' Dog (1 block E. of Central & Oliver).

My wife and I were married students (20 & 21 year olds working part-time) paying our own way, tuition, books, rent, food, car insurance, health insurance... Our only eating out was Taco Tico 4 tacos tor $1, not even a drink. That was all we could afford. Great times

I get my “Taco Tico” fix at the North Newton and Augusta restaurants… still pretty good grub and reasonable prices.
