We have a Brown Derby in my town, but it's not related to the chain. They have excellent Mexican food and good local live music. Their wings are the best around.
I remember Lums in New London, CT as a kid. I loved that place. Free refills on sodas, and they came in odd looking red plastic "glasses".  |

Became Druther's, then nothing. We used to eat at the Bangor Ground Round all the time when we would go to the 'big city' for school or Christmas shopping. Loved it as a kid. |

Lord Burger, Mister S, Burger Chef, chicken galore, chicken delight and a few more the names elude me, one specializing in prime rib ( I still have a book of matches from there )
We still have Dog N Suds in Lorain, no relation as they just kept the name, and there a 2 Brown Derby eateries locally but don't have sterling reviews. The last time I ate at HJ's I ordered a French dip and there was only one thin slice of meat. I showed the waitress the picture on the menu and she said the rest of the meat is still frozen. |

For those of us in Texas, how about that Chicken Shack in Waco? My grandparents always stopped there with us on the way from Austin to Fort Worth to visit family during the 1960s.
 And, then, when my dad was stationed at both Lincoln AFB and then much later at Offutt, we made regular trips to Valentino's. The line was always LONG. Home of the sesame cookie. My youngest sister still hates them as she used to eat so many she would get sick.  Valentinos must have franchised at one point because we saw them show up in Austin a few decades ago. They were gone soon after. Of course, they weren't the same. [Edit: I just now looked them up and they are still in business. Doesn't look the same, though. We ate there when my brother was born in Lincoln in 1964 . . . and then later during the mid-1970s] |

Loved Sambo's pancakes and was hooked on Buffalo wings from The Ground Round.
Many great posts of places we no longer have here in my AO. As a young kid, I'd get a cheeseburger and fries at Pappan's Family Restaurant in PA, and in VA we'd get chicken from Holly Farms.    |

The first good steak I ever had in a restaurant was at a Brown Derby. It was a big deal because they were serving alcohol all over the place. By my standards today, the steak would have been terrible since I ordered it well done. My thinking was "of course I want it done well, if a thing is worth doing it's worth doing well." I got better and wiser as I became the driver for my Great Uncle's adventures at Scioto Downs. Prime rib, gambling, driving the Cadillac, good times for a 16 year old hillbilly kid.
The best steak I ever had was out of an aged beef my Great Uncle had hanging for a local farmer by the name of Bob Evans. They were pretty good friends. It seemed that Evans' didn't want the thing hanging in their plant under the watchful eye of an over zealous USDA man. It was incredible. You can get a pretty good steak in my area, but nothing tops that one yet. If it would have had a grade it would have been easily in the Prime category. He raised his own steers and finished it carefully. The closest I found was in Florence, Italy. |
