I don't know about the one in Colorado, but there was one in Oceanside, CA back in the day. Plain white building with black lettered signs, just like generic food products, it then became the .25 cent hamburger stand, then it just kept going up every couple of years until it closed.
Loved their burgers, cheeseburgers, and chili-dogs. |

How could they sell Burgers for .19 cents? Were they using ground up roadkill for patties?

I think that my local café has a pretty good deal. 10 "Old Fashion Greasy Burgers" for $11.99
They aren't greasy at all. About the diameter of a McDonalds burger but about 3 times thicker. I brought home two 10 baggers tonight and fed three adults, one child and two toddlers and still have 9 burgers left. |

0.19 in 1980 Has the same buying power as: $0.55 in 2016 Of course, the fed decided to drop things like food and gas from the CPI index in the late 80's - early 90's so the current number is obviously low. |

If you just wanted a plain old hamburger with nothing on it, $.19. Cheese? $.99. Fries? $.99. Drink? . $.99. Basically if you wanted a meal, it ended up costing the same as other places. I think I ate there once as a kid in the 90's (although the one I remember was in Colorado Springs) and was not impressed. |

Yep, back then they were basically just turd makers probably made from "Grade D- but edible" ground whatever. But like I said, they left more money for beer and made a tolerable post bar crawl snack. This was 84-86 timeframe.

I remember 29 cent or maybe it was 39 cent.. it's been a few years
it was or ended up being a Wienerschnitzle franchise, I think... or they were bought out. |

There was one about a mile from where I live in the Springs, it's now a Monica's Taco Shop. Out in front of the old Kmart at Palmer Park and Powers. It was okay for late night grub. Fries weren't too great. Could wolf down a bag of burgers, though. |

Sounds like Dick's Hamburgers in Spokane. I think burgers were 25 cents when I lived there.
