    Just found this gem and discovered it’s about a 20 minute drive from a long time friend of mine. Road trip!
    10/24 update, mission accomplished. It was awesome!

    We're on vacation from work this week. We left the kids behind and are driving down from North Columbus.
    Ohio is the heart of it all because we still got Rax.

      Most of them are in southwestern Ohio, so if you live elsewhere in the state, I wouldn't be surprised. We lost our last Pittsburgh area Rax like 15 years ago, and there are only 8 left. The 6 in Ohio, one in Kentucky, and one near Chicago.

    3 years ago( which is about the time this video came out coincidentally), i was driving from to Columbus Zoo back to WV and actually passed the Lancaster exit with my wife and kids and saw the sign for it. I seriously demanded we go in there but my wife raised hell and the kids always side with her.
    Came back to Wv empty handed and it hurts worse since my town lost their Rax back the very early 90s.

  • @SigmaSheepdog
    @SigmaSheepdog 5 лет назад +4

    Being from the Pittsburgh area I just love watching these episodes. Back in the late 70's early 80's here was a Rax about ten minutes walking distance from my house in Duquesne, it was right across the street from Kennywood parking lot. I visited that Rax quite a bit!

    I actually laughed out loud when they got to their destination! My sister is on vacation and I'm sending this to her. We both worked at Rax on Baum Blvd and it was such a fun place to work (except for one sucky manager)! My sister actually got robbed one night and slammed the cash register drawer on the robber's hand then locked herself in the manager's office! Hilarious episode!

    I found this information in Wikepedia, "Rax Roast Beef is a regional U.S. fast food restaurant chain specializing in roast beef sandwiches. The company is based in Ironton, Ohio......Once a major player in the fast food industry, Rax has extensively scaled down its operations since its peak in the 1980s. At its peak in the 1980s, the Rax chain had grown to 504 locations in 38 states along with two restaurants in Guatemala, and two restaurants in Canada.The Canadian locations were in Lethbridge and Red Deer, Alberta......The last Rax in Indiana closed in 2011. By February 2015, there were 15 locations in Illinois, Kentucky, and Ohio, and West Virginia. The last Rax in West Virginia closed in 2016 and the number of locations declined to eight by March 2016. Before 2017, at least two Long John Silver's locations (both in Ohio, in Georgetown and West Union) added smaller Rax menus. Both locations have since shut down."

      The Rax I grew up with was turned into a Tim Horton’s and is now Gumby’s Cigarette and Beer world.

    I used to work at a RAX restaurant in Oregon in the 80's when I was in high school. I remember at the time not being able to afford eating there. I was a poor kid so I stuck with McDonalds and Taco Bell when I could afford to eat out. RAX was on the high end of fast food pricing at the time. I did enjoy the food when I was able to get a discount on it while working there.

    @2:58 -- According to Wiki, Rax discontinued the "Endless Salad Bar" in 1988. That's definitely an old building/sign!

    Haven't had Rax since the Uniontown one closed. Always liked it better than Arby's.

    Whoa, wait, Pittsbugh Dad would never be driving a Honda. He needs to put a sticky note over that steering wheel emblem and draw in either the Ford or Chevy emblem. You can only purchase an import once you leave Pittsburgh.

    Hahahahahahahaha! I love these videos! I remember there being a Rax in Bethel Park when I was very small and had just moved there. I honestly can't remember if we ate there or not, but I probably would've liked it as I love roast beef sandwiches. The Rax eventually became a Taco Bell. I also love the old Wendy's newspaper tables reference because my mom would take me to the Wendy's across from where we lived every now and then for a burger. Those tables were a little creepy to me when I was little, but I miss them now. That Wendy's had a greenhouse and everything. I remember I busted a glass ashtray there by accident. That's how long ago it was: there was a smoking section. Greenhouses have really gone poof on restaurants. Oh, well. Fast food evolves all the time. Shoot, I've read that fast food places didn't even have spaces to sit and eat until the late 60's. Now we need a slab of granite in there, apparently. I'm glad there's at least one Rax about, even if it isn't in Pittsburgh. Thanks, Pittsburgh Dad!
