    From 1967 through 1971 I was a college student in Bloomington, IL, and we had a Lum's within walking distance of campus. Lum's was the place for college students to go for beer, a hot dog, and fries, and I was a regular back then. I remember the great selection of beer, which was not matched by any other restaurant at the time. I moved away from that area upon graduation in 1971, and I only returned once in 1974. I often wondered what had happened to Lum's, and I'm sorry to see the chain folded.

      R J the ones I remember best. There was one at Hall Street and Riverview in the Baden area. The other was one on Watson Road (66) at Laclede Station Road. The third (not sure) was in west county possibly Manchester. I grew up around the white water tower on Grand Avenue/20th street,. I worked as a stock boy for 905 Liquor on the weekends. When I got off work I'd head to Lums on Riverview most of the time since it was closer to my home. I sometimes went to the Watson Road one (they had prettier waitresses but more crowded).
      I'm 68, but I remember that smell as soon as I hit the door, char broiled burgers. God I miss it. However all those neighborhoods changed and the city b gain to die off throughout the later 70's and on.

    Lum's was rebadged as "Dusty's Ranch House" when they entered the Dallas, Texas market. I worked there as a waiter in the late 70's and remember the name Weinerwald appearing on my paychecks. Food was good, but I don't remember an "Ollieburger" being on the menu (I still have copies of those menus). I do remember the steak fries being quite good, along with the key lime pie, which I learned to make and would duplicate at home...so good! Interior design of Dusty's was like in the video at 5:09.

    There was a Lum's in Salem, NH, when I was a kid growing up in the 70s. I only have vague memories of it. Never realized it originated in Florida! Very interesting, thank you for the episode!

      one of the better places to go eat in the early 80's. nothing spectacular but usually consistent. and always clean which in our family that is as important as the quality and consistency of the foods you eat.

      We had a Morrison’s in Sarasota Florida. As a child, after church my grandmother and I would go there for lunch. The staff was unbelievably friendly efficient and kind. What a great memory. And this was in the early 60s.

    There used to be a Lum's in both Ithaca NY and in Big Flats NY near Horseheads, and Elmira!! I was a kid and always wanted to eat there!! The strange thing is my parents never took us there!! When I finally got old enough to stop there myself the Lum's location in Ithaca had already closed and was basically an empty building!! And the one in Big Flats was only open certain days, and it seemed to always be closed when I would drive by it on days I was in that area!! Being I actually lived in Ithaca, it wasn't like I was in the Bog Flats area all the time.....so I never knew when they were open and when they were not!!

      @Greg Benwell - I grew up in Tompkins County but my parents thought we kids shouldn't eat at Lums because the strong emphasis on beer and the numbers of college students hanging out there. We did go to the Lums once when shopping at the Mall in Big Flats and I liked it enough so that later I remember occasionally eating at the Lums in Ithaca with my buddies after shooting pool at the nearby Ithaca Bowl. Unfortunately, the McDonald's was more in our budget!
