My wife and I would sometimes go to Lums when we were courting in the 70's. They aren't around any more but we both are, for 47 years married, and 49 as a couple.
God bless. And I hope you are doing well and continue to be well. I was born in 57 so I remember those 70s as a teen quite well.
@@gkprivate433 Thank You GK I hope you are well also.
great story
Does she still steam your hot dogs in beer to reminisce?

My parents met while working at a Lum’s Restaurant in St. Pete Beach. I collect Lum’s memorabilia.
That’s so darn cute.
That’s adorable.
Loved the Warners Bros. Cartoon glasses from Lums. Still have an Elmer Fudd.
Fun story
Which parent did the 1st hotdogs joke
I've never heard of Lum's, but I enjoyed this video.
Back in the day they had some Great food and the employees were nice.
It was a loss.
I remember there was a Lum's in Houston...
There were a number of locations outside Boston where I grew up. I remember going to the one on Route 1 in Saugus MA
We had one in the mall in Illinois, right across from Walgreens. Last ate there in 2001. Was closed shortly after.
They had good hot dogs , might been more of a southern thing.
I remember eating at Lum's when I was a kid in Homewood Illinois. The hot dogs were the jumbo 1/4 lb dinner size and the beer steaming gave them a unique and delicious flavor.
Wonderful hot dogs with kraut &cheese! And a cold lowenbrau in a frosted mug. Great lunch!!
When I lived in Dale City, VA. we used to eat at Lums in Woodbridge, VA. at least every other week . Loved their hot dogs
We used to go to the one in Homewood often, I sure miss that.
I loved LUMS in the 1960's.
There was a Lums near the pier where my grandfather liked to go fishing. Regardless of how we did at fishing we always stopped for a hot dog at Lums.
To this day, I still cook my hotdogs in beer just like we had them at LUMS , that’s how much of an impression LUMES put on to me ‘!!!!!!!
50's was a time of great expansion in America. The rest of the world was recovering from WWII and we had millions men who had been in WWII and felt after that, they could do anything.
I was thinking something similar. I was thinking as an Australian it would have been a great time to do a road trip through America. The sense of achievement and the brotherliness between allies after the war would have been something to experience.
I have a daydream of doing a US road trip following the Civil War western campaign starting in Kansas City and the WW1 museum and ending in Chattanooga or Atlanta. But my imagination always takes me up the Appalachians after that!
Exactly! Men came home form WWII and did incredible things. The following generations, not so much.
Until the late 70s when corporations went overseas.
I remember down in south florida, late 70s/early 80s my mom would take us to eat at LUMS. She was a tough critic on restaurants. But, loved LUMS. We did too. This guy makes great videos about the golden days. Makes you really appreciate/miss yesteryears.
Yes I remember the one in Ft Lauderdale area back when I was a kid in the 70s my dad would take me for lunch sometimes on the weekends 🤔🌭
@@frankrizzo4460 Yes that was the one. Ha! Pretty cool.
Lums was a tourist attraction in the Great Smokey Mountains in Tennessee. Stop at Lums and then candy apples. Fond memories.
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.
I live in Columbia, SC and we had a Lum's here that closed in the late 70s. It became a deli after that, which is still here. The interior and exterior still look almost the same as when it was Lum's, including the same tables and chairs that were in this video. BTW, the hot dogs steamed in beer were delicious.
We had a LUMS near us until 1982 in Queensbury NY
Ate here all the time in the late 60s in Florida...it was great!
Lived in Houston in the 60s and loved Lums...
Man, I remember Lums!! Yum!!❤ wish they were still around!
Lived in FL as a kid and ate there a number of times. Thanks for the memory!
There was one we would visit in Gatlinburg TN when we were on vacation in the 70’s that was on the main drag.
Loved the Ollie burger as a kid!!!
I remember lums for their ham, best I have ever had.
Loved Lum's in CT as kid remember it well.
Grew up in Miami.....i remember eating there, and it was good.
Used to hang at the Lums in Chelmsford, MA. Great beer, dogs, AND onion rings.
I used to love the Lum's in south Tampa!!
Even though we're from NY/NJ the only Lums I'd been to was in South FL. My uncle had been going down since he was a teen. His mom bought a condo in Pompano in the 70's & I went down to stay. Took me to Lums, first time & loved it. Big dogs steamed in beer. Loved the collectible Warners Bros. Cartoon character glasses. Went home with a Tweety & a Sylvester. Years later saw them at flea markets. Recently picked up an Elmer Fudd. Good memories 😊
Thank you so much Recollection Road for uploading this great video, I appreciate it!
They had the best key lime pie I ever had. Sorry to hear they are gone.
Peoria, Illinois represent!
We had a Lums in Clearwater on Gulf to Bay Blvd just down from Clearwater High School. My dad loved that place. We ate there all the time. Too bad they went under.
Wow....who knew Lum's was the first step to Cesars Palace. Our family loved Lums in Fort Walton Beach and was considered our healthy eating stop!! Kids still have souvenirs from it.
I remember Lums well. Now you need to research the Sweden House Smorgasbord!
My uncle used to race a car that was sponsored by lums in Norfolk v.a.
Loved Lum’s chili dogs growing up in Elkhart, Indiana.
We had a Lums on 8mile on Detroit's east side. I remember they served beer. When I went there it was in the 70s..
. I was pre-teen.
I grew up in South Florida in the 70s. Whenever my mom was out of town my dad would take me and my brother, sister to Lum's for dinner because he didn't want to cook. Good times.
I'm from Daytona Beach and remember my mom waitressed at Lums on Ridgewood Ave/US 1 from 1966-1972. We didn't have a car and she could walk across the street to work. She served a lot of the Nascar driver's in town for the Daytona 500. I miss Lums!
I grew up in S. Florida and loved Lum's. Quick and relaxed and delicious..
Maryland one when I was a kid loved it 🥰🤗😋
We had a Lum's up here in Kokomo Indiana. Must have been in mid to late 60's , don't remember ever having one though
Yes. Chicken in a basket as a kid with my Dad in Massachusetts. Best chicken and fries. Memories!
I didn’t have the hotdogs but their breakfast menu was pretty good! We went there two weeks straight while visiting Florida back in 1981.
I remember Lum’s in the 70’s I worked at Grants store in Penn Hills, PA and a bunch of us went and ate there at lunch time every day and sometimes came back a little tipsy. A great place and great food.
Yep one was on W Broward Blvd. Loved the dogs and beer
I loved Lums as a kid the clam strips were great key west Florida
In San Juan, Puerto Rico we had them both, Lum's and The Red Rooster !!! Ah memories of a Great time in the 60's and 70's !!!
I remember the Lum's in San Juan as a kid. I remember the Lumberger, kind of like a sloppy joe.
@@billdescoteaux, hey Bill were your Parents stationed in San Juan "Miramar" Naval Base ???
Dad was XO on the USCG base.
@@billdescoteaux, hey that is great. My Mom worked in the Naval Base. I was a PO2 in the USCG in La Puntilla, Old San Juan !!! Sure you guys had a great time !!! Thanks for the Service !!!
Loved Lum's. Sad they are no longer around. Born and raised in Miami. Moved to Texas in the late 60's.
Lums in Attleboro Massachusetts. Their Italian cheese burger with fries and a coke combo was the best. I lived in East Providence RI not a long drive up Newport Ave. AKA rte 1. The restaurant was very nice inside. Comfortable.
While I never got to experience Lum's, I heard all about it from my friend who went to University of Miami beginning in Sept 1974. He raved about the place!!!! I wish I could have tried it!!!
There was a Lums next to Sarasota Memorial Hospital for years. My pals and I used to go on Friday nights, order Ollie Burgers, fries and pitchers of beer. What a great restaurant. Many fond memories. One Friday during the summer, we were full into rainy season and it rained so hard for a couple hours there was 4 feet of water on Highway 41. We just hung out drinking beer until it all ran off. Good times.
As a 50 year old who grew-up in DC area, I like seeing all the places I saw around DC.
Cool I grew up in Silver Spring Maryland - Class of '82 in HS
I had a family on Georgia Ave and Colesville Rd.
@@jw8165 Nice to meet you, small world I grew up near White Oak and Hilandale and Woodmoor and Colesville Colesville Road New Hampshire Avenue University Boulevard Randolph Road
Shopping at Wheaton Plaza when it was an out-door mall!!
I used to live near the final location in Bellevue, NE. Watched The Irishman last night with my wife and during the scene with Lum's, I gotto fill her in on this little piece of history. :)
I've never heard of this place thanks for sharing 😊
OMG. I’ve watched every one of your videos and I can truly say I’ve been in the Lums in Peoria, IL pictured in your video. The B&W with Ollie and Joe Stowell I visited frequently in the late ‘70s when I was a student at Bradley Univ. Joe Stowell was the men’s basketball coach for BU at the time. This was the Western Ave location shown on the ad. Thanks for reviving some great college memories!!
Thank you for another great video! Greetings from Germany :-)
My dad used to take me out for a Lum's Burger in the 60s!
When I was young we had a Lum’s in Norwalk, CT. I don’t really remember the experience, but I do remember the building.
I lived in the St.Louis area 60-70's and there were 3 Lums that knew of. They had the greatest menu at that time. They were cozy restaurants with red and white checkered tablecloths with low ceilings. They were the perfect place for atmosphere and fantastic food. I tried fried clams for the first time at a Lums and was immediately hooked. Of all the restaurants you've featured, this one I would have liked to have stuck around.
Do you remember the street names they were on ? I'm from STL.
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.
@@steve119100 didn’t know that. Bonanza was another favorite.
Went to LUM'S in St. Augustine FL back in the late 60's and early '70's...GREAT FOOD!!!!
We had one in Worcester ma. It closed in the 80's and became barbers crossing. That went out of business too. So is the building.
Some very classic cars in that last frame.
Oh that reminded me! Our Lum’s was on the south end of the main drag that we would cruise up and down on Saturday and Sunday. Lum’s parking lot was the turnaround point to make another pass. We would sit there and watch all the lucky guys with their muscle cars circle the building. And me in my old 58’ VW bug! 😎✌🏻
The last place my grandmother ate before she died. The local Lums was a very cool building, arched plate glass and large white globe lights.
Just luv♥️ the concept.
They had one in Myrtle Beach,South Carolina.
I used to eat at Lums in Goldsboro, NC when I lived there in the early 1970s.
LOL, Recollection Road drives me nuts!!! Seem like every time I watch, I get hungry for something delicious from another defunct chain of restaurants!!!
I lived above a lums restaurant in the OSU area of Columbus Ohio.
My brothers middle name is Columbus , and Lum is a Nick name for people named Columbus, and he goes by the name Lum
Never heard of it until today , west coast here
I have no memory of what LUM’s served but a near fistfight took place when the parents were gone and we found the LUM’s beer glasses in a closet because everyone wanted them. They are on a shelf never used but cherished like the irreplaceable family keepsake they are. This video also explained why dad put all hot dogs and brats in a tin of beer on the grill to simmer after the were cooked. Great stuff even though I hate (joke) this channel for illustrating once again how old I am.
Lum’s was where I had my first beer (legally). That frosted mug full of cold Michelob. We spent many weekend days as young adults eating those great Ollieburgers and throwin back those ice cold beers! Thanks for all the great memories your channel brings. I sure miss the days when life seemed so much simpler.
damn yes the real frosted mug of mich. Jesus the good old days. I would give up my million bucks and go back to that time and start all over again if I could just keep 10% of what I have learned
My wife worked at our local Lums in the early 90's.
Looked like a fun place to eat. And Milton Berle...LOL...what a great spokesperson he must have been.
I remember going to Lums in Braintree, MA. With my brother in the 70s.
Attleboro MA for me. Loved the Italian burger with fries and a coke
Growing up in Miami my family always ate at Lums.
I moved to south Florida in 1979. I LOVED the Ollie Burger! LUMS was also the first place that I ever ate a slice of Key Lime pie. Thank you for this video. (Now I'm in the mood for an Ollie Burger!)
I used to work at the LUM'S RESTAURANT in COLLEGE PARK,MD. Right down the street from the UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND. Back in the'70s . I remember everything about that place. The food, was great and we were open until I think 1:00/2:00 o'clock in the morning everyday, except for the hours between 2:00/6:00 am Sunday. Since we were so close to the university, it got a little crazy with all of the college students. Definitely memories I'll never forget. And an OLLIE BURGER SOUNDS GOOD RIGHT ABOUT NOW. 🤣🤣👍
441, on the southwest corner of the intersection with Hollywood Blvd, in Hollywood, FL. The Wometco theater where I saw Jaws was in the same shopping center. For a while, the Hollywood Fashion Center was across 441, with JC Penney, Jordan Marsh, Richard’s, and Burdine’s.
Loved lums, used to go there every Saturday for breakfast.
Went to the Lums from 1974 to 1976 as a kid at their location south of Flint/north of Grand Blanc, MI on the west side of S. Dort highway. My dad really liked the placed as did the rest of the family. Moved to Kendall, FL south of Miami in late 76 and don't really recall seeing them down there.
We had a Lum's in the middle of Downtown Pittsburgh, PA.
I have never heard of Lums.
I have had hot dogs cooked in beer but have never had beer steamed hot dogs. Might have to try that soon.
Remember Lum's in ElPaso, Texas. It was good food.
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!
Hey guys do a vlog on Morrison’s cafeteria! Now that place was my entire teens and twenties ❤️👍🏼
i grew up in Houston and Wyatt's cafeteria was the place to go...
@@thegreenbird795 probably the same delicious stuff
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.
@@Flap999 such a great place to go after church on Sundays! Great memories with the family. Also anytime we had out of town company, we would go to Morrison’s. Lots of great food and it didn’t break the family budget 😀
I never had a hotdog steamed in beer but I'm going to try doing it myself.
Its really nothing to write home about. It was the novelty of steaming in beer.
@@captainamericaamerica8090
Its an opinion, you may disagree with it, but its not a lie. If they were that great the chain would have survived.
@@charlesbaldo Bad service&COLD FOOD is what took Lums down,Just like happened to Frischs Big Boy,And will happen to KFC,Bob Evans, These punk kids lay on the couch video games going why work Daddy will support them!.
@@packingten
Or worse the government will support them.
@@charlesbaldo Back to food thing,about 1999 we went to Frisch's in western Indiana I got what ever my Wife got Fish&Chips bit into fish is was FROZEN in the middle,SOLID!.WE LEFT!, Manager....I'm sorry,Yes we are too there are places serving SLOP like yours!.
I remember the LUM'S in Gatlinburg Tenn.
Eat there every time I was there.
I ate at that one a couple of times too when we were in the Smokies fishing.
@@sledgehammer9739
Good Trout fishing up that way.
@@garywood60 Yes sir! Pretty good smallmouth bass too.
We had a Lums in our small town of Titusville, Florida! It was next to my elementary school. I don't remember when it closed.
We had several in Jax,Fla., food was good, and that schooner of draft was great.
If only I could go back in time
We had a Lums in my town and we used to go there weekly. I still have a beer mug from there.
There was nothing like an Ollie Burger washed down with an ice cold beer served in what we called a fish bowl. The glass was so cold that ice formed in the beer. Karl Rd. In Columbus
I ate at Lum's in Clearwater Florida
Ate at the one on 441 in Lauderhill many times as a kid growing up in South Fla. Was a treat to go there on Friday nights also the one in Davie Fla. Great hot dogs. Thank you.
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!
Used to go Lumz in Villa Park, Illinois every Wednesday after guitar lessons at Perry's Music. Their fishes and chips were great, I always wondered what happened to them.
Never had one, but it sounds delicious. Pinks and Tommies were the best here in LA. Then they got "discovered" and expensive and it proved Yogi Berra right again: "No one goes there no more: it's too crowded."
Lums was a great place to eat, back in the 70's. We had one down in Marathon in the keys. All the kids used to hang out there. Great times there.
The “Ollieburger” was absolutely delicious! I’ll bet I ate my weight in those heavenly burgers in the 70’s!!
We had 4 Lum's locationsin Peoria Illinois and I have eaten at all 4 lol. They all closed from the 80's to the mid 2000's. We are listed on the flyer at 0:40 . The hot dogs were fantastic!
Back in the '80s, my friends and I would make trips to Peoria just to have Lum's for supper. Can't remember the hot dogs, but the Ollie Burgers were good and so was the Key Lime Pie.
Prob my fav RUclips channel ever. Top 5 at least
Check out the history guy
