I haven't heard of most of these, but I definitely do miss Steak & Ale. We used to go there when I was a kid and were celebrating something. Good memories of my grandparents, and I very fondly remember the salad bar.
@embiggens1 Nothing beats the nostalgia of a cherished family spot.
Spent a year on one of the largest S&A's with a loft. We called it "Stuck In Hell", but it wasn't really bad.
I use to go with my parents. Such good memories and I thought the food was really good.
Steak & Ale was a favorire date destination and their New York strip was my favorite steak. Add a cold beer and it was an affoedable culinary treat. RIP, Steak & Ale.
@ghw7192 Steak & Ale's New York strip - a classic date night choice.
Ginos' also sold Kentucky Fried Chicken for a period of time. They opened a "Gino's Steak House" in northern Delaware which became Rustler, was sold to Marriott iirc and then became Sizzler. Gino's stumbled with their "Hero Burger", too. It was thinner and dry compared to the Sirloiner and the Giant. They tried a revival around 2010 as "Gino's Burgers and Chicken", but the one here in KOP closed after a short time.
Once again, most of these restaurants aren’t bad; they just don’t exist anymore.
@COMPFUNK2 Totally get it. These are more about fond memories than criticism. Miss them!
The only one of these that I've even heard
of is Chi-Chi's, which explains everything🙄
@JaneDoe-ov1hb Chi-Chi's definitely stands out from the list.
Steak & Ale ROCKED! It is MISSED.
I was a cook in Albuquerque's Chi-Chis on San Mateo and we had a ball and a great clientele...not to mention the fried ice cream.
“Fried ice cream”?
Yes fried ice cream. There’s a chain that has it in hickory nc. One time we brought our own ice cream because they were out of it
@@mushethecowboycook9353 But how does one fry ice cream? Wouldn’t it melt in the extremely hot oil?
@@pooky-changaming4089 what I’ve had was rolled in like cornflakes with sugar and cinnamon, then deep fried for a few seconds
@@mushethecowboycook9353 Yes, but wouldn’t the ice cream melt in all that hot boiling oil?
I worked for Denny's in a VIPs conversation restaurant in 1985 till 1989..Many of the employees worked at VIPs. They carried over high standards, including excellent guest service, consistent high quality food and outstanding cleaningness and sanitation. Excellent employee retention customer was right and I was proud to work there. Denny's did a great job carrying on the VIPS standards
We absolutely loved Happy Chef.
@lorilxn1597 So glad you loved Happy Chef! It's a fantastic place
There is still an original Chi-Chi's in Bradenton Florida as well as a Sizzler in Orlando.
Although, Orlando is known to have every restaurant one could think of.
@charlesurrea1451 Interesting! The original Chi-Chi's in Bradenton is a hidden gem.
I saw in a article that Steak & Ale is atcually opening its first new location in Kansas since it went bankrupt in 2008
Obscure restaurants can be wonderful.
@jasonbean2764 Absolutely! Hidden gems can be real treasures.
I love lists like this, but the clips from movies and TV is throwing me off. But thanks for the memories. I'll subscribe!
@shortfusestudios2367 Noted! Movie and TV clips might be a distraction.
You missed Brown's Chicken. It was great until the Brown's Chicken Massacre during the early 1990s shuttering the whole corporation.
Yep in Palatine Illinois. I remember watching that footage on the ABC channel 7 Chicago news as a teenager. 😢
@trumpwonandyouknowit Absolutely, Brown's Chicken had a sad turn with the Massacre in the '90s.
“Brown’s Chicken Massacre”?
The Brown's Chicken massacre was a mass murder that occurred on January 8, 1993, in Palatine, Illinois, when two robbers shot and killed seven employees at a Brown's Chicken fast-food restaurant.@@pooky-changaming4089
Brown’s Chicken does still exist. They have at least around 2 dozen locations in the Chicago area. I think they’re called Browns Chicken and Pasta now.
Steak&Ale! That was our family treat about 3-4X a year. Such good memories and the food was 😋😋😋
Around 1960 I went to my first McDonalds. I lifted the top bun to remove the pickle. I took it back to the window and asked them if I could please have one without a dead fly on the burger. Yes, a dead fly.... :(
In 1977 my sister pulled her little VW Dasher out of the driveway of our home in PA, headed down to Florida for college. Dad and 10-year-old-me followed in the family wagon with the rest of her belongings. One thing I remembered about the trip was eating at a fast-food place in Tallahassee called WUV's. They had great burgers, skin-on fries, good onion rings, and a DELICIOUS fruit drink made of passion fruit and pineapple... and if memory serves with bits of actual fruit in it. The employees wore purple uniforms and the color dominated the restaurant's theme. I read years later online that they folded in 1981 and locations were as far-flung as Long Island. Shame, because it would have made a nice addition to the national FF landscape.
Another place I remember on our trips down to Florida in the 80s was Po' Folks, which offered traditional southern-style family fare. I thought it had gone out of business... and reading about Burt Reynolds losing millions after investing in the company ... but a few years ago I saw one in St. Petersburg and apparently a few locations still exist in Florida.
@yossarian6799 It sounds like WUV's left a lasting impression on you with its distinctive purple theme and delicious offerings. It's unfortunate when beloved establishments like that close down.
As for Po' Folks, it's interesting that you've seen a few locations still operating in Florida. The restaurant chain did indeed face financial troubles, and Burt Reynolds' investment didn't pan out as expected. The majority of Po' Folks locations did close down, but it seems like some managed to survive, perhaps through local ownership or other factors.
WUV'S & Po Folks also had locations in the Detroit, MI area (WUV'S; @ least 3. Po Folks; 1 in Roseville). GR8 FOOD @ BOTH (especially WUV'S Onion Rings)!!!!!
I'm not going to lie....I liked Steak and Ale
I saw in the video a clip of a popular restaurant chain that was exclusive to Zellers department stores here in Canada. It had great food from breakfast to burgers all day! However sadly it's long gone along with the department stores themselves. There are however small Zellers sections in some Hudson Bay stores but without it's iconic eatery. However, for those looking for a taste of nostalgia,there are some pop up food trucks that offer some of the tasty fare that it used to offer such as the the Big Z burger.
@squirrel-1969 That sounds like a nostalgic gem, especially with the iconic Big Z burger!
Gino's is back in Baltimore and it's awesome such good food😊
You missed a few: Burger Chef, Sambo's, Lyon's, Howard Johnson's, and Carrow's.
The biggest thing I remember about Happy Chef was that while the food was okay the bigger, creepier shoney's big boy statue outside the restaurants
That One KILLED ME! 🤣🤣🤣 11:06
Pure Comedy Genius!
It's a shame Gino's didn't make it. It seemed like a very good chain. As for Pumper Nic, had they changed their logo earlier to not resemble Burger King's logo so much, they likely wouldn't have had as many problems. But Burger Chef, Red Barn, and Howard Johnson's are the three defunct chains I REALLY wish could've stayed open. From the unique characters of the chains, whether it be Burger Chef's monster characters, Red Barn's Muppet-like Hungries, or Howard Johnson's nursery rhyme themed characters, these chains had attention to detail and theming. I've heard that all three chains had good food, but sadly, as a 2000s kid, I never got to try ANY of them. Suggestion for future video: Top Ten Facts About The California Raisins? You could talk about how they won an EMMY for their first special: Meet The Raisins, and how the Raisins also got their own Saturday Morning Cartoon. You could also talk about Will Vinton and his other mascot creations like The Noid and the M&Ms Spokescandies in the Top Ten Facts About The California Raisins video.
Anyone notice a pattern here, Marriott screwed up many restaurants they took over.
I still have not seen anything in Pip's (burgers), Pup'N'Taco, or Jim Dandy Fried Chicken...
@bardmoss Pip's, Pup'N'Taco, and Jim Dandy Fried Chicken - sounds like a tasty trio!😋
Yee gawds that Happy Chef statue is horrifying. Swear he looks like he'd beat you to a blood spattered pulp with that spoon.
That Happy Chef statue looks like it went to culinary school and majored in nightmares!😂
A few days ago, I saw where Steak & Ale was trying to make a comeback.
@bobmarlowe3390 Really? Steak & Ale making a comeback sounds interesting!
@@BabbleTop, the guy who bought the company also bought Bennigan's. He's trying to bring back both of them.
Great work babble 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
The thumb bot spams again
@germanywho Thanks a lot! Your support means a ton. 👍🏾
@@BabbleTop it's a bot............
Hey Ginos, Steak and Ale , and Chi Chis were great......... Ginos was a bit pricy but the portions were like big enough for 4 , The bars at the Chi Chis in the DC area were packed singles pick up places in the post disco 80s. Steak and Ales were crowded for socializing .. kind a really hit a nich in a lot of towns....... these were great places in their time
Gino's and Ameche's were an outgrowth of the Baltimore Colts winning the NFL championship over the New York Giants. Hamburgers were "pricy" at $0.15 for regular hamburgers.
The Gino's locations were purchased by both Hardee's and Kentucky Fried Chicken. They reemerged as Gino's and are making a resurgence in the Baltimore area. [By the way, Marchetti is pronounced Mar-ket-tee]
Seems like people do miss some of these places.
I thought I recognized that W in Wag's. It looks just like the W in Walgreens 😂
That is because Wag's was originally owned by Walgreens.
@ThePirateprincess23 Wow, I had no idea! Thanks for sharing this interesting fact about Wag's and Walgreens.
Can't get nothing by you.
The last Happy Chef is about a 10 minute drive from where I live, the same location I used to go to as a kid with my dad. They still make good biscuits and gravy.
@Stormy_Coyote That's a heartwarming connection to your childhood! It's amazing that the last Happy Chef near you still maintains the tradition of serving delicious biscuits and gravy.
Still have a Happy Chef 10 miles from my house. Great place to go for breakfast!
Since when was Steak and Ale fast food?
Not sure I understand this video. You praise a lot of these chains, yet call them "Worst" and say "That no one misses" them? The only part of your title that is completely true is that they failed. The majority of them failed because of poor management or a bad business model. Take Steak & Ale, for example. They were quite popular. However, they, as you point out, served a lot of food for a low price. In the end, it was an unsustainable business model. It doesn't matter how many customers you serve if you're losing money.
I LOVED Steak & Ale. Really miss them!! Never heard of any of the others.
@phillipstephens4522 Steak & Ale had a special charm! Any favorite dish or memory from there?
@@BabbleTop Yes. I loved the swordfish steak and the surf and turf. Their vegetables were also tasty. I also loved the ambiance.
The only i've been to was Chi Chi's and i loved it miss it so much
The Gino's in Pasadena, Maryland is STILL there and OPEN!!
I grew up and still live in Mankato, MN... the site of the OG Happy Chef. Technically the video is wrong - the current Happy Chef is in North Mankato which is a different city and county, but just across the river. It relocated in the '80's from Mankato. The pandemic almost killed the chef for good, but he's still kickin'! If you're fans of MST3K, they occasionally riffed on Happy Chef.
@FeralPatrick I love hearing about the history of Happy Chef in Mankato. 👌🏻
I was once a chef at Chi Chi's!
6:42 Anybody who needs 6 seconds to cut ONE slice of bread will get fired in a New York minute.
Pioneer Chicken
OJ was the spokesman. They closed because of... you all already know the Nicole and Ron situation.
@LewisZwarteLeeuwUS You're right, the OJ Simpson situation impacted Pioneer Chicken's closure.
Leaving Pioneer to be memorialized by Warren Zevon's "Carmelita."
I worked at the Pasadena, Maryland Gino's great bunch of people.
@sandraadams-franklin9287 That's cool! Did you have a favorite menu item at Gino's while you were working there?😊
Chi-Chi’s, York PA, where I took my fiancé after I bought her diamond at Tommy Van Scoy, Park City Mall, Lancaster PA in 1994. Now before you think “cheapskate”, I seldom pick where we eat because I don’t care where. At that time she was a fast food junkie and decided that was a step up for this occasion. Once, I took her to a place, in ‘89, that was very nice, upscale. We had prime rib all the trimmings, drinks, etc. Remember, 1989, the bill was over $60, she said it was nice, much appreciated but ridiculous to spend that much money. At age 37, she had never been to a place so expensive and nice. After that, she picks (still) where we eat (no fast food anymore) I’m happy with a ham sandwich or a burger and sweet tea while standing at the sink so….. I don’t care.
@petegregory517 From fancy dinners to ham sandwiches, your love story is uniquely yours.🥰
@@BabbleTop The woman is a trip, one of a kind. Put a roof over her head, feed her (economically) she's good. Doesn't have a car, doesn't want one. Only rules? Don't beat on me, don't cheat on me, so you can assume her background.
I miss Chi-Chi’s!
That sad no misses them
English not your first language is?
@@Whiteboykun actually it is
@@CorbinLeonard-rp4et hire a lawyer and sue whatever school taught you English
@@Whiteboykun no bro I didn't talk at first until the elematry school taught me English
@CorbinLeonard-rp4et Sad to hear they aren't missed by anyone.
I doubt they'll be part 4 but I'm fine with that cuz I kinda doubt but there are any more places that you could possibly find😅 🤷♀️
Nice
if you think they're so bad why do you make them sound good?
You're nuts if you think people don't miss Chi Chi's. That place is highly missed.
Steak and Ale was pretty good actually. Good steaks and that Kensington Club was really great. Chi-Chi wasn't that great. There are usually much better Mexican places on every corner in most places.
@LaserRanger15 I agree, Steak and Ale had some delicious offerings. The Kensington Club was a standout! Chi-Chi's might not have been a favorite, but I get your point on Mexican places-they're everywhere!💕
0:23 Soupy Sales! :)
Planet Hollywood what a ripoff
IIRC, the name Vip's was pronounced as a word, not as the individual letters.
Queasy come, queasy go! 😁😁😁😁😁
@michaelterrell Queasy come, queasy go, with a smile! 😁
@@BabbleTop And a barf bag! 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
what happen to wesson hamburgers ?
I loved Ginos
It wasn’t just chi chi’s……mist all chain Mexican restaurants went under when local Mexican restaurants opened with better tasting food and much better prices
@freddyjefferson5164 Absolutely agree. Local Mexican restaurants offer a genuine taste that's hard for chain places to replicate, and at better prices too!
Hmm... El Torito. Not poison, but the little guys kept outdoing ET on flavor and depth. Food like Abuela used to make.
Nickerson Farms
Wetson's was so GROSS! they were even nastier than McDonalds
@katieallen8021 Sometimes fast food disappointments can be quite memorable.😂
Gino's was loved by its customers and employees. Gino's created the Gino Giant, which was copied by McDonald's exactly and named the Big Mac. Gino's created the Sirlioner, which was copied by McDonald's exactly and named the Quarter Pounder. BTW, Marchetti was pronounced Marketti. Get your facts straight.
So shame
Burger chef and jeff
I liked Happy Chef
@catherinebuck823 Awesome choice! Happy Chef is great. 🍜👍
How are these sit down restaurants "fast food fails"? Stupid.

What makes you think anyone cares about this??
Chi-Chi’s and Steak & Ale were not fast food joints. They were sit down table service restaurants. They were pretty bad, and we do not miss them at all.
Who is "we"? Did you take a poll? Steak & Ale was great. I'll agree with you on Chi-Chi's though.
