Fudruckers.
They were awesome back in the day when they butchered the beef and baked the bread in-house. Not near the same when they started outsourcing, but I still liked them. Fudruckers never made sense to me- order at the counter, then they have a waitress bring it out- pricing was way ahead of its time.

We used to enjoy Jamil’s. In it’s day, Routh Street Cafe was very good. You talking Jamils in Tulsa? That place had a loyal following- reminded me of the type of place the mafia would hang out in I grew up 5 blocks away.

Steak and Ale although some may reopen. Bonanza Steak House in Austin was good. Some of the Sizzlers were good also. I worked at a Bonanza when I was in high school. Fast food steak.

Every town of 10,000 people or more had one in western Oklahoma and Tx. Me and my wife had our first date at the one in Dumas, my life hasn't been the same since.

I also miss all the small town burger drive ins. Dixie Dog, Tasty Treat, Malt shop. Etc. Ron White always mentions he is from Fritch, Tx. His family owned the little mom & pop burger joint here in Fritch. It is still there but is no longer Whites Drive in, was a barbecue place for awhile but is now vacant. As far as I know the building is still owned by his family.

Really miss the Loon (the reopened one wasn't even close to the same). More a bar, but they had good food.
As mentioned Club Schmitz and the Mecca
