There was a restaurant in CoMo back in the day that I miss. Alexander's. You picked out your steak and there was a big fire pit\grill that you could cook your own steaks. For those that didn't want to cook there own they would also do it for you. Had some great steaks there.

Arby's just came out with this.

Smax or Smacks in Metcalf South Mall. They had a topping bar with a bunch of different crap you could put on your burgers. Also Chutes at the corner of 103rd and Metcalf that was an old bank and they served your food using the tubes. Both places sucked by the way which is why they are gone.

Also those Nikerson Farms places on the highway that had glass beehives on the side of the restaurant. Nothing like having to walk past swarms of bees on your way in to eat.

There was a Churtes in Shawnee too. Dang that place was bad. I remember Smacks was closed down because they were using horse meat mixed with the beef.

Porky's.

Chi-Chi's on 40 hwy

Mexican place long time ago. I think the chain went out of business after killing or poisoning a bunch of people

My brother worked sat Chi-Chi's. During his training the head waitress training him said,"Sometimes we are out of something on the menu. Don't get flustered. Just say "We ain't got no none of that."

I don't think this is Q, and if not how can this thread be this long without mentioning Paul Schall's Pizza and Pub?!

I liked the crust of the pizza. Video games and soda. This place personifies 1980 for me.

We had both a Chutes (not for very long) and a Smak's in Grandview too.

Fletcher's Hickory Pit. It was on the corner of Sunshine and Scenic here in Springfield. It was like a big barn and it had these support post that were beautiful. I was young but those post were either finished driftwood or just finished tree trunks. Place had cool beer lights with one looking like a waterfall. Way cool back in the late 60s and early 70s.
