Seight 5080 Posted October 18, 2020 I know Back Yard Burgers is still technically around but there's not one close to me so I'm counting it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chapinator_X 3061 Posted October 18, 2020 Barnies Coffee. There’s only one location left, but their coffee got absorbed into Publix and the rest of the stores were closed. We also lost our Crispers, Mimi’s Cafe, and Schlotzky’s, but those still exist elsewhere Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GunStarHero 3062 Posted October 18, 2020 I guess Quincy's for their yeast rolls. Genuinely don't remember any of their other food being notable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

resurrected 3179 Posted October 18, 2020 Western Sizzlin'. It was a steak house, but they died out down here when Longhorn became a thing. Also, Tasty Freeze. We had one and they still hold the record for best burger in my opinion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We had a Tastee Freeze here that became a local restaurant but got BTFO'd when DQ opened up last year. Also, cosign on Naraku/Odin's answers, I could get Quiznos at the student union if I didn't want to go across the street to Subway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mortir 382 Posted October 19, 2020 (edited) I miss the Bahama Breeze that got shut down with the rest of the mall area. Idk I cannot really think of many restaurants that went belly up. Most of them just move away. RIP Don Pablos. Edited October 19, 2020 by Mortir Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tsar4 6263 Posted October 19, 2020 Dog & Suds Drive In - only a handful around. St. George & the Dragon - set up like a medieval castle inside, crock of peanuts & pickles on the old wooden tables, shells thrown on the floor. Large fireplaces and a firepit in the center. Predates all the restaurants that followed with the peanut shells on the floor thing. The Brown Derby - the Gerves (sp?) version, not the Disney wannabee. Taco John's & Monical's Pizza - central IL staples, Monical's has great thin crust. Grizzley's Lodge - Chicago sports bar, 12" tvs at every table with the ability to turn on any NFL game playing. Wild Game burgers & food. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ric 4384 Posted October 19, 2020 That Rax isn't very far from me, I think they are still in business. There is a restaurant called Old Town that I know I will miss, they closed recently. 18 hours ago, resurrected said: Western Sizzlin'. It was a steak house, I vaguely remember that place, I was 6-7 when they closed. I didn't like steak at that age so I always hit up the salad bar.

blueraven1999 2856 Posted October 22, 2020 I miss Luca's that were in the mall. It has such a good sausage roll. Local Mexican restaurant called Margarita Paradise. Had good spicy carrot pieces with the salsa and chips and great chimichangas. It closed down five years ago at least and I still haven't found a good local Mexican restaurant to replace it. Best here is Chipotle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seight 5080 Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) Thought of another one, and ya'll gonna probably look at the name weird Dixie Cafe used to make their chicken strips in the same type of batter as fish usually comes in, so it was smooth on the outside instead of what normal fast food/fast casual fried chicken has.
