Guessing others around my age had many meals here:
Always had a special appeal with the buffet (shout-out thempudding), video games, and they all had this jukebox:
Many a soccer trophy was handed out here at year end parties.
You know Druff was a fan of Stuffed Crust pizza

My favorite Burger Chef memory was hitting one as a kid while on vacation in Florida. My dad got burger and after a couple bites realized there was no burger in it. For some reason I have found memories of the place probably because I never forgot that visit.
Hardee’s bought them out in the 90’s and still occasionally brings back the Big Shef as a limited time item. The Big Shef was their attempt at a Big Mac.
Burger Chef and his sidekick Jeff were the mascots.
Bob Evans is shuttering stores all over the place and the investment group has a for sale sign on them. I have been to Bob Evans many of times, but what crippled their operations is when the grocery division spun off as a separate company (which is a cash cow), which forced the restaurant chain to be self sufficient. The quality has just gone downhill. But the real culprit is the Love's, Pilot, Flying J phenomenon. They have Dennys, McDonalds and now even IHOPs connected to them. This dramatically saves on real estate costs, and it's just more convenient for the traveling consumer. Plus, in today's economy, its just not realistic to expect a family of 4 to spend $70 (with tip) at a Bob Evans, when you can run through a McDonalds driver thru and spend $25. I'd be shocked if they make it to the end of the decade. I went into one over the summer for lunch and the place was a 1/3rd full, meanwhile the Chick Fil A across the street had a line with literally 50 cars deep. I got some type of turkey and mashed potato plate, with tip it was $22. It was fine but I could have got a chicken sandwich at a drive thru for $5 and saved 45 minutes. BE just outlived its usefulness in a changing economy, society.
Roy Rogers thought they were outta business but remember this place as a kid

How the FUCK is a family of 4 eating at McDonald’s for $25 in 2024? Sharing a couple burgers and asking for water cups?

It's been going on for months now and going into 2025. Double burger or chicken sandwich, 4 nuggets, fries and a coke for $5. You are right, I had the wrong price, with tax more like $21.60 for a family of 4.
Another oldie we had in PA was Gino’s Hamburgers. The Gino’s Giant was their main offering. They were named and partially owned by a former Baltimore Colt Gino Marchetti. Gino’s was also a KFC franchise and sold their chicken. Gino’s had over 300 stores before Marriott bought them and turned them into Roy Roger’s, tying into the post above by Garrett.
