York Steak House
During the ‘70s and ‘80s, York Steak House restaurants were found all over the eastern United States. Primarily located in shopping malls, this restaurant chain had a faint knights-of-the-round-table theme. It dished out steaks and fixings in the cafeteria style. It was owned by cereal giant General Mills. When the company sold off York Steak House, many locations of the meat-and-potatoes restaurant chain got shut down in 1989. However, this did not happen to the location on West Columbus in Ohio. It is the last frontier for the restaurant. To this day, it continues to serve pies, baked potatoes, and steaks – this time with an extra helping of nostalgia!

Don Pablo’s
There was a time when Don Pablo’s was the second biggest full-service Tex-Mex restaurant chain in America. It was second only to Chi-Chi’s! First founded in 1985, Don Pablo’s has its roots in Lubbock, Texas. Sadly, it has since lost its sizzle. Until fairly recently, there was a lone Don Pablo’s location in New Jersey still in operation. This was a huge decline from its 120 locations during the late ‘90s. Sadly, this last store shuttered in late June. It suffered from ownership changes and bankruptcy filings.
