Cheeseburgers are forever.
However, the places that sell cheeseburgers can be distressingly ephemeral. Fast food chains come and fast food chains go. Even the ones we love dearly can pack up shop and leave town at the drop of a hat.
So, let's pay tribute to some bygone eateries. Tell us whether you can recall these chains, and then be sure to share some memories in the comments section below!

Pup N Taco was mainly in Southern California in the 60’s and 70’s. It was so good, much better than Taco Bell or Del Taco! The thing I remember the best was their grape slushie to drink, I wish I could go back and drink it today!
Don't forget the Pups - chili dogs and crinkle-cut fries after school - man, I miss that place!!
90% here. Some they did not mention: Carrols (a burger place); Arthur Treacher's Fish & Chips; Elby's Big Boy (family dining); and my childhood favorite, Red Barn - I *loved* their kid's chicken meals way back when. 😋

Many I had heard of but never seen in person.
I remember eating at a Burger Queen & a Druthers in KY as a kid. McDonalds used to be good as a kid when they actually cooked them on the big griddle.

100 percent. Sadly, I only remember Burger Chef because of the Burger Chef murders that took place near Indianapolis in November, 1978. Four employees were murdered execution style after a robbery. They had two suspects however they couldn't prove either one of them was guilty. They tore down the place and another business is at the site. There's a memorial of a park bench and four trees for the victims. It is still the greatest unsolved murder case in Indiana history.
I remember hearing about that case. Very sad for those 4 employees. I loved Burger Chef as a kid, though. It was the first fast food burger joint my small town had. As kids, we'd stop and get burgers on our way to go swimming at the local city park. Good memories. 😊

Don't forget Bob's Big Boy Burger because I remember this place or something like the place called Happy Steak in Fresno CA but now it's no longer in town.

I'm guessing a lot of these places were regional. I'm a lifelong SoCal resident and haven't heard of most of them. Pup 'n Taco we did have, however.
I'm guessing they are regional, too. I'm from California and I got only 30%
90% similar. I remember the old Carol's fast food restaurants, which I believe are now Burger King restaurants. Used to be able to get a small fry, burger and shake for under a dollar.
