No relation to any similarly-named burger joints, Smack McDonald’s started out as the Smack Restaurant in Sarasota before moving to Venice. Here’s a photo. Here’s another. Home of the Smackburger!

The Dwarf House (Hapeville, GA)

Restaurant_DwarfHouse

by Rich Watson

Rich Watson previously.

The Dwarf House’s claim to fame was a chicken sandwich they called the Chick-fil-A. This evolved into the fast food franchise of the same name. The Hapeville location is still open, now known as “The Chick-fil-A Dwarf House”.

Chuck-A-Burger (St. Louis, MO)

by Matt Feazell

by Matt Feazell

Matt Feazell writes:
Chuck A Burger was on the riverfront. Their slogan was “Best burger west of the Mississippi (so far)”

This might be the only sketch in the bunch where an artist drew a restaurant they were actually familiar with. It’s still in business!

The Ground Cow (Berkeley, CA)

Restaurant_GroundCowAnother unknown artist. Why can’t I remember these people?

I’m not sure when the Berkeley location closed, but the last Ground Cow (in Penryn, CA) ceased operation just a couple of months ago. Their Facebook page is still up, with lots of nice pictures of things you could’ve ordered.
