      #3 Steak & Ale. Always wondered about this one, there was a closed/abandoned one near my place in Virginia for years, I always passed it, but it was boarded up. The sign remained, here is the front of it. I just checked google maps again, looks like it was replaced with a grass field since I departed the area in 2021.

          #6 Howard Johnsons (HoJos), I always thought that was a motel.

              #15 Steak & Ale... again? This might've been an AI-written list.

                Steak & Ale, Lums and HOJO were 3 we used to use during the 70s and 80s.

                  Ponderosa, Godfather's and Lums for us.

                  Had one in the mall we used to frequent. Remember The Lion's Share?

                    Arthur Treacher’s Fish & Chips was known for its crispy fish fillets and hearty chips. This chain brought the taste of the British seaside to America

                    As somebody who grew up fairly near the British seaside, 'taste' isn't something I want to do to it.

                    I was only joking
