Mr. Steak

This chain of steakhouses was popular in the 1970s. Unfortunately, these steaks weren’t juicy enough to keep ahead of the competition from upstart steakhouse chains, such as Stuart Anderson’s Black Angus and the California-based Sizzler. In 1987, Mr. Steak folded after bankruptcy. The chain had almost 300 locations all over the U.S. at its peak.

The double-decker burgers that Bob’s Big Boy serves and its iconic mascot became an American highway staple in the 20th century. These days, the chain continues to hold on in around 100 locations in the Midwest and California.
