I used to go to the one near Grand River and 8 mile as a kid. I think it's a White Castle now. On the bold, those are the two I hit most also http://www.angelfire.com/mi4/forgottenmi/former/former.html Never seen or been to one Those are the only 2 around here that are worth getting food from.

Best beer food I've ever had. You sure it wasn't just the beer? On 9/13/2018 at 9:59 AM, SmeeAgain said: I remember that restaurant! When I was a kid I remember eating at the local A&W in the car. I'd put the glove box cover down to expose the little round-outs to put my root beer. Pappa burger for Dad, momma burger for Mom, and a baby burger for me. Don't remember what my sister got . Everyone was always into the onion rings except me. LOL Best times were driving by the front window with my buddies blowing the horn with our bare asses hanging out the side windows mooning the patrons after HS football games! We use to go there all the time when I was a kid and there were more of them. There's one left. It's on Woodward in Royal Oak. I miss the old A&W that was on Hall Road and Romeo Plank. The car shows there back in the late 80s early 90s, were famous around the country. It's been gone for a long time now. It's a National Coney Island.

Use to have one by me in Warren at Universal at 12 & Dequindre.

There's a couple places around here that sell Stewart's. Someone else started making Town Club again, but it's not that same as it use to be.

irv Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 (edited) The 2 that come to mind and have likely already been mentioned are A&W and Ponderosa. I know A&W made a comeback but I'm talking about the old A&W where the girls came out on roller skates or were walking and hung your tray on the side window.
