    Most Popular Fast Food Chains Each Decade starting with the 1930's

    -While it often seems as though there's a Starbucks or McDonald's on every corner these days, these eateries weren't always as ubiquitous as they seem today. Once upon a time, you'd be hard-pressed to find a hamburger anywhere other than a sit-down eatery, and the very notion of coffee you could take on the go or a pizza delivered to your home would be laughable.

    So, where did people stop to get a quick bite nearly a century ago? Where did your grandparents go for a meal when they were short on cash? We've rounded up the most popular fast food chains in every decade, so you can take a trip down memory lane with these famous foods...

    The fast food restaurants I remember most from early childhood that my father often took us to is McDonald’s, TopHat (a restaurant similar to White Castle), and A&W, where they had the papa burger/mama burgers. But Mickey D’s was always our favorite.

    I remember Burger King was pretty dominant in the 1970s despite this article claiming they took off in the 80s. I remember the theme song was "Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce, special sauce and don't forget us" or something like that.

    However, the favorite where I grew up was a McDonald's type burger joint called GINOS (They had the "Ginos Giant" in competition with McDonal's "Big Mac").

    How about Burger Chef? We had one in our small town back in ‘69. That and A&W were the only chain food places.

    Yep, I remember Burger Chef (used to confuse them with Burger King). They had the "Super Chef" or something like that - a Flying burger with a cape in their commercials. I may look it up on YouTube later to be sure.

    Yeah, BK was going pretty good in the 70s...I worked nights there for a year while in college.

    ...and the song went:

    "Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce, special orders don't upset us"



    Do you remember the 'subservient chicken'? Its an interactive chicken that BK put online a while back to promote their chicken sandwiches, it goes along with their 'have it your way' theme.

    Go ahead, type in a command and he'll probably do it.

    The only place I went before my teens was Dairy Queen in another town...Mom took me from time to time on Sunday.

    IN my mid to late teens a local FF place opened called Dairy Park....I think my first actual fast food place besides those was KFC when it came to my small town....

    Jack in the Box is still around in many places. We had them when I lived in Charlotte.
