Morrison's Cafeteria. I have always hated that they went out of business.

Piccadilly/Morrison's. They're still open in several locations but a lot of them have closed down in the past ten-fifteen years. They have really good food!

I loved Farrell's too. There was one near my grandparents. You could get a huge, huge sundae like in the scene from Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure.

The third one, that comes to my mind is Il Porto, in oldtown Alexandria, Va.
Il Porto is still there -- or was January a year ago. I had dinner there.

I was recommending places for friends to eat when the did DC last summer and I could sware Il Porto was out of business. That is good news. How did you like it? We had our son's rehersal party there ages ago. It was the first place we ate at when we moved to Alex in 1981 and i think I kept them in business from then until we left in 1988.

Defunct in San Antonio,TX not sure of the rest of the country: Bonanza. The steaks were not prime, but they were good considering the price. They also has an awesome salad bar.
