wow… three years.

Anyway… no idea if this thread will get closed.  
The Burger Master chain in Montana.  
Best greasy burger joint ever. Also amazing milkshakes and coolers.

> Two long gone restuarants that I miss terrible are _G.D. Ritzy’s_. It was a hamburger joint (they were a small chain in my town )that had a 1950’s feel to it. They served Cherry Coke which was Coca-Cola with actual cherry syrup pumped into it. Their burgers were huge, crispy on the outer edge and juicy goodness on the inside. Man I miss that place. I never could figure out why they closed.

This.

[And they still exist.](http://www.ritzys.com/) Just not anywhere near me. Dammit.

Another chain that still exists, just not near where I live, is the excellent (at least at one time) [Zantigo’s](http://www.zantigo.com/). Oh. _My_. What I wouldn’t do for one of their green chili cheese chilitos again!

Another place I miss that went tits up some time ago is [York Steak House](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/York_Steak_House). To my twelve year old taste buds, the sautéed sirloin tips with onions and the puffy rolls they served were _divine_.
