Iconic Restaurant Chains That No Longer Exist, Do You Remember Them?

19. Druther’s

Druther’s, also known as Burger Queen, was a chain of restaurants that operated between 1963-1981. Based in Louisville, Kentucky, the burger/fried-chicken joint’s mascot was a giant bee named Queenie Bee. Another of the company’s characters, Andy Dandytale, was targeted at kids.

In the spirit of old-school slogans, the restaurant’s motto was, “I’d Ruther Go to Druther’s Restaurant.”

Though the chain is long defunct, one Druther’s remains in Campbellsville, Kentucky.
