26. Rax Roast Beef
Rax Roast Beef has gone through several names over the restaurant chain’s history.
Originally Jax Roast Biff, and later Rix Roast Beef, Rax saw its largest period of success in the 1980s, when the introduction of salad bars and other food stations briefly made Rax one of the country’s more successful chains.
Mismanagement and other issues hurt the business in the early 1990s, and as of 2017 there are only a handful of Rax locations still in operation.
