Rax Roast Beef

Post here about the 1980's Roast Beef chain.  ;)

Didnt anyone else have these restaurants in their cities in the 1980's??

Apparently they're still around, but only in a few states. There was one in Merced, Ca, which is now a Carl's Jr. restaurant.

There are STILL Rax locations??  I had no idea.:o

There used to be one in my hometown.  The company sold alot of their company owned restaurants in the late-90's.  They still have their website and restaurants: www.rax-online.com

Here is the old Rax in Merced I mentioned previously.

Isn't that a Hardees logo? One local rax was tore down and became a bank, while another became an indian restaurant. The only rax that still is in operation is located in Ironton, Ohio.

Well, when CKE (parent company of Carl's Jr.) bought Hardee's they changed Hardee's logo to the same one Carl's Jr. uses. They changed a lot of other things, so now Hardee's is basically a Carl's Jr. under another name. I don't know if they took over any other Rax locations besides this one, though...

Both of our former Rax restaurants became Fazoli's Italian restaurants.
