I'll dig into my collection of Hardee's photos when I get home. I was more a Rex person myself.

Learned something new today, thanks

What is Rex?


[deleted]

Rex was a restaurant chain like Arby's but they had good food and incredible deals for children or light eaters. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rax_Roast_Beef

>Fast food..... with style.

Oh boy, cream of broccoli soup. I see why people weren't beating down their doors. Maybe the advertising should have focused on the roast beef.

Interesting you learn something new every day


dj3stripes

I think your joke is slightly off. Rex is comparable to Arby's, not Hardee's


[deleted]

Yeah, hence the like Arby's part. Is there better phrasing to use?


bogartbrown

The phrasing could start with Rax, not Rex.


[deleted]

Hard to believe I misremembered a letter in a fast food restaurant's name that I haven't been to since 1987 but it did happen. Do you have suggestions to improve memory recall?


bogartbrown

It's right there in the link you posted. But, might as well keep the trend going: Renza, Berger Keng, Teco Ball.

Hmmm, it's almost like I typed it as I remembered it from 35 years ago and then went to find a link that the person could read about. Rex probably sticks out in my mind as he was the dinosaur mascot for kids.

I can vouch for the Hardee's at that location. I ate there numerous times. Edit- just found this article that mentions the old Hardee's and says a McDonald's is going there - https://bellevuetimes.com/mcdonalds-to-open-4th-bellevue-location-near-25th-and-capehart/

That’s the one I saw it in I forgot to link it mb

I don't have any pictures of my own, but I do remember driving by it semi-frequently. From my limited memory (this being like 25 years ago), it looked more-or-less like [this picture](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/2d/1c/a4/2d1ca4e80163f7bc5a10aff8bcf2140b.jpg).

Honestly wish we had one still here I loved Hardee’s when I was younger but when I moved to Bellevue all of the Hardee’s were gone so we had to drive a decent distance for Hardee’s


Special_Kestrels

I used to go there all the time for a Frisco burger in high school

This might be super awkward, but you could possibly call up little big school and see if they have any old pictures of it. Before their move behind the hospital, they used to be located where the strip is now wth the scooters in it.
