Joe’s Crab Shack
This informal seafood spot specializes in huge buckets of crab, stuffed shrimp, and a ton of other comfort dishes. Joe’s Crab Shack was absolutely adored, however, it may have been due to their competition with other seafood restaurants like Bubba Gump that made customers not as keen on the chain. The company had to file for bankruptcy in 2017 which led to the closure of 41 branches. More locations are expected to close this year but there are 58 locations still working.

Howard Johnson’s
Howard Johnson’s was adored by everyone for their fried clam as well as the 28 flavors of ice cream they specialize in. There used to be more than 1,000 roadside branches n the ’60s and ’70s. Founded in 1925, Howard Johnson’s is now holding on with everything they have left but the New York restaurant has unfortunately closed its last branch.
