The Roy Rogers restaurant in Cincinnati, Ohio (photos)

While driving through Cincinnati on Labor Day, I came across a place I had always wanted to go. No, not the WKRP studios. A "Roy Rogers" fast food place (check out their website) I guess I'm a sucker for a fast food place named after a cultural icon.




Watch my amateurish travel log here:

(3 minutes long)

I've known about these places for years but have never been to one nor seen one.  They are mostly in the south. I think Ohio is one of the few Midwestern states with one.



I first saw the bare parking lot and dark interior. "Oh, no", I thought, "the place must had gone out of business". But to my relief they were just closed for the day. I could not resist taking a peek inside.



Thought I wasn't expecting Planet Hollywood-type costumes or props, I was happy to see the interior walls of the dining room adorned with some photos of Roy, Dale, and friends. I bet alot of kids sat in there asking their moms and dads, "Who's Roy Rogers?"





Time to get back on the road. I've got another 4 -1/2 hours to go until I'm back home...
