Wow ! Mom used to take me to the red barn in Kent Ohio on Friday night then to Kmart to get a Hotwheel car
There's still an original Red Barn building in my area. It became a produce stand for a couple of local farmers soon after the restaurant closed. It's been well maintained over the years and still operates as a produce stand and Amish goods shop today.
Whereabouts is that?
The Big Barney burger was better than any other franchise burger around at the time, and their southern fried chicken was outstanding.
Agreed.
The best fast food restaurant around! I still miss it! They left the Buffalo, NY in 1977.
I worked at one in Buffalo from 1974-1976.
One of my first jobs was at Red Barn at South Colorado Blvd in Denver Colorado. Fry cook. Loved my job, even closing around midnight.
I just commented above how my parents moved from Dayton Ohio to north Denver to run the franchise across from the old Lakeside Mall. I was just a baby in 1964, but have early memories of that restaurant, until my father sold it and bought a snowmobile and motorcycle dealership.
As a kid growing up in Altoona, PA the Red Barn was my favorite place. I still sing the theme song: "When the hungeries hit, when the hungeries hit, hit the Red Barn"
My first apartment in Cleveland in 1972 had a Red Barn right around the corner from me on West 25th and Dennison. Since I didn’t know how to cook, I would have starved if it wasn’t for that place. The Big Barney combo was great.
I worked at Red Barn in Painesville, Ohio in 1974. My first job while still in School. OWE. Good memories. Good food. Thanks always wondered why they closed.
My 1st job was at a Red Barn restaurant on West Market street in Warren Ohio. My manager came from Painesville along with his wife, Glenn and Bev Barringer. What a wonderful learning experience and fond memories.
This video takes me back to when my family moved to Columbus Indiana when I was 6 years old. There were not a lot of fast food restaurants in Columbus in the mid 70’s, but the Red Barn was just down the street from our neighborhood. I can remember going there with my dad on Friday nights to get dinner for our family. Not sure when it went out of business, but it was eventually turned into an oil and lube change place, which it currently is today. Sure miss my childhood!
I had a Professor in a Marketing class pose this question many years ago: "What business is McDonald's REALLY in?" It stumped the class. His answer was "Real Estate". The secret to the McDonald's success in fast food was how it selected its sites. McD's exec's learned early on that competitors would simply wait for a new location to open and then build and operate a competing store as close to the Golden Arches as possible. Their response was to remain secretive about where they were opening new stores and then buying up adjacent properties to make sure they would end up anything BUT fast food restaurants. It was never about the food.
Well, that explains a lot, 'cause their food is awful.
In Napa CA, an In and Out and a McDonald's are walking distance apart on West Imola Ave. Both have been there for decades. Maybe the ghost of Ray Kroc is still working on this.
My first “official” job at age of 14. Loved it.
@rosaa As a Cherokee Indian and irish American you will not take this away from America. I understand what happened was horrible to my people but we have celebrated this Thanks for giving for years and we will not have this taken from us. What's next Christmas? I will never understand how people want to constantly bring racism up but then do things like this to divide us. We all bleed red no matter what color or race.
Wow, does this take me back. I’m from the Springfield area and certainly remember the original Red Barn. And of course the Bug Barney and the Barnbuster. The Levines were heavily into real estate and besides the Big Barn invested into retail (Gold Circle) and a Ramada that I eventually worked at. Sadly all of those businesses and many others in the Springfield area are just memories. But regardless, thanks for researching this and sharing.

The Ad's showing deals at the Elyria Red Barn really hit me; that is where I at at the Red Barn as I lived just up Rt.57 in Eastern Heights and our family ate ath the Red Barn on Friday Nights for many years from 1969-1972; I left for the Marine Corps the summer of 72 and never got t eat there but once or twice after that point. Good Memories.
So good to see a "neighbor" here in the comments. I too am from the Eastern Heights area in Elyria. I noticed the menu having Elyria's store which made my day! My mom would take my brother and me to Red Barn during the early 70s. Great memories.
I’m from Syracuse ny, born in 1960, and the local red barn restaurants sponsored all our little league baseball teams. I played for the red barn Erie Chiefs, the restaurant on Erie Blvd… they had a promotion where if you hit a home run you could stop in and get a free hamburger… I still have a picture somewhere of me in my red barn uniform from about 1968…
Cool beans Kevin. I'm sitting at work right now in Syracuse, watching this video. I lived in the Cortland ny area and went to that one a lot in my teens.
I loved the Red Barn as a kid. Every time I went to visit my grandmother, that was on the list of things we had to do.
If I may I suggest that red bard restaurant will have udi's gluten free burger buns, and dairy free cheese slices for the beef, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, bacon, and pickles, with ketchup, and mayo.
Still a building here in Erie PA...thanks for the memories!
Wow, there was a Red Barn sporting goods store in West Memphis Arkansas
were I bought my first handgun, that was 2007. The building looked just
like this restaurant, same design, logo and sign! I wonder if it was a
restaurant before a sporting goods store?
Was one of their guns called a Barn Buster?
There was one in Ottawa, Ontario around 1970. I always liked their food.
London ON as well
Toronto too. IIRC there was one on Islington just north of the 401.
@@johnnypenso9574 I think, not too sure, but I think there was one on Eglington in the east end. We had at least one in Windsor. It is now a McDonalds'. Red Barn was probably one of the first with modern fast take out and indoor seating.
There was a Red Barn on St. Laurent Blvd. and I think there was a Red Barn on Merivale Rd. also here in Ottawa, Ontario.
Im from Ottawa and I remember going there as a kid in the 70s.
I worked at The Red Barn in Sarnia Ontario Canada in the late 1960`s. Those were the GOOD OLD DAYS. Those times will never return.
As a kid , my mom would treat us to the red barn , hands down favorite. Maple hts. Ohio , maybe 1 mile from the southgate mall & our grandparents. ❤
This must be where the idea for Barney's Burger Barn, (Mel's diner's main competitor on Alice) came from..."🛎️" PICK-UP!!
There was a Red Barn right near one of our local drive-in theaters, when I was a kid. My parents & I would go there and load up on food, then sneak it into the drive-in, because the drive-in consession stand food was overpriced and not that good. Lol.

WTF are you talking about ?
Sounds like the Red Barn in Glenolden Pennsylvania.
It was right nex to the MacDade drive-in.
@@ZedAlfa. That's the one.
@@ZedAlfa. You have violated, our "Community Guidelines", for Hate Speech & "Inciting Violence", your account will be deleted & banned, thanks for playing baby boy.
I grew up in Cleveland, OH during the early 1970's and attended Ben Franklin School on Spring Valley Rd. We had a Red Barn right up the street on Broadview Ave which we used to frequent often with my late Granny. Thanks for bringing back a lot of great memories.
We had one here in Lima Ohio...remember eating there as a child. Mom and dad loved their fish sandwiches.
There's a remainder of a Red Barn in San Jose, CA, just around the corner from the gigantic Westfield Valley Fair Mall. The place sells hamburgers & such, and sometimes local classic car owners show off their cars in their parking lot.
Anyone remember the Red Barn on Broadway in Maple Hts (near Cleveland)? That was my go to...."When the Hungries Hit - Hit the Red Barn"!
I worked at a Red Barn in Denver on Colfax Avenue👎 one shift!
Had to pick up some supplies at your location for our opening on S Colorado Blvd.
Posting 11-28-21. Forgotten all about Red Barn for decades. Thanks so much for this!
our Red barn opened in 1971 in Belleville Ont Canada then in 1972 Mcdonalds opened and things changed and the Red BARN closed , but I loved the barn buster back then.
There were a few Red Barns in the Toronto, Canada area. The structure on Kingston Road in the east Toronto suburb of Scarborough is still there.
I use to go to anred barn back in the 70's located in Meadeville Pennsylvania I think it closed in the mid to late 70's good cheap food
Born in Ashtabula Ohio (Just East Of Cleveland). As a teen in the 70's the Red Barn was our Go-To place for burgers , really good food that rivaled any of the big chains , and later fried chicken was added to their menu . I reallllly loved their fried chicken.
I will never forget that big inviting barn shape that sat on Prospect avenue in Ashtabula. Just a short walk from my house when I wanted a cool milkshake on a hot summer day , or a warm chicken meal for the family on the weekend. I really Miss those restaurants . Another great chain I wish someone would mention was the Dog-N-Suds Restaurants. Another Iconic landmark in the North.
We had one in Rochester NY back in the 70s, what a treat to go there!
I KNEW I recognized it! I was just a little kid then. I still can't remember exactly where in town it was.
I had completely forgotten about Red Barn until I saw the thumbnail for this video.
@@peterbelanger4094 the one I went to in Rochester was actually in Gates by where the walmart is now
I remember Ridge Road.....dad would take us there on weekends, along with Carrols.
The Barn Buster! My all time favorite. I miss it a lot! I'm going back in time to have one, again. Who wants to come with me?!
We had a Red Barn inXenia, Ohio, I loved their fish sandwich as a kid, it was definitely a treat, not like today where everyone does fast food all the time.
I have fond memories of Red Barn!! I was a kid in the 70's & we often stopped & ate at the Steven Creek Blvd location(behind old Valleyfair Mall) in San Jose, Ca., after our Sunday drives. The buildings are still very much around. You showed a pic of the one on Story Rd. in San Jose, Ca., which now a Viet Rest. The other location of one is a Pakistani Restaurant in Fremont, Ca., I frequent, which is why I often remember them. If I'd known there was still one in Racine, Wi., still open as of 2020 with the same menu, I would have made a special trip during trips to Chicago'!
I worked at the Steven's Creek one in 1972. Owned by John Butruce. Nice guy. It was one of two in the area that somehow wasn't actually a franchise. We didn't honor the occasional Red Barn coupon printed in the newspaper. Wow, memories.

@@kthomas4434 I probably saw you there. I was snot-nose 6 year old kid in '72, hungry from the drive & hikes my dad was fond of. He loved the Redwoods so we spent a lot of time at Steven's Creek Reservoir, Vasona Park, Big Basin State Park, the Highland Games in Ben Lomond, rtc.. It rained more back then & everything was more verdant. My little sister wouldn't eat outside the home(not surprising, most people ate almost exclusively homecoming back then) except at Red Barn!! We went there for years & Swensens Ice Cream Parlor. Every now & then he'd switch it up & takes us to Frontier Village & O'Farrells at Eastridge Mall but for other than sweets Red Barn.
Used to be one in Sunnyvale also..My dad used to treat us to a barnbuster now and again..Corner El Camino and Sunnyvale-Saratoga...Big 5 sportsman there now I think... Good Times😎
Worked for Bob Nishimura at the Story Road Red Barn in 1971…$1.35/hour or so… White Shirt required…loved the chicken meal…😜
Every August in the 60's and 70's our family would go up to Erie on vacation for 2 weeks. The Red Barn was a place we would visit. I loved the burgers, fries and chocolate milkshakes! I really miss Red Barn.
My dad used to take our family to the Red Barn in Xenia Ohio back in the ‘60s, which by the way survived the infamous Xenia tornado of April 3, 1974.
I do recall the one in windsor ontario Canada. We would occasionally go there for dinner. We did enjoyed it.
We would stop at the Elyria Red Barn on our way to Sea World and Geauga Lake.
Remember going to one in Butler, PA in late 60's- early 70's and also Lewiston, PA in mid-late 70's.......
Of vourse, we had a lot of Red Barn restaurants here in Dayton Ohio area. There are still a few buildings standing- repurposed for other businesses.
I loved their food and prices!
One of my Favorites 💕
We had a Red Barn in Shillington PA until the early 80s. I loved it!
Lancaster Avenue!
@@kathymarinucci6054 yes!
Fond memories of the Red Barn in its heyday. One of the first places I stopped at after getting my driver's license many years ago was this area's, SE Pennsylvania, Red Barn. I preferred Red Barn's fried chicken to The Colonel's. So much for that. Our Red Barn was defunct by the early-'80s. The location I'm referring to was three business addresses away from this area's first McDonald's which was built in the late-'50s. Three business addresses in the other direction was a steak sandwich shop called Three Coins. The three coins were a nickel, dime and a quarter but you did get a very large steak sandwich for forty cents. Cheese was an extra nickel.
The Red Barn building is still there but has been extensively remodeled. It is now a take-out satellite location for one of this area's popular restaurants. Their claim to fame is their meatball sandwiches and chicken dinners.
My fiancée worked at Red Barn back in the early-'70s while we were still in school. One time she was on a class trip and the two buses stopped at Red Barn for their lunch. My fiancée put on an apron and helped whip-up the food ordered by sixty hungry people. She didn't recall whether or not she got paid for pitching-in to help but she proudly told me that her meal was 'on-the-house'.
I remember going to that restaurant as I kid on Saturday night with my family back then it was a a treat for eating home cooked meals
Red Barn sponsored my little league baseball team in the early 70's in Cleveland. I was a kid but as I recall the food was good.
We visited a few of them in Indiana, when we would visit my Grandmother's in Richmond. Great memories!
The Red Barn that used to be in Taylor, Michigan was turned into a place called Red Barron arcade. Great hangout in the early 90's as a kid.
I'm from akron I remember this chain . Used to go there with my mom and family
There is one operating in San Jose California as “Burger Barn” with all original fixtures and a menu very similar to the original the “barn buster” has just been renamed the “barn burger”
I loved the red barn as a kid, it was a treat! We live in Minnesota.
OMG - We use to sneak off and go to get lunch at the Red Barn on Cleveland's west side when we were in high school. We were not allowed to get into our cars at lunch time so we would always park our cars a couple of blocks away so for lunch, no teachers would see us getting into our cars. They had the best damn burgers in the world. Far better than McDonalds and Burger King.
Man did they have great chicken, fries, and "The Barnbuster" burger. Part of my childhood. A very good part.🍗🍔🍟...✌
This looks like my kinda place!
I loved the red barn!!!!
We had one in Sandusky, Ohio on Perkins Ave. I recall getting to tour the business when in Cub Scouts. Thanks for the memory. 73 DE W8LV BILL
We had one across from Lakeside Mall in Denver……..loved their hamburgers
Recollection Road We Had a Wonderful Red Barn Restaurant in Pottstown Pa Loved the Food, Gone but not forgotten
A few of these restaurants were opened in Canada. There was one next door to the high school that I attended. After the restaurant closed, it became a variety store for many years. Several years ago the variety store closed and today it is a Vietnamese restaurant.
I remember one of these places in Parma Ohio when I was a kid
Was it by Parmatown or Southland?
@@woodwaker1 closer to parmatown close to the Parma theatre but on Snow road by pearl road
@@stephenrichnafsky897 I grew up in Parma and Brookpark. Graduated from Midpark in 1969 and never went back except for visits.
Thank you for bringing back fun memories from the early 70's!
So cool to see my picture in this video. My first job (after a Detroit News paper route) and I worked there from 11/75 to about 4/78. Our location was called 8 East, and was on the north side of 8 Mile Rd, a couple blocks west of Ryan Rd, in Warren, Michigan. Worked with a lot of fun people and had a blast! The metro Detroit area stores were closed around May of 1978. Thanks for the memories.
That just made my day seeing my hometown's name on the menu. ❤ I have such fond memories from the early 1970s when my mom took my brother and me to Red Barn. They had the best chicken, too!! Thank you for sharing the memories. 😊
I always got a kick there was a Red Barn still doing business in Boulder long after I moved out back in the early 80s. It was the store's location is why it surprised me. Always liked the novelty of getting a drumstick with a burger vs fries, plus the shakes were really good too.
The Red Barn we had in Chicago Heights, Il was packed from day one. The food was delicious and my friends and I used to try and sneak there up the street from the high school we attended for lunch. It was difficult to get some burgers and eat before our 1/2 hr lunch break was up because it was so busy. I remember a rumor started and went around for the longest time that our Red Barn was the first to go up. This video brought some great memories back, thank you.
I had my very 1st fast food meal at a Red Barn. I was about 16. Turns out my hubs even worked there. Harrisburg PA
Granite City, Illinois had one on Madison Ave. across the street from the High School
I do remember seeing Red Barn ….. somewhere. But I don’t think I’ve ever been there.
Music is great. Sounds like Vince Guaualdi Trio..
📻🙂
I thought the same thing lol...Charlie Brown music
I believe the current Biscuitville shown is our original Red Barn on Wake Forest Rd in Raleigh, NC. First fast food I remember as a child. We moved to Raleigh in early 1968 and went there once a month or so. There was an early round Hardee's nearby (an NC company) but never ate there. Loved Red Barn. The architecture inside and out was more striking than McDonald's, and liked the food. Occasionally still drive thru the Biscuitville and remember the Red Barn fondly.
To this day you can line up 10 different Hamburg's and If one were the Red Barns style I would most definitely pick it out, God it was good, Red Barn back in the days in Brantford Ontario.....Was eventually turned into a furniture store ☹
Interesting! My parents are from Columbus Ohio. I was born in Ohio in 1964 and in August of that year, my parents moved us to Denver, where my father had purchased a Red Barn franchise. I have very early memories of that restaurant, across the street from the old Lakeside Mall and amusement park in north Denver. I did not realize the company was founded in Columbus and Dayton. But that certainly would explain my father's interest in moving west to the Rocky Mountains. This video stirred a lot of memories.
I was a store manager for Red Barn during the late 70's in the Akron / Cuyahoga Falls , Ohio area. The chicken was the favorite menu item at our store. So many great memories featured in this UA-cam channel.
I remember eating out at red barn restaurants in the early 1970s when I lived in Richmond Indiana.
There was a Red Barn in Martinsburg WV when I was a kid I'm 54 now it was awesome
My landlord's family (Ederer Real Estate Development) built the Red Barns in the Akron, Ohio area. At least two of the buildings still stand, on Kent Rd. (SR 59) in Stow, just east of Darrow Rd. (I believe it's now a veterinarian office), and in Akron on East Cuyahoga Falls Ave, (now a bar) at the southbound entrance ramp to SR 8, near the corporate offices of another Akron fast-food icon, Swenson's.
We had one in Corning NY. Don’t remember much about the food but it was a cool looking place. Went there often with my mother and brothers.
Not me, but my Mom she remembers the Red Barn, she said she loved there chicken.👍
Hi.. back around 1966,we had a red barn right in front of the Gratiot drive-in...Roseville, Michigan. There's still 3 or 4 of the iconic structures around the area that I point out to the Grandkids.
I grew up a block east of a Red Barn. About a block west of it was the neighborhood high school. The restaurant was torn down and replaced with an ugly concrete Walgreen's. Then the Walgreens built an even bigger new building two blocks north, and the site is now a Goodwill resale. I've spotted other former Red Barns making my rounds as a roving service technician, including one that's part of a local frozen custard chain, Oscar's at 2362 S. 108th St. Milwaukee, WI
There is one down the street from me in the heart of silicon valley San Jose it's a breakfast place now same building. Drove by it today
Here in Niagara Falls Canada on Victoria Ave, there is a Red Barn building that is now a convenience store.
I remember going there when it first opened . That building still looks like the red barn !
I worked for Red Barn for many years in Milwaukee, Dayton then Denver. Best job I've ever had. It was a shame what Motel 6 did to such a great company and a winning concept.
Loved this place and The Ponderosa
The local Cleveland that I worked at in high school is now a family restaurant.
AMAZING!!!! I LOVED this restaurant as a kid, and can immediately think of two locations in my area, though there were more. I loved the fried chicken sandwiches and cole slaw. Why does it seem that we had more shared pleasant experiences then than we do now? It pains me that Red Barn and Howard Johnson's are gone. Back then, it seems that there wasn't as much class system in the US as there is today.
There was a Red Barn in Tucson AZ on Craycroft near the AF Base. I used to go there after work and get a cheeseburger then sit in my car and listen to top 40 AM radio while I ate. This was around 1968-69. The building has been a Chinese Restaurant now for probably a decade. We used to call them "barnburgers" although that was not their official name.
I remember the Bradford PA Red Barn. We’d go there while camping in Allegany State Park. I think they had an ice cream bar too!
Wow you got me on this one I had a Red Barn in my hometown back when I was a kid I can remember going there with my parents I must not have been more than seven or eight because by the time the mid-70s came it was gone 👍
I ate at the red Barn as a child. There was one located in Fairfax Virginia. Didn't go there often but once in a while for a treat we would go there. Always got the big Barney I believe it was called. Too bad they're not around anymore.
Had one of these in Geneva, New York. I loved going here. I remember they had a giveaway of Battlestar Galactica iron-ons
Had one of these restaurants by my home growing up in the 1960s.
I worked at the Red Barn in Lincoln Knolls Plaza Youngstown, Ohio in the 70's wearing the overall skirt and a scarf
Great video. We had one of these in my neighborhood when I was growing up. It sat next door to a Dunkin Donuts and across the street from a White Castle. There was also a Jack in the Box nearby, a Burger Chef, and a Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour. So many fun memories at all of these places as a kid! The golden age of fast food! Affordable meals that kids loved. These places offered fun comfort food in environments that were family friendly. I miss piling into the back of the station wagon with my brothers and going to places like this.
Madison Hgts, Mi ?
Do you mean Mr Donut?
In the early 1970's I was a Sophomore in high school and I worked at the Red Barn in Fremont CA. Had so much fun working there and having parking lot chicken drumstick fights at night when we closed down. Thank's so much for sharing this video!
Great video on this t-givin' day🦃!!
Geneva, NY, near Seneca Lake.
Growing up I remember a Red Barn in either Cupertino or West San Jose on Saratoga Sunnyvale Rd. also known as Highway 9. This was the only one I ever went to. It closed sometime in the 1970s and became a Western clothes store. i remember another one by Valley Fair that seemed to stay open well into the 1980s, but I never went there.
Our branch in Laguna Beach still has the Silo and is red! Operates as "The Stand" on Thalia Street at PCH. Also I love the pan-asian Red Barn concept shown at 5:10 .. chicken wings I would think. Your narrator sounds like Michael Stern - good going!
#lagunabeach #thestand #naturalfood
Remember Red Barn back in the 70s here in Cleveland Ohio!
