You are right. It was a Burger Chef. When Wallie was in the front of building I was starting to think Burger Chef. When I saw the roof yep it was a Burger Chef.
Hey wallie, I love watching your channel and I’ve been paying attention to places near me that are abandoned, within 20 minutes of my house is an abandoned hooters, Pizza Hut, Boston market, Payless, Sears, and a Sam’s club, as well as a repurposed Lowe’s and Kmart that you can tell were not always what they currently are, im sure im missing more, if you’re ever looking for a new place for content, the capital of Michigan has tons!
Very nice video something you don’t see every day. Hey wallie I was at the mall of Monroe in Monroe Michigan. And there was abandoned Target which was a former hills department store. Target closed in 2015. Then there was a Sears that closed in 2011. Then Taco Bell. Hallmark and more. I hope you have a chance your self to go film the mall. I posted some pictures of the mall on my instagram page. Just an fyi. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video like always.
Used to go there a lot with my parents back in the early-mid 90's. There used to be a shuffleboard table along the western wall that my sister and I would play around on.
I have a pond a pretty nice size one that one small but nice and the fish if your wondering are called Red comets very hardy fish and my fish eat bugs and what not I do feed them pond stick pellets but they just stay out there in the winter freeze solid then thaw out when it gits warm like nothing happened fish do not have feelings they will freeze solid and then start swimming again when warmed up crazy ain't it...
I don’t really get the chance to travel like I’d like too so your videos show me all sorts of stuff! Not to mention your great commentary! I love yer videos 😁
Nice Wally- don’t ever change your outro by the way.. it’s signature 🤙but hey, if you are looking to expand material, maybe consider going into an open restaurant and doing a review? Cheers Wally 🎉
when i was still in high school i worked at a golf course and they had a pond like that , never did feed them and the fish lived from year to year , i guess eating bugs that might fall in the pond...come on Wallie, there's always room for Big Boy ...😀
I'm 54 and this has always been Brownstone Tavern since I was a kid. I'm reasonably sure it originally was a Burger Chef back when they were still around.
Been watching since around the time you walked in the front door of that payless shortly after they all closed... Thought you were gonna wet yourself...lol
My dad knew the owner.He had the business for many years and wanted to retire.Sold to some people with not much restaurant experience, they lasted just a short time.
They had the best burgers in town until about 2 years before Dale sold it. He changed his meat vendor and the bun and that ruined his burgers. We stopped going there then.
My grandma Nancy worked there for a long time until she retired. She unfortunately passed a couple of years ago. If you went here and remember a waitress named Nancy please leave a comment I would like to hear.
Wallie, I think that you just stumbled across an old Burger Chef. I was starting to think that when I saw the front. It was when I saw the the roof I was sure.They were the one that created the flame broiler. Burger Chef was second in size to McDonald's. Hardee's/Carl Juniors bought them out. They hold all the rights to Burger Chef products. The ones in the Phoenix area They closed. At that time, Hardee's was here. No more Hardee's now Carl Juniors. I only know of two Burger Chef buildings here in Phoenix Arizona that are still around. Both have been repurposed. There's one about two miles from me. It's a chiropractor office.
I unfortunately predict that this restaurant will be demolished rather than repurposed. If my prediction is correct, then I will be a bit sad because I like that architecture.
I enjoyed it toledo is my hometown.l moved my family away.in 1992. When things started going down hill but it looks like its turned itself around.
3:21 those vents look like burger chef.
You are right. It was a Burger Chef. When Wallie was in the front of building I was starting to think Burger Chef. When I saw the roof yep it was a Burger Chef.
It was a Frisch's Big Boy originally before they built the new one next door
I'm a Big fan for Abandoned Places I Watched of lots of videos your Awesome Wallie
thanks for sharing this video wallie thanks again :D
I look forward to your videos Wallie please keep them coming as long as you can
Those dive bars usually have the best food too.
We loyya brotha....
Also, was there another Frisch’s Big Boy in Toledo? I believe it is on Central Avenue?
Abandoned Sporting Goods Store across the same parking lot in Toledo Ohio.
Dick's Sporting Goods. Before that, it was a Builder's Square hardware type of store until the late 90's.
The abandoned Dicks is going to become a Michaels soon.
They started developing in that plaza now.
You are doing a fantastic job keep going I can’t wait for the next video 😊
You know it's always good when wallie uploads 💯

That’s true. I live in Michigan I see abandoned buildings about every day.
Man that place was there literally for decades! I do not, however, remember the pond nor the fish.

There's also an old abandoned Kmart near there as well. As far as I know, unless another business took over.
Yes I think it’s a storage unit
It closed due to owners retiring,last I heard it's supposed to be torn down and a Culver's is rumored to be built there.
Nice shirt Wallie and awesome video.😎✌️📸
Thank you! My favourite band ever! 🤘🤘
I ate at that Big Boy on Reynolds road in Maumee several times.
Hopefully the locals will feed the fish 🐟 !
I wish you could hit that 100k button as no one deserves it more!!!

This place has the best French onion soup I’ve ever had.
I live right down the street off of Bennett

Look at the front where it says Ames real big. L o l I love that
My local Rite-Aid Is closing on May 16th.

Parsippany NJ 480 North beverwyck road
Bro the french onion soup at the brownstone was the best. Cant find any anywhere thats even close.
No lie I haven't had anything like it.
Wallie you deserve 100K. Hopefully it will happen soon!
Thank you for a great video I live in Charleston Wv is where the first big boy opened
Yeah I noticed that there was an Max office they went bankruptthey all closing
Only time I went in there to eat was with my Grandma who is now passed away I didn't know it was abandoned. Why are they all abandoned now😭
I don’t really get the chance to travel like I’d like too so your videos show me all sorts of stuff! Not to mention your great commentary! I love yer videos 😁
I think that might have been a Burger Chef
Their last Facebook post was May 27, 2022. So sometime around then I would assume they closed.
Looks kinda like a NEBA Roast Beef Restaurant!
A bit of research - Facebook page is still up. Looks like the place closed sometime in 2022. The food looks great. Mmmmm, prime rib.
Nice Wally- don’t ever change your outro by the way.. it’s signature 🤙but hey, if you are looking to expand material, maybe consider going into an open restaurant and doing a review? Cheers Wally 🎉
It is OK
i need to get you to vermillion! and the chill train depot over by me built for watching the trains!
I’m from Toledo, I used to eat here with my family as a kid! Greta food great service very sad to see it like this:;

Always wondered if anyone who watched one of your abandoned videos,redone one of the businesses?
No wally thank you for the video's i'm trying my hand at youtube now

When Dale and his Dad owned the place, the food was so good!
I’ve eaten there a couple of times. They had good hamburgers. Not sure what it was before, but Brownstone was there for a long time!
Are you still in the Toledo area? I have a few spots of interest.
My grandma Nancy worked there for a long time until she retired. She unfortunately passed a couple of years ago. If you went here and remember a waitress named Nancy please leave a comment I would like to hear.
It looks kind of Bonanza or Sizzlin steak house like !
I bet Brownstone was good place to eat and have a beer and hang out.
Hopefully someone can save that pair of Fasco Charlestons!
Please do a video where you eat at Big Boy!!!❤❤❤
You should do a Big Boy vlog while your out in Toledo. That would be cool

Good video! I hope someone is feeding those fish!
100k would be a great subscriber count. If you make it, you will have earned it making these videos.
Decent chance someone dumped those fish in there.
Please Film the Abandoned Quaker Steak & Lube in Sheffield Village Ohio and the Abandoned Boston Market in North Olmsted Ohio
It’s on Horne Rd/St
I unfortunately predict that this restaurant will be demolished rather than repurposed. If my prediction is correct, then I will be a bit sad because I like that architecture.
Somehow I'm getting vibes that this could have been a Pizza Hut in a past life
Oh there is a WellMed in corpus in TX it closed recently. But yeah bye❤
