That's pretty cool. I'll buy you a cone.

That's what happened to the one in Wickenburg, AZ. But the newest incarnation gets pretty bad reviews and people always comparing it to the TF it used to be under previous mgt.

peppy - the menu looked like they had everything - almost too many selections - but I did not see the 'Hula' burger listed?

Not sure I'm familiar Hula burger, but we do sell fried chicken livers and gizzards.

I ate at that one about a year ago and it was pretty good but I see on Yelp they got new management around the start of 2019 and the reviews went off a cliff. Did they drop the Tastee Freez altogether?

Nerd note - they had the last remaining TF sign featuring Tee & Eff (the Tastee Freez Twins.)

Yes that is the last Sambos. I seem to remember it is also the first one opened. I have a lot of memories of this Sambos (and The Habit) from when I went to UCSB almost forty years ago.

Back in the day - TF sold Hula- burgers. Basically similar to Big-Mac with thousand island & lettuce

The ones out west here used to offer the Big T Burger.

Yes ^^^ Big T as well in my locale....

Mmmmmm.....fried chicken livers...... a southern delicacy I truly miss😁

I have never been to a TF....or a DQ (still around) in years. Road trip :)!!!

I figured this is a good place to put this, sorry for the highjack.

After 50 year in tastee freez and 45 at the Crewe, VA location we are changing our name. All of the tastee freez in Va. are leaving the brand as of Dec. 20.

There are 4 location in virginia that will be using the same name.

In the 60's, my older sister worked at the local TF
Almost every night she would bring home frozen mistakes. (wrong orders, ingredients,etc)
I hated it when she quit!

Exactly,oh man! Rejoice thy youth. I remember that combo well. Good burger, shakes and those crinkle cut fries.

Fortunate to have two where I grew up. One at the corner of my street located in Van Nuys CA at Victory and Fulton. The second located at Woodman and Saticoy.

Wow. I have stopped at your place...pretty iconic in the town.

What is driving the change?

The national company has been leaving the franchised stores out of new promotions. Only the tastee freez/Wienerschnitzel co-branded stores were getting the new items. Our franchise holder for the state of Va has had enough and decided to retire, and there was an out in our franchise agreements that let us leave with no penalties and voided the non compete. It should be a plus for all involved.

The town east of here has a really old TF. About 5 years ago they built a new one next door with the intention of tearing down the old one. I guess they stay busy because they ended up working the new and the old every day.

Congrats on the new chapter! It's probably a great opportunity to try some things you've wanted to do for years now.

P.S. If you've got any old TF stuff that might get tossed let me know. I actually collect TF items. :)

Never tried TF, but have Dairy Queen locally . Peppy, good luck for your next chapter, may it last past the Grandchildren.
