Red Barn
1961–1988
“Fast food in a big red barn.”
Restaurants
You couldn't miss it — the building was shaped like an actual red barn. Home of the Big Barney and the Barnbuster, it was one of the first fast-food chains with a self-serve salad bar (the "Farmyard Salad Bar"). Corporate owners let it wither, and the franchise had largely vanished by the late 1980s.
