MYSTERY ROUND

Restaurant Fails

I'll ask about restaurants that we once very popular and now are not.

For example, if the clue is Founded 1985. 120 locations in 1998. A man's name. The menu featured Tex-Mex items, made-from-scratch salsa, tortillas and sauces, and a range of other Mexican specialties.
You would answer Don Pablo's

Founded 1969. More than 800 locations in the late 70s. One location still open (as of 2021). Known for fish and chips. Named after an actor.

Founded 1991 by a musician and a former KY Gov that had invested in KFC in its early days. Over 350 locations in the mid 90s. No US restaurants now.

Founded 1976. Irish pub-themed American casual dining restaurant, aka a "fern bar." Almost 300 locations - most closed shortly after 2008. 11 US locations remain (as of 2018)

Founded 1975. 210 locations in 1995. Slogans were \'A celebration of food\' and, later, \'Life always needs a little salsa.\' No US restaurants now. 2003 hit with the largest hepatitis A outbreak in U.S. history.

Founded 1966. 280 locations in the 80s. Popular menu items included the signature herb-roasted prime rib, Kensington club, New York strip, filet mignon, Hawaiian chicken, and spicy grilled chicken pasta.
