Griff's Hamburgers , or Griff's Burger Bar , is a regional fast food chain founded in 1960 by Griff's of America, Inc. from Kansas City, Missouri, United States. At one time they had a national location with a majority near a highway near the South.
Griff was named for the founder, Harold Griffin.
The restaurant buildings are a patented A-frame design, produced by Valentine Diners from Wichita, Kansas. Then the restaurants have a more conventional architecture. A bright yellow sign reads HAMBURGERS in the capital of the big block. The restaurant offered a good drive-thrus and patio dining.
Most stores are located in high traffic locations, such as near off-road highways, or along Route 66. There is one on the corner of Caruthers and Independence in Cape Girardeau, Missouri in the 1960s, a cornerstone of the old Central High School.
The corporate headquarters for Griff's of America is now in Dallas, Texas, and stores remain open in Bossier City, Ruston and Shreveport, Louisiana; Albuquerque, New Mexico; and Dallas, Fort Worth, Haltom City, Garland, Irving, Mesquite, and San Antonio, Texas. A location in Sedalia, Missouri closes at the end of 2011, and locations in Colorado are closed by 2015. [1]
The restaurant chain is featured in several installments of the Zippy the Pinhead comic strip; on November 15, 2004, February 10, 2005 December 19, 2006 and September 2, 2007.
