Walgreens Luncheonette Menu 1950s

I might actually make the Peach Bloom Salad with buttered raisin toast!

That’s not a club sandwich.

Inspired by the Jon HAMM thread?

Im totally stoned right now and I think this menu sounds delightful!

I could go for the shrimp

No blacks allowed at the counter.

I miss these types of places.

It's just occurred to me I haven't seen a rye crisp in a while.

Does anyone garnish with radishes anymore?

Some Mexican restaurants, r9

The fresh fish special sounds appealing.

Remove the buttered raisin toast and coconut, and add a plain hamburger patty and a tomato slice and you have yourself a Diet Plate, OP.

I used to love going to the grill at Walgreen's in the late, great Crestwood Plaza in St. Louis. Also loved this new-fangled hamburger joint called McDonald's and it's rival, Henry's, both just up US Route 66 from Crestwood.

Someone put some effort into that.

I’m inclined to steer toward the “tasty” section.

Dutch Meat Plate

"Um, excuse me, this pickle is NOT "crisp" like the menu said it is. It's limp, just look at it. I need to speak to the Walgreens manager now, please."

I like how detailed they are with the descriptions. I love that about old advertisements too.

Today's lack of words seem like the world of Idiocracy.

I miss Chock Full O Nuts in Manhattan. I would accompany my father to the office on a Saturday and he would have me go there to get him some coffee and a piece of their poundcake and or dat nut bread with cream cheese. Even their plain donuts were good quality.

I detect an eldergay behind these elaborate descriptions.

Two things stand out: Tomato Juice as a first course, and they were always referred to as "French Fried Potatoes." Interesting how tastes change.

There's no turkey on the Club Sandwich!

by Anonymousreply 21August 1, 2025 8:54 PM

The "club sandwich " sounds mushy. No turkey or bacon, no texture.

Except for the Hollywood Salad Bowl, r17. Not a mention about contents.

by Anonymousreply 23August 1, 2025 9:43 PM

"charcuterie board" is another word for antipasto used by those who want to sound sophisticated.

by Anonymousreply 24August 1, 2025 9:49 PM

The salad bowl could be for any meal. Add an egg for breakfast or maybe some grilled chicken for dinner.
