1. I wish there were some places that serve 'real' food like that around today.

All the chain casual dining restaurants serve the same menu, almost all burgers and chicken. There's not even a deli or old time diner where I live now. Cracker Barrel used to fill my need for 'real' food, but their quality has gone way down.

3. Don't get me started! 🤬

8. You can buy Isaly's chipped chopped ham and original BBQ sauce in the Pittsburgh area.

or online. they have a website.

They invented the Klondike bar!

all over the place in the Pittsburgh area. Every town had their Isaly's. I'll get back to you. From a quick glance they were close to PA/WV border. islays.com has recipes using there products

12. I don't remember eating meals there

But sometimes my mom would stop there with me and my sister if we were out shopping and she’d buy chipped chopped ham and if I bugged her enough she’d buy me a little box of vanilla fudge.

I don’t know why, but when we were kids my parents practically never took us out just for ice cream or a milkshake or anything like that.

Do they still sell all the same treats today? Do you ever go there, deb?

[debm55]

14. No but they sell Isaly's ice cream, klondicks, chippedchopped ham and the BBQ at the stores around

here. Odd, thing is most people think it is a Pittsburgh thing, it's not. It started in Mansfield, OH.

17. I remember two near me in NE Ohio

Being a kid, I thought they were only around here.

[debm55]

21. Check isalys.com for the food stores that the products.

[sinkingfeeling]

15. I grew up near Columbus, Ohio, and thought I remembered eating at a food counter in Isaly's.

But I could have confused that memory with a different place.

16. Look up isalys.com If you scroll down you will find the three locations in PA. Don't enter that

30. I remember the one in my hometown.

Monroeville, PA, in the Miracle Mile shopping center. Their cherry vanilla was still the best ever! Skyscraper cones!

18. Growing up in Ohio

just downriver from Pittsburgh, our town had an Isalys. Wow oh Wow, did we love that place. Those chipped ham sandwiches with a big dill pickle were the best in the world! On a hot summer day going in there for ice cream - what wonderful memories - a time when kids went all over the place with no fear of being shot or abducted. Half the time our parents never even knew where we were. I think we had an advantage growing up during that time that kids now will never experience. Thanks for the memories!

[debm55]

20. If you go to isalys.com you can order the products, new out is their ice cream

[Floyd R. Turbo]

25. Out at dawn, home at dark! 🤗

[Nittersing]

29. Our town had a volunteer fire department

and they would test the siren at 7pm every night. That also meant it was time to go home for who knows how many kids!
