Vintage Fast Food Restaurants That You Are Definitely Missing

11. Horn & Hardart

Horn & Hardart’s was ahead of its time as it offered automation to a degree that you wouldn’t have deemed possible. As the ultimate fast food joint, you merely walked up to a giant machine before inserting enough change to make your purchase. Your food was made fresh and pushed through a small glass window. Despite being one of the first ‘automats’ in the world, Horn & Hardart would be out of business by 1991. Now, this style of restaurant is all over Europe and Japan.
