Closed Restaurants that you miss in Michigan? (what particular dish/food)?

As a child we often went out to eat. These are the places I miss and the food from these eateries. What places do you miss and what dishes? I might be dating myself w/ these answers (70's-80's)

Hudson's-Maurice salad, pumpkin muffins, popovers

Farrell's--Icecream sundae and all of the candy-dots on a paper and fruit flavored candy canes

Littly Buggy Family Restarant- Applesauce w/ the glass figurines on top

Sander's inside of Kresege's-grilled cheese, Sundaes's w/ sanders topping and creme puff

Kmart-Sandwiches that were prepared and put in a bag -you could buy a 1/2 sub or 5 round sandwiches in a bag.

Dino's Pizza/ Little Caesar (I no longer live in MI)

Shrimp Shack-fried shrimp

Top Hat- (Are they still in Business?)

Greene's Hamburgers (similar to bigger whit castle but more meat and onions)

Arthur Treachers (fish and chips -w/malt vinegar and ketchup)

Sander's the real "bumpy cake"-they make something similar now, German Chocolate cake and banana cake

Update:

Kresege's went out of business in the early 80's. They use to have lunch counters. I'm 39 so I can remember going 1974 up into the early 80's when they went under.

    I loved the KMart sandwiches! I miss those. And the Kresege's in Flint turned into a McCrory's, which is now out of business.

    You may be missing the experience of the above, because nearly all of the above food is still around.

    Macy's still sells Hudson's Maurice salads in their restaurants and in the counter deli area. They also sell the dressing bottled.

    Little Caesers is still around - how else would the Red Wings and Tigers still be around?

    Greeenes is still around.

    I don't ever recall Sanders being inside Kresge - Sanders had their own free standing stores.

    Hillers sells all Sanders' stuff - cream puffs, ice cream, topping, bumpy cake.

    Umm... Top Hat. I loved those little hamburgers. White Castle were always second best to me.

    Sanders. I loved those little stores and used to get strawberry sodas or a double chocolate sundae.

    Milroy's Fish and Chips.

    How about Cunninghams? They had a little soda counter where you could get sandwiches, coffee and ice cream.

    And Big Boy's when they had the car hops. I thought it was so cool that we could eat in the car, and you had those little trays that hung on the side of the door.
