Hungry but with a sweet tooth to boot?
Then stop at the Sugar Bowl Restaurant in Des Plaines, Illinois
and cool off with a bowl of ice cream in an air conditioned shop. The
sign itself is worth a stop too. It has been up at the Sugar Bowl site since 1957. See more at the Sugar Bowl website.
UPDATE 11/09 : Here's another shot of the Sugar Bowl Restaurant marquee in Des Plaines taken on a snowy day. Many thanks to Tammy Terwelp for photo update. 11-09

Here's the Denver Grill in Tulsa, OK. This roadside
delight is just days away from being bulldozed for a new arena. Although
the food is not the greatest, the history of this restaurant, dating back
to 1933, is something else.
Also of note is the colorful marquee that looks like a firework shooting off into the night sky.

The marquee for Phil's Bar-B-Q was recently refurbished and painted. The little piggy face of the character holding the sign is now much more prominent. 12-05
