sprig Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Anyone ever tried King Leo's? Can't say that I have.http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/business/3646654-around-town-king-leos-plans-return-grand-forksFirst appeared in Minot/GF in the 60s, was gone by the mid 70s. McDs like, used to get the big leo (big mac like) on Sundays for 19 cents in the early 70s. Don't believe it was very good but it was cheap Quote
dmksioux Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 From what I've found, sounds like they were a drive in. Wonder if they are planning to do a drive in with the new restaurants? Quote
sprig Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 From what I've found, sounds like they were a drive in. Wonder if they are planning to do a drive in with the new restaurants? not a traditional drive in, don't think they ever had a drive through either. Walk in, get your burger and fries at the counter, and carry out. There were a couple tables/booths inside to sit but not many. Obviously have to be old to remember this place, maybe old enough so you can barely remember Quote

Henry's was torn down down to make way for Sambo's and King Leo's replaced by Burger King. Sambo's is now Gramma Butterwicks. Quote
sprig Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Where was that in Minot? It was on the west side of Broadway, maybe about where arbys is now or thereabouts. My first intro to fast food burgers as a kid Quote

SiouxVolley Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 I remember Auto Dine being on Gateway just west of Washington. Did King Leo's preceed that? The location went through several iterations. As a kid, I thought the King Leo's logo was so cool. Wasn't Auto Dine the former A&W Drive In? Quote

SiouxVolley Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Auto Dine was on south side of Gateway. A and W was on the north side and further west. Almost positive there was a King Leo's there first. Lived in the Riverside neighborhood and drove by it a lot. Quote
Oxbow6 Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 I remember eating at a Sambo's in CA as a kid on vacation. My mom talks about the 5¢ burgers from Leo's when she was growing up. Quote

I did an image search for Auto Dine on Google and found this It looks like Crown Motor Co., across from GF Welding, now occupies the odd shaped building that was once Auto Dine. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Crown+Motor+Co/@47.932854,-97.053925,146m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x52c6814d7a7de73d:0x851866781898cd13 Quote
GeauxSioux Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 I found a couple of links to King Leo's ..... http://www.centralhighfargo58.org/andi20070505.htm King Leo's is believed to be Fargo's first drive-in restaurant. It was founded by Leon Latz of Rochester, Minn., for whom it was named, and his brother, Bruce Latz, who moved from Grand Rapids, Minn., to Fargo to start the business here. It opened on Dec. 1, 1960, at 1833 S. University Drive. Burgers were 15 cents, cheeseburgers 19 cents and fries, malts and sodas completed the menu. At one time, King Leo's had restaurants in Rochester, Minn., Minot and Grand Forks, all operated by Leon Latz. They shut down before the Fargo store, which stayed open until 1978. including a picture.. http://www.alltravels.com/united-states/north-dakota/grand-forks/photos/current-photo-33817910 Quote
