    Any value in the brand? Seems to be a lot of nostalgia here.

    Maybe someone can snap it up for peanuts and transform it.

    maybe the original location, but the others for sure - no chance.

    It would be kind of cool if it could be bought and turned back into "Phil's", but I imagine there aren't THAT many people old enough to remember that and I'm not going to do it, so I doubt there would be a desire to do so.

    Ate at the Memorial City location once. Thought the nostalgia of it would have been cool, but there wasn't anything special about the place or food. And if I remember correctly, the service wasn't all that great.

    went on a date to the memorial location once with a chick that was really into that era. they allowed us to do a photoshoot in there, gave said chick a fingerbang in the parking lot. Great memories.

    I love the idea of a diner but the curly fries and shake was the only good.
