Who remember's the restaurant called "MR.QUICK" on RTE 53?

I remember in the summer time Carole, Shanda, my sister and me would go there cause we had the munchies. I always ordered a Gyro w/extra sauce & tomato, large onion ring and a vanilla shake. They the best beef's in b'brook. It's now called Family Square Restaurant.

Awesome greasy fast food before Family Square. I might have an article about it somewhere in the archives.; ▶ Reply to This

We'd look behind the counter where the cups were, where they made the fries, etc. It was definitely the only game in town when I was really little!; ▶ Reply to This
