In 1926, Fred Angell, a respected butcher in Muscatine,
Iowa, combined a special blend and grind of the finest Midwestern ground beef with
a selected recipe of secret spices and created the one and only
Maid-Rite sandwich.
As legend goes, Mr. Angell asked a delivery man, at
his restaurant, to taste his newest sandwich creation.
After a few bites, the taster exclaimed, “You
know, Fred, this sandwich is just made right.” Thus
our signature sandwiches name was born.
Mrs. Angell, who loved to dabble in marketing, decided
that the sandwich indeed was made right. The Angells
created a restaurant and decided to franchise it,
one of the first restaurant franchises in the United States.
Mrs. Angell envisioned that a Maid-Rite Maiden
should grace the top of every Maid-Rite restaurant that they
franchised throughout the country. The Maiden became a popular
symbol representing delicious, wholesome diner-style food,
served with friendly hometown hospitality.
Maid-Rite Diners became all the rage and restaurant franchise history was made.
Maid-Rite has withstood the test of time for over 84 years.

From our humble beginnings of a restaurant owned by
a man with a dream of serving great tasting food, the
sandwich that was “TOO GOOD TO BE A PATTY”
was established. Maid-Rites are cooked in a delicious
special seasoning in our special cut of ground beef
and served on a fresh warm bun.
In addition to our signature Maid-Rite ground beef
sandwiches, our delicious menu also includes such popular
items as breaded Tender-Loins, BroasterŽ Chicken, French
fries, onion rings, soups, salads, home-style pie and Seattle's Best CoffeeŽ and pizza at selected locations.
Our Soft Serve and Blue Bunny Ice Cream Shoppes serve
delicious malts & shakes along with
classic sundaes. |
