Check out the Thomas Restaurant in Pryor, OK and its eye-catching sign atop the roof. This restaurant was built in 1952 and has been serving hot food to hungry travelers since. 05-06 UPDATE 06/06 : The longtime establishment Thomas Restaurant was destroyed on Thursday May 18, 2006 when a grease fire in the kitchen got out of control. According to KOTV.com, the fire could be seen for miles. KOTV also reports that the well known sign was salvaged. Word on the street is that the owner intends to rebuild. We hope so. Many thanks to Mark Erdwin for alert. 06-06

The current building pictured above is to come down Monday January 7, 2008. They took over "Madison's Pancake Place" at NW Expressway & Independence, and are now open 24 hours! However, the iconic pole sign by the street is going to be auctioned off The minimum bid, according to the auctioneer, was $10,000. Renee, Beverly's owner, was forced to move because the owners of the building are tearing it down. According to The Oklahomian, the old site will soon be home to Talbot's, the upscale women's clothing store. Many thanks to Mark Alfred for update. 02-08
Here's the Ox Yoke Inn, located in Amana, IA. The Ox Yoke is home to some great steaks. 10-08 UPDATE 12/08 : The Ox Yoke Inn sign was removed in September 2008 to comply with an Amana Colonies sign ordinance adopted in 1996 which forbids neon signs. The Ox Yoke Inn opened in 1940 and then moved to the current site of the restaurant in 1950, a circa 1856 building. The sign dates back to around 1950. 12-08
