Rax Restaurant

Reviews & Tips

  I used to have a Rax Roast Beef Restaurant near me growing up in the eighties and enjoyed it. I even remember eating at one as late as the nineties that still felt like the Rax I remember.
  
  I was pretty disappointed with this Rax restaurant. It almost feels like they're using the remnants of the Rax Restaurant and the menu, while adding their own items to the menu.
  
  I ordered the BBC, it was okay, but a little on the small side. The curly fries were good, comparable to Arby's or Hardee's.
  
  Another reviewer mentioned that a local person owns it and gives back to the community, I wish him the best of the luck... but it's not the Rax I remember as a kid.

  Not what i remembered.  Rax was a great roast beef shop back in the day withthe BBC and the mushroom melt.  This store is not quite as good, but their are some things that remind you of the gold old days.  It's not really wortha  special trip but if you're going by Anderson and remember what rax was it's worth stopping by.

  Ok, this place is locally owned and operated and still remains a lunchtime staple.  Try the BBC....yummy!  I also like the fact that the owner, Perry Knox, gets involved in the community so this is more than a chain run by a corporation.  This is one of my favorite spots.

  Rax has a great tenderloin sandwich.  It's nothing fancy, but it's delicious.  You should definitely stop in a visit this restaurant.  It's located right next to the police department and gets lots of traffic from downtown business people.
  
  There is only one Rax, so stop by and give it a try.

  A Rax haiku:
  
  One Rax in the state
  Thank you, Anderson, but no
  Weekend hours sucks.
  
  (Seriously, this place is only open Monday through Friday, 10-5, so don't go thinking you're going to take a big caravan of Rax-lovin' people on a Saturday afternoon to the Anderson Rax, because you'll be left standing in the parking lot cursing the powers that be. I speak from personal experience.)

  Anderson doesn't have much going for it besides the Nile, but they can at least claim a rogue, independent Rax.  Backed with no corporate support, this is the little roast beef that wouldn't roll over.
  
  Remember those Uncle Gator cups and promo tchochkies?  Anderson Rax has a sad museum of all that shit, as well as some non-Rax collections.  
  
  The food is ok.  I barely remember the chain before it merged with the ill-fated Green Burrito.  But hell, if you're reading a review of an orphan Rax, you're into the sad, weird comedy that Anderson and the rest of the midwest is rich with.
