We were ahead of our time when we developed one of the first drive-up, walk-up windows for customer convenience. Our philosophy of doing whatever it takes for our customer’s satisfaction in serving great tasting made to order food at an affordable price in a friendly environment of hometown hospitality has always been the cornerstone of Maid-Rite’s customer service philosophy. A retro americana classic diner restaurant, Maid-Rite Diners have iconic status throughtout the Greater Midwest. Customers enjoy delicious, made to order, wholesome real food in an upbeat Americana fast casual classic upscale diner.
Unique Loose Meat Sandwich
In 1926, Fred Angell, a respected butcher in Muscatine, Iowa, combined a special blend and grind of meat with a selected recipe of 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. Maid-Rite has withstood the test of time for over 81 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, Broaster® Chicken, French fries, onion rings, soups, salads, home-style pie and Seattle's Best Coffee®. Our Blue Bunny Ice Cream Shoppes serve hand dipped hard packed malts & shakes along with classic sundaes.

Tradition of Owner/Operators
Our franchisee tradition that started back in 1926 has been to have individual owner/operators who are well known and well liked within their communities, who take pride in owning and operating a successful Maid-Rite franchise restaurant. This business philosophy has and always will be the backbone of our franchisee network.
Many of our original franchises granted in the 1920s are still in operation today. We are proud to say that we now have third generation family members operating family owned Maid-Rites.

A Godfather's Pizza isn't like any other pizza you've ever had before. We make pizza the way it was meant to be - with an incredible crust, delicious veggies, hearty meats, and a ton of 100% real cheese.
The best part is, at Godfather's Pizza you're the boss. First, you choose from our thick, rich, original crust, our buttery, pan-style golden crust, or our light and crispy thin crust. Then you tell us what veggies and meats to pile on, and we'll take it from there and smother the whole thing with 100% real cheese for a pizza that's absolutely irresistible!
