Hall's Restaurant #2

Polaroid photograph of the now-closed Hall's Original Drive-In Restaurant next to the Quimby Village Shopping Center on Bluffton Road in Fort Wayne, Indiana. This is part of the main dining room, which was a semicircular structure on the front of the building.

The restaurant, opened in 1946, closed on December 23, 2021 after 75 years. It was the first restaurant opened by Don Hall. The Hall family still operates several other restaurants in Fort Wayne, New Haven, and Indianapolis.

In the 1950s and 1960s, it was a popular hangout for teenagers. In more recent years, Hall's mostly catered to older people.
