This vintage collection of color photographs depicts over 100 of the original Sambos Pancake Houses.
By the late 70s there were over 1200 restaurants from coast to coast. 

Most of these restaurants were based on the original architecturally designed concept restaurants of the mid 60s.
From the first restaurant in Santa Barbara, opened in 1957, the Sambo's Restaurant concept spread
throughout the United States.



These exquisite architectural photographs were taken between 1964 and 1970.

Color exterior elevations and interior views of the bright decor depict
a bygone era of Sambo's unique restaurant design.

Sambos distinctive signs were also a part of the Americana landscape of the 60s and 70s.


Many of you have spent countless happy hours at the restaurants.

ten cent cups of coffee using your now collectable wooden nickels
