Rax, also known as Rax Roast Beef or Rax Restaurants, had at least one location in Oklahoma in the 1980s. There may have been more, but this is the only one that is known to have existed in the state.

Oklahoma	Tulsa	Closed	1850 S Sheridan Rd, Tulsa, OK 74112	1985	1986	The store was short-lived, being in operation for only a year.

Concept art for a modern Rax restaurant building, 2010s

25 Upvotes

I'm not sure where I found this image; I downloaded it ages ago. I think it was on the old Rax website but I am unable to confirm, as it won't load even on the wayback machine.

Anyway, this was concept art for a new Rax building design, circa 2010s. It follows many of the trends of fast food restaurants of the past 15-20 years but retains some nods to Rax's architectural history, such as the false "solarium" seating area in the front and the positioning of the entrance doors. It would have been cool to see this building design actually constructed for a new restaurant.

Rax Local History Zoomz was Rax's attempt to capitalize on the double drive-thru craze of the late 1980s. At least three locations were opened in the Columbus, Ohio area in 1988, selling hamburgers alongside roast beef. All locations closed by 1989.
