Roller Skating Car Hops

Carhops were used in the United States for decades, adding a playful appeal to eating out. The first carhops appeared in the early 1920s. American Graffiti and Happy Days both depicted roller-skating car hops. Sonic® is the best-known fast food restaurant for having skating carhops, although not all Sonic locations have their carhops on skates.

Unique to Nebraska, which opened in 1991, Rock 'n' Roll Runza® made a splash as the corporation's largest restaurant. The 1950s theme was reflected inside and out with a jukebox-shaped drive through window and a neon guitar sign on P Street in Lincoln. Wait staff rolled around on quad roller skates, taking diners back in time. Rock 'n' Roll Runza® closed in 2006.
