NEBA Roast Beef (1965 advertisement) |
|
The NEBA Roast Beef chain was founded in the mid-1960s. The chain was an offshot of Mike's Submarines. It is widely reported that NEBA stood for "Nicest Eating Beef Around." However, the name actually came from a dog that founder Mike Davis owned. There are not any operating locations left but there are a few fairly intact buildings. If you have more info about the chain or know of any other existing buildings, I'd love to hear from you. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2.

This former NEBA Roast Beef opened in the mid-1960s. When these photos were taken in 2009, it was occupied by a Papa Johns pizza restaurant. Papa Johns moved out in 2013 and, by 2014, this building was demolished. There are reports of at least a couple locations in Miami, FL but I don't believe those buildings still exist.
