Carver's

I believe these Carver's restaurants were originally Tastee-Freez Big T locations.

Big T Family Restaurant
Milton, FL
Tastee-Freez
Laurel, DE
This Milton location still uses the Big T name although locals refer to it as simply the Tastee-Freez.

This Laurel location is the last surviving Tastee-Freez in Delaware. It was built as a walk-up in the 1950s. This roof and dining room were added in the 1970s. [photo thanks Glenn Van Fleet]

There was a Big T Tastee-Freez in Laurel, MD which is gone now. That location was built around an old McDonald's building (note the sides of the buildings). For more, see these websites: 1, 2, and 3. The examples shown here have two or three vertical grooves in the roof. The Laurel, MD location had five grooves. I believe all of the locations built in this style were called "Big T"s. If you come across any more examples of these buildings, I'd love to know about them.

Esposito's
Fairfax, VA
Ross's Family Restaurant & Ice Cream
Sunbury, PA
Esposito's Pizza'n Pasta restaurant appears to inhabit a former Tastee-Freez. Note that this building has four grooves. Esposito's has apparently been here since 1982.

Ross's Family Restaurant & Ice Cream appears to be another former Tastee-Freez. There are three roof grooves on the side and two grooves on the front. The roof was painted yellow back in 2008. For more, see this website.

former Tastee-Freez
Huntington Beach, CA
I have only seen these Tastee-Freez buildings in CA and OR. It seemed to be an attempt to branch out in a more serious way beyond ice cream. This building is now home to Joe's Deli, a Chinese take-out stand.

The first Portland Tastee-Freez building shown above has been slightly adapted for use as a Dairy Queen. I believe it has been a Dairy Queen since the 1970s.

The third Portland Tastee-Freez above is now Big Daddy's BBQ.

This Pomona Tastee-Freez is now Bamboo Express. The original sign has adapted the lettering.

The Oinkster occupies another former Tastee-Freez. I believe the enclosed dining area was added when this place was a Jim's Burgers.
