| 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. |

| 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. |
