Maid-Rite


Maid-Rite is a casual dining franchise restaurant chain that originated in the United States. The chain was established in 1926 by Fred Angell, who combined a special cut and grind of meat with selected spices to create the Maid-Rite sandwich, which has become a signature item on the menu.

The name "Maid-Rite" is a play on the phrase "made right," indicating the company's commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. The chain is known for its loose meat sandwiches, often referred to as "Maid-Rites."

History[edit | edit source]

Fred Angell, a butcher from Muscatine, Iowa, created the original Maid-Rite sandwich in 1926. He combined a special cut and grind of meat with a select blend of spices, creating a sandwich that was "made right," hence the name of the franchise. The first Maid-Rite restaurant was a small brick building in Muscatine.

Menu[edit | edit source]

The Maid-Rite menu primarily consists of the Maid-Rite sandwich, a loose meat sandwich made from ground beef. The sandwich is typically served on a warm bun, and customers can customize it with a variety of toppings, including mustard, onions, pickles, and cheese.

In addition to the signature Maid-Rite sandwich, the menu also includes other items such as shakes, malts, ice cream, and a variety of side dishes.

Franchise[edit | edit source]

The Maid-Rite franchise has expanded significantly since its inception in 1926. Today, there are Maid-Rite restaurants in several states across the United States, including Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, and Ohio.
