This includes Jean Shepherd of "The Christmas Story" who grew up in Hammond, Indiana ("You'll shoot your eye out, kid!"), where the first Sears Roebuck catalog was printed, and so much more. But one great memory is the Maid-Rite hamburger which was treasured by all. We make the recipe available here, so close to the real one the Maid-Rite hamburger guys wanted it removed.... We didn't...

I grew up with them. Bad thing my mother moved us out of Iowa when I was barely a teen.We moved to Chicago and now I do not have acess to them unless I drive at least 5 hours to my home town to visit my Aunt. I really do miss them.They are delicious. I love Maid Rites! I grew up with them.

Ours did not have beer, mustard or anything but a little onion cooked in it. If what you say is really true, they have changed the recipe. Our wonderful M-R's were only steamed. When you ordered, you asked for M, MP, K, O or any combination of condiments you wanted. Please do some more research before you tell the public that M-R's are made with beer, Pepsi or whatever. Sorry, but you are mistaken. This is not the Maid-Rite I grew up with in Hammond, Indiana. Ours did not have beer, mustard or anything but a little onion cooked in it.

The restaurant has been around since the 1920's. It is not affiliated with the Maid-Rite chain, it has been owned since the beginning by the same local family. The maid-rite in the photo looks good. I like mine with mustard, onion, and pickle. No ketchup! Maid-Rite in Quincy, IL is the home of the world’s best maid-rite. The restaurant has been around since the 1920’s.
