Kwik Way (Restaurant)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kwik Way was a chain of fast food restaurants based in California, although only one location remains in Oakland, California. The last-remaining Kwik Way is owned by Alex and Charles Hahn.

Kwik Way is notoriously greasy and infamous. A deep-fried mouse was found in an order of fries in 1981, according to the Oakland Tribune. Kwik Way gave its name to one of Oakland's only Hardcore bands Kwik Way (band) and was featured in the Commander Cody award-winning music video for their tune "Two Triple Cheese, Side Order of Fries".

According to the Oakland Tribune, The last remaining Kwik Way was in negotiations for being sold to McDonalds in 2005, which was met with a surprising degree of protest. The negotiations fizzled and Kwik Way remains.
