Fritz’s Railroad Restaurant began in 1954 by Fritz and Virginia Kropf. The couple started the restaurant as a fifties-style drive-in in Kansas City, Kansas. Years later, a second location was built.
Fritz was an inventor who worked hard to design a food delivery system. The intent of this new design was to help the restaurant run smoothly despite a shortage of labor. Fritz called this system the "Skat Kat," but others called it a train. Eventually, the name took off and the couple incorporated the railroad theme into the restaurant.
