‘Jacks or Better’ in the St. Louis area used to have free bowls of peanuts and you threw the shells on the floor.
Visited Jacks or Better many times as a kid. My Dad loved it.

Jacks or Better was the sponsor of my son’s junior high YMCA football team in Overland Park, Kansas, during the middle 1970’s. We played every Saturday then all the parents would head over there to drink beer and the kids ate a ton of peanuts. Best part was throwing the shells on the floor. They had the best cheese dogs and hamburgers in the world. Had forgotten all about this place - thanks for the reminder.
We also had a place on the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City called the Levee. Peanuts and bourbon and water was the meal of choice for many a dinner after working all day on the Plaza.
