Chain sold off most locations in 1980 to Churches Chicken and most stores were converted to their own chicken restaurants. The last 3 were sold to Big Boy in the mid 80's with the hopes of the chain to continue on. The original owner of Top Hat was a long time White Castle employee that started the chain in 1955 on his own as Top Hat.

Did hamburger come from Hamburg?

While the "hamburger steak" originated in Hamburg around the 1880s, hamburgers on a bun were an innovation in the US around 1900. There are competing claims to be the first. Hamburgers as a fast food developed beginning in the 1920s (A&W, White Castle) and expanded in the 1950s and 1960s with the advent of chain franchises (McDonalds, Burger King).
