I just heard from a user that this place has some great road shields, especially the one in Orlando.
I see they're a small chain but have scattered locations throughout the Central Plains.
There's actually enough of a demand for road signs to stay in business?
What else do they sell?
The only Sickies Garage I've ever seen was a burger place in Las Vegas.

It looks like they're a restaurant:

I'm guessing the shields are used as wall decor.
I don't know if I'd eat at a place called Sickies.
The name sounds like some bad rapcore/nu metal album from the early 2000's.
There is one in Irving and one in Fort Worth.... just a good drive away from me.
I've been to the one in Vegas; it's in a big shopping mall at the south end of the strip near I-15 and I-215.
It's a fairly standard burgers and beer place with the old-time garage theme. Ford's Garage (https://fordsgarageusa.com/) is basically identical. Those are mostly in Florida and I've been to one in the Fort Myers area. Don't specifically recall if they have shields but the decor is certainly car-themed.
We'll never be deserving of a place like that here.

Incidentally, I have been to that Ford's garage. I was at a nearby hotel for a conference.
Sounds similar to Quaker Steak & Lube.
There's a restaurant up in Sherman called MG's which is in a remodeled full-service station with antique pumps and bay doors, and all kinds of car memorabilia. Their menu is car-related as well — my favorite is the "Carburetor" which is burger patties, no bun with a salad on the side (get it?)
It took me a while to find it but I ate at one in Grand Forks back in 2017 that only made it about two years in business.
Looked at the menu and doesn't look bad. But as alluded to before, lots of car-themed eateries out there.

You'd probably still eat at the Bubonic Grill if Bubonic was styled in a cute cursive font and they had Flea Flicker nachos.
Neither Chicago nor Seattle has it, so the answer is no.

That name is false advertising! You can get a steak, but not lube.

True but do many post Route shields up on the wall in great amounts.?
I've seen some restaurants do that, but not a whole lot of them. Just a couple here and there.

I dunno ... depends on how greasy the fries and onion rings are ...
