Nixon's Family Restaurant was owned and operated by Francis Donald Nixon, known as Donald, the young brother of President Richard M. Nixon. Donald eventually owned five restaurants, including this restaurant and a drive-thru burger stand in Whittier.

In January 1957 Howard Hughes lent Donald Nixon $205,000 to bail out his "Nixon's" drive-in restaurant in Whittier, California. The restaurant went bankrupt less than a year later. Questions about whether this was a political favor dogged Richard Nixon during his campaign for president and later when he sought the governorship of California. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Nixon
