Funny Restaurants...
 
Hello all!
I'm just curious about any crazy name restaurants in your state? I just heard of one in Eugene, Oregon called Cafe Lucky Noodle and that got me wondering what other funny restaurant names there are.

There is the famous Mother Truckers in Phoenix and a chain in So Calif known as Fudruckers.

I always liked Dewey Cheatem & Howe.

Another more unique name and philosophy is Daisy Dukes in Tempe, Arizona. Dukes side is for the boys and Daisy's side is for the girls.

Fuddruckers is actually in 33 states. I've eaten there in MI and FL.

There's a restaurant here called Sushi.Come

I like the deli on Maui called Who Cut The Cheese. Also in this party town of Whistler there is a Thai retaurant called Thai One On.

Who cut the cheese? I'm rolling on the floor.
Reminds me of the time I got a very formal invitation from a very straight-laced couple who had joined a cheese club and sent out invitations saying "Come help us cut some cheese". I don't think they had a clue.

There's the Stinking Onion in San Fransisco--every dish has garlic. The interior wall murals are terrific.

Next to the Statehouse in Boston. The Fill-a-Buster deli.

We have Sushi to Dai For (owner's name is Dai).

I thought Roly Poly was a funny and appropriate name for a Southern cuisine restaurant in Jax Fl.
How many hushpuppies can you eat before you get rolypoly?

On Maui, a deli called "Bob's On A Roll"

In Winston-Salem, NC, coming soon: "Paisley Pineapple and Sofa Bar"

Big Wong in NYC?

I think Piggly-Wiggly is a funny name for a grocery store.

We call shopping there picking something up at 'The Pig'.

Loisde, where is the Pineapple Bar going to be located?

Used to be (probably still is) a restaurant in Atlanta catering to both sit-down diners and carry out...they call it 'Indigo; Out To Go"

My mother insists that during the 1940's they ate fairly often at a drive-in restaurant in Ohio that featured rabbit. It was called "Bunny on a Bun."

And I love the rotisserie chicken place in Columbia, S. C. called "Birds on a Wire".

I also liked the place in London on Portabello Road called "The S & M Cafe" -- which served sausage and mash.

What about Dr. Hogly Wogly's BarBQ in LA?

I always wanted to open a bar/restaurant that featured Asian and Mexican food and call it Thai Juan On.

We ate at a bar and grill in Colorado a few years ago called the Fun Hog Ranch.

In Baltimore there's a restaurant called Crabby Dicks. Even funnier is the hostess...dressed in an orange crab costume with big claws!
