Alas, "Waddles" has recently closed in Portland OR. Their slogan was, "You walk in, but you waddle out!" Their onion rings were to die for.

And those 'Waddles' home fries at breakfast...yum yum.
(Can't believe they closed for a Krispy Kream of all things, and now Krispy has decided against it afterall. )

just want you to know the "lucky Noodle" may be a funny name but they do have pretty good food - I eat there quite often

I don't remember where, probably in California somewhere, a Thai food restaurant "Thai me up".

In Park City, we also have a Nacho Mama's. In Salt Lake, there is also a Brewed Awakenings coffee drive thru.

My favorite is a bar that's been around many, many years. Used to be called "My Wife's Place". Now it's "X Wife's Place."

Hey Rain_Monkey03 you started a pretty funny post here and got a lot of responses cause it's a fun post which we need more of! I suggest you start another one on funny names/slogans of businesses.

I would do it myself but this is your gig so go for it.

I'll give you a start. There is a septic system cleaner truck that goes around here on Cape Cod with a slogan "We are #1 in #2".

When I was in Portland, OR, we ate at a Vietnamese restaurant called MisoHapi.
It was really good and our tummies were very happy!

Wednesday - you beat me to it - I was reading the thread and thought I just had to post the "A&K Lick-A-Chick" www.lick-a-chick.com.
It's in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.

There's a commercial on TV now with a fake restaurant that is getting no business - it's name is "Sam 'N Ella's Restaurant" (or something close to that).

Found it hilarious as we would always joke about inviting Sam and Ella to dinner when people would talk about keeping areas clean when preparing raw chicken or having undercooked burgers.

Quite right, kcapuani! My daughter used to work there. It was always a bit embarrassing explaining that to people.
