We all know that restaurants (especially non-chain restaurants) sometimes have really weird or unappetizing names. I think the worst restaurant name I've seen is Dumpy's (not surprisingly, nobody ever went there and they weren't open for very long). Of all the restaurants you've seen or been to, which ones had weird, funny, or just plain gross-sounding names?

Oh, yeah, I also recently visited Key West and they had a restaurant called Crabby Dick's (I can't believe I forgot about that at first!). I've actually seen the Blackie's place that "okay yeah" mentioned (I live 3 hours away from Chicago) and I never even knew it was a restaurant!

Yeah, jfrench4, that's the exact restaurant I was talking about! Actually, there was something else put in the building after it left; it was a restaurant called Shotgun Willie's for a while and now I think it's some motorcycle place.

***** Crab House is a great name and a successful chain there is a resturant in Lancaster, PA run by the Amish that is called Good and Plenty and both are correct.

There was a restaurant when I was a kid called The Ground Cow. When you ordered a cheeseburger it would come out with a cow on a stick poking out of the bun. Amazingly enough, they went out of business.

Vietnamese "Pho" (Pronounced "fuh") Noodle soup restaurants have funny names. In Atlanta, we have a "What the Pho?". In Portland there was a "Pho Shizzle". I've also heard of "Dirty *****" (a crab restaurant).

there was one in Columbus, OH called "Ho Toy." It was a Chinese restaurant, but I thought it sounded like a strip club.
