Funny Restaurant Names

I was looking around on Foodry today and was amused by some of the restaurant names from around the country. Here are a few of them:

Sacks Art Of Sandwicherie - Phoenix, AZ
Ignoring the obvious hilarity of "Sacks", "Sandiwicherie" is just a cool word.

Tibetan Yak Restaurant - Queens, NY
Yak. Just saying it makes me snicker. Plus the thought of one in the middle of Queens...

Souper Bowl - Anchorage, AK
Ok, not so funny. But give them a break -- they're in Alaska.

Big Tomato - Pembroke Pines, FL
Is it a fruit or a vegetable? It's big, whatever it is.

Dot & Etta's Shrimp Hut - Detroit, MI
Shrimp must be popular in Detroit -- Dot and Etta have a couple of locations.

Sitting Duck - Bigfork, MT
Just don't wear your elk antlers to dinner.

Squealer's - Meridian, MS
Onomatopoeia.

Mooner's Bar & Lounge - Mitchell, SD
Hehe. He said Mooner. After dinner, you can stop at the Corn Palace.

Tailgators - Perryton, TX
I hear gator tail tastes like chicken.

The Meating Place - Perryton, TX
Another one from Perryton! They're a creative bunch. I'm not sure I want to know what "meating" is, though.

Fingers, Wings & Other Things - Philadelphia, PA
Don't ask what the Other Things are.

A Wok on the Beach - Gulf Shores, AL
Wok is a word made for punning. This is a particularly good one.

Wok Right Inn - South Bend, IN
Not that funny, but this one gets two puns for the price of one.

Sar's Oriental Cuisine - Tacoma, WA
Not that Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome is funny, but I wonder if they had a decline in business a couple of years ago.

I'm sure there are some even better ones out there. Let me know about them! (And if you've actually have eaten there, submit a review.)
