Cockyporters, it's a hamburger stand in Miamisburg Oh, small round (not square) burgers deep fried in a wok type device with pickles a thick slice of onion and mustard, Too Die For!!! It's in the center of the city in the round-a-bout, don't worry there's only one, and the locals probably don't know what a round-a-bout is, better stick to cirle in the town center. Couldn't get Wurst! :)

When technically registered as the politically correct name, Al's Place, the restaurant is more commonly known as "Al The Wop's".

Total dive, in a 1890's migrant workers village on the California Delta.

Sounds like a former iDine joint here in Seattle: Two Dagos From Texas.

I haven't seen any mention of "Gandhiji Bar & Grill" in NYC. That one has thrown my South Asian pals for a loop.

There were two restaurants in Gainesville, FL that I used to love the name of:

Chinee Takee Outee (chinese food, duh)

and

Cluck U! (chicken place)

Any motor sports fans will be familiar with Quaker State oil products. 30 years ago during the oil crunch some guys shut down a gas station and opened Quaker Steak and Lube. Visited one of them a few years ago and it was great. Careful of the Atomic Wings. You'll have to sign a release form to order them. ;)

Nacho Mama's has really good margaritas but yes it is a weird name!

In Mass:
Bunghole Liquors, Peabody, Ma right next to a church
Clam Shaven, The sign orginally read Clam Haven, but somebody climbed up on the sign and painted an 'S' and painted a beard on one of the clams/ They used to have liks on http://www.marshfieldsbest.com but that was years ago

Lynn's Paradise Cafe in Louisville, Kentucky

A very funky, groovy place :)

Dinosaur BBQ in Sycracuse, New York.

One would think it would be a cutesy place from the name, but far from it.

Very cool, hoppin' place :)
