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. http://www.locketown.com/als.htm http://splendidtable.publicradio.org...tern_wops.html |

Buzzard Billy's Armadillo Bar & Grillo and long ago, no resturant but performance venue of note... The Armadillo World Headquarters and once across the sea... Nefer's Titty |

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) |
Road Kill Cafe in Bartlett, NH
McKim's Pub in Seoul and Tail o' the Pup (a rib joint) in Ray Brook, NY (west of Lake Placid on SR 86) Pickles Place (home of the Atomic Burger) in Arco, ID |
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 :) |
