There was a place in Ventura County (either Camarillo, Oxnard or Ventura, my sister would know but I'm too lazy to call her to ask) called Dukes Btich'in Burgers (letters scrambled so as to show up). AWESOME burgers too!!

In town, there is a Yum Yum Good Chinese restaurant.
Our office moved to a small rural crossroads (great place for a software development business), so the general question of the day is 'Which gas station would you like to eat in today?', since there are only a couple of real restaurants within a 10 mile radius.
However, up the road aways is the 'Country Goodies and Oak Furniture' where you can get a peanut butter and jam sandwich for $1.09 (your choice of jam!) or a bologna sandwich for $1.39. I guess that counts as a restaurant. They do also sell oak furniture.

Best in PDX
My favorite is a Chinese place in Portland just inside Chinatown off of Burnside. It's called Hung Far Low. I even stopped for a pic, figuring that no one would believe me.

This is an enticing restaurant – it welcomes you from the Soi; the ambience is quiet and the decorations ‘interesting’. The check/bill came with a condom.

It is very conveniently located to the Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit, which is where we will stay!

I am currently managing a restaurant/tavern known as the 999's (Three Nines Taven). The current owners, in their 44th year of ownership, don't know where the name came from .... they never changed it. Some say the previous owner won the establishment in a card came .... winning hand being 3 nines.

The Hang On Chinese Takeaway in Thatcham, Berks
The new student union bar at Uni was in the process of being renamed and there was a lot of support for renaming it 'The Library'...though some chump decided to name it 'The Brown Bar'

Does anyone who understands the language know what the name means?
