Creeker, SASS #43022 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I have always wanted to open a breakfast place and call it "The Awful Waffle". But since the last restaurant I invested in was a GIANT pain - I doubt it will ever happen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 A friend of mine was talking about opening a restaurant. He gave me some ideas for names he had come up with and asked my opinion. I told him since it was an American food type restaurant he should pick a name that sounded homey and maybe run by a married couple. I recommended the name: “Sam & Ella’s” He liked the name. It took him a few days to see the joke. He didn’t see the humor in it though… 2 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Back in the '70s, Clint Eastwood had a place in Carmel called "The Hog's Breath Inn". In a slightly different vein, back in Columbus Ohio there used to be an outfit driving red trucks with "Caution Explosives" signs on them. They supplied popcorn to movie theaters. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a Hogs Breath Saloon in Key West, Florida. Their motto was, or I guess still is, Hogs Breath is better than no breath at all. It's one of those places that the tourists go to have a mediocre meal and a bunch of beer so they can do the Duval crawl. My ex and I went there back in 1997. She liked it, me...meh. https://www.hogsbreath.com/keywest/ Edited March 30 by Cypress Sun 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was in one in New England when both my sons were young. Waiters were great. Ended up a knock down drag out water fight between my sons and the waiters. My sons lost. They were soaked when we left but had a great time. Talked about it for weeks. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one we went to was in Maine. The waiter took our order, from there we were on our to serve ourselves! From drawing our own beer to going to the kitchen to get our food when it was ready! The waiter just gave assistance if someone didn't know how to draw a beer. The whole experience was a riot and the food was excellent. The beer glasses were about 3 feet tall. What they call a yard I guess! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Spade Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 We have a local place run by some Greeks and the food is awesome but the name of the place is Greece Pizza.

Coyote Kid, SASS#54714 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Here at the Lake of the Ozarks we have a place called "Big Dicks Halfway Inn". It's famous for "Shooting the Minnow". Yes, they put a live minnow in a shot glass with your choice of hooch and you drink it. They also sell a lot of t shirts. By the way, the place is the halfway point on the 94 miles of the Lake.

Gracos Kid Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Going down I-75 near Macon, Ga. I was behind a convertible Cadillac with a beautiful blonde driving alone. As I got closer to pass her, saw her bumper sticker that said "I caught the crabs at Dirty Nellie's"........Sure was a gross let-down to see her bragging about it.....then I learned Dirty Nellie's was a seafood restaurant where you selected your own crablegs..... 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not the best wings USA, but then...neither does Hooters and they started in Clearwater on Gulf to Bay Blvd back in the 80"s. If it's the same one, what they do have is "events"...car shows, bike nights, etc. Overall, not a bad place.
