Does the name on the sign have any impact on whether you eat there or not? Why or why not? | ||

It has for me. There's a burger place down the way which is called "Grub." Nope, I'm not into eating bugs regardless of the slang meaning for "grub." Life moves pretty fast.

Well, I stay away from Sam and Ella’s. I had to go in and actually see the Squat N Gobble in Georgia. But usually no, unless it creates a strange picture in my mind. Never be more than one step away from your sword-Old Greek Wisdom | |||

If I have never eaten there. Otherwise no. If it is too cute, I would pass on it. | |||

Name doesn't matter. If it's somewhere I've never been, I look how big the crowd is or at how many cars are in the parking lot. Hopefully if the locals like it, it must be pretty good. "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

When I was in my teens/20s, we had a restaurant right at the turn off to the county landfill named Le Dump. It was quite good, so no. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | |||

no, only thing that generally turns me off from a restaurant is if it is a chain, I think Bonefish is the only exception that the wife and I frequent, as far as sit down type places, every other place we have dinner is a local (granted the owner may have a couple locations in town) but not nationwide/statewide/regionwide https://chandlersfirearms.com/chesterfield-armament/ | |||

This. Name doesn't matter... I try to go places recommended by people I know. If I'm in an unfamiliar area, the cars are in the parking lot are a pretty good clue. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Not really. One of my favorite little restaurants when I used to coach baseball was tucked away in the predominantly black section of Leesburg Florida. It had no sign, and was known only by the locals and others through word of mouth. Hands down the best fried chicken and collard greens I've ever had. And usually being one of, if not the only, white people there, we never felt more welcomed by the owner and her staff. Now my mouth is watering for some of their fried chicken.  ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom. Every man should have several guns.

Depends. For Japanese restaurants, absolutely. I won’t even consider a place that doesn’t have a name that might be a restaurant in Japan. I’m sick to death of these posers. In other cases, maybe. Like many things, a bad name just speaks volumes and serves as a warning. Like it might be suggetive that the owners are more about a quick buck rather than decent food "Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it."
