Have you ever been watching a movie where the characters are enjoying a bite to eat at some fictional restaurant that looks so real and so good, you immediately Google the name to see if it actually exists … only to be majorly disappointed when you find out it was just created for the movie? Happens to me all the time, but it's nice to go back and take a look at just how many made-up restaurants are actually out there.
Statemaster came up with a massive list of fictional restaurants in movies, TV and video games. Basically, if it exists out there in some form, they have it on there. Included is everything from the Big Kahuna Burger in Pulp Fiction to Big Shug's Chicken n' Waffles in Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector. Oh yes, no stone was left unturned on this bad boy.
Of course my favorite fictional movie restaurant has to be Jackrabbit Slim's from Pulp Fiction. While they definitely have those old school dive joints these days (like Johnny Rockets), that place was ridiculously cool with their wait staff dressed in character and their awesome dance contests. That's a place I would frequent a lot if it were real.
What about you? Take a look at this massive list, and then tell us which fake restaurant is your favorite…
