Results: Most Unique Themed Restaurant in Every State (Part Two)
Published on 02/15/2023
There are plenty of factors to consider when choosing a restaurant—the quality of the food, the price point, and the location are typically at the top of the list. But sometimes the full experience is the real draw, which is why themed restaurants are so popular. Of course, there are always the tried-and-true chains like Rainforest Cafe, Planet Hollywood, and The Hard Rock Cafe—but if you're looking for a more unique experience, a little digging shows that there are themed restaurant gems all over the country. Popular themes include retro (whether it's throwing it back to the 1950s or all the way to the Medieval era), but that's just the tip of the iceberg because some restaurant owners get seriously creative when it comes to choosing their theme.

FLORIDA: Cabbage Key in Pineland - Just getting to Cabbage Key is an adventure—diners are taken by boat to the nautical-themed restaurant that serves up popular dishes like hogfish with fresh mango salsa. You won't be able to miss the thousands of signed dollar bills that are taped to the walls. The tradition was started by a fisherman who wanted to ensure he had enough money to buy his next drink, but the likes of JFK and Ernest Hemingway jumped on the bandwagon as well so keep an eye out for their signatures!
