7 Restaurant Chains That Went Out of Business and Nobody Misses

Everyone has their favorite burger or pizza place. But what about those chains that didn’t make it, casualties on the road to culinary greatness? Here are seven restaurant chains that bit the dust, and no one is asking for them to come back.

Harold Orangehairs

Harold Orangehairs décor consisted of seats covered in deep orange hair. It was supposed to be a fun, upbeat atmosphere for kids and families. But the hair came off the chairs in clumps, causing kids to put it on their heads like hats.

Pancake Paul Bunyan

Pancake Paul Bunyan was a regional chain in the Northwest featuring a Paul Bunyan-type character flipping pancakes for customers tableside. It was attempt to combine the showmanship of Benihana’s with the hearty breakfast served at Denny’s.

Marshall Mathers Roast Me

Marshall Mathers Roast Me served roasted chicken, mashed potatoes and mac’n’cheese to hungry customers while an Eminem look-alike made fun of them with on-the-spot rap battle rants.

Polka Dots

Polka Dots served traditional Polish dishes while customers fired paint gun pellets at each other, creating polka dot patterns on their clothing.

Snap Pea

Snap Pea was the brainchild of social media darling Felicia “Snap Pea” Farnswoggle, who amassed 75 million Snapchat followers in 13 months. The chain encouraged diners to take photos at several “selfie stations” which provided fake backgrounds of various locations around the world such as New York City and Ibiza.

Blockchain Burgers

Blockchain Burgers was a short-lived experiment in Silicon Valley. After ordering, robots used artificial intelligence and blockchain technology to create a custom burger unlike any that had ever been created in history. Diners could check their burger’s uniqueness by evaluating the hashcode printed on each wrapper.

Hip Check Harley’s

Hip Check Harley’s combined fast moving hockey action with Harley Davidson motorcyles. Patrons sat on real Harleys to eat burgers and chicken specials while hockey players competed right on the ice in front of their motorcycles. Customers were confused by the combination, not sure if they were at a motorcycle rally or hockey game. Plus, the food wasn’t very good. I mean…Harley Hurl Burgers?
