I ran across this place and the name seemed odd for a restaurant:
Logan’s Run
“Family Fare, Friends and Fun”
Considering the source of the name, state-sponsored murder is not what I associate with friends and fun. Or is there some other, less dystopian, use of the phrase Logan’s Run?
The site says the restaurant is owned by a man named Scott Logan. The name “Logan’s Run” may indeed be a play on the movie title, but I wouldn’t have any second thoughts about eating there based on the name alone.
My hometown had a restaurant called the Terminal Cafe. Now that’s an unfortunate name.
The movie is the only time I’ve heard that phrase.
But that movie came out 40 years ago.
A 50 year old may have never heard of it.
It’s better than the donut shop around here that’s named Glory Hole.
Is that the place where guys are constantly walking out of the restroom with a puzzled look on their face?
Most of the general public have likely never heard of Logan’s Run so it probably has no associations.
Me, I’d eat there just because of the name and associations - especially with the tagline “friends, Family, Fun.” Too perfect.
Just don’t go looking for sanctuary in there.
If they ever have a problem with food-related gastroenteritis I can imagine people thinking of the place as Logan’s Runs.
Do they serve fish, plankton, sea greens and protein from the sea?
“Eat at Logan’s Run and feel Renewed.”
“End your meal with a treat from our Carousel of Deserts.”
“We’re right next door to the New You beauty salon.”
And the place is overrun with cats.
[Whacks Cochrane with umbrella]: Don’t say “terminal” to an old person! :mad:
Are people older than 30 even allowed to go inside the restaurant? Or, if they are “the book is always better than the movie” snobs, people older than 21?
Kind of reminds me of “Old Yeller” dog food.
Why the heck would you name your dog food that?! That’s gotta be like the saddest dog food in the world!
My first thought too.
Worst restaurant name, as far as I’m concerned, is a place of the far Northeast side of Indy (past the ritzy side, where it gets seedy again) called D&C Pizza. “The secret’s in the sauce.” No, it doesn’t really have that motto, but I can’t help adding it mentally every time I see it, or an ad for it.
Yeah. I never, ever bought that. Bad dharma.
Sorry, Aunt Blabby. 
It’s better than Soylent Green.
“Come on down. We’re all about people!”
I live in Elmont, home of Belmont, the race track. There is a steak bar and grill called Trotter’s. There is no interpretation I can think of that’s good.
I once saw a Greek restaurant called Tantalus.
Not sure if they were commenting on the food or the service, but a bad name all around.
That’s as bad as “Children of the Corn” brand corn bread.
