Spoons:
A local lawyer is named Ronald McDonald.
He’s no clown–he’s actually a very well respected legal practitioner–and nobody, including the local judges, minds if he prefers to be called “Ron,” inside or outside of the courtroom, for obvious reasons. Mr. McDonald is old and close to retirement, and I think it’s safe to say that he received his name long before the fast food chain invented its clown.
An old issue of National Lampoon had, on its True Facts page, a picture of Ronald McDonald Funeral Home . I’m pretty sure it mad it into one of the books collecting these things.
In fact, there are other pictures of it:

Trust us, you wouldn't want you or any of your loved ones to be caught dead at any of these funeral homes. ...

Baltimore’s Admiral Fell Inn has a below ground entrance, down a flight of stairs.
Anyone need an award-winning travel bag ?

They have a “Do Drop In” near my mom’s hometown.
Portland, OR has a “Beau Thai” restaurant. Nicely simple.
Here in Tucson we have a Seoul Kitchen.
I really like to stay there all night.

I saw a Filipino general store named My Little Pinoy
There’s a Chinese restaurant in San Luis Obispo, CA called “Mee Heng Low.” It was there when I was in college in the '80s, and a quick Google search shows me it’s still there now. They were pretty good, at least back then.
I remember a coffee shop called “Latte Dah”.
There’s a business right outside of River Falls, WI called “Cheese and Taxidermy”, which tickles me every time I see it.
The immortal Sneed’s Seed and Feed
"formerly Chuck’s" Hey, I didn’t make it up, I saw it on The Simpson’s. Not punny, but still funny (to me at least).
Near the Pittsburgh Zoo there used to be an ice cream place called Ice Cream Station Zebra.
Perhaps they renamed it because the movie/novel it references had become too obscure.

It was thirty years ago, so sure to be long gone. I went to a BBQ place in reno, located in a very narrow storefront. It was The Squeeze Inn. Man they had good food.

There’s an outfit called Smeg . That cracked me up because I had never heard of that outfit until years after I discovered Red Dwarf .
In Fell’s Point, a neighborhood of Baltimore, there’s a lovely hotel called the Admiral Fell Inn.
What he fell into is uncertain.
