Lighthearted restaurants across the world are serving up a side of laughter.

Rather than just listing their food options, comedy menu fails and hilarious restaurant signs have been keeping eagle-eyed patrons entertained while they dine.

From one eatery revelling in its bad meatball sandwich review on Yelp to passive aggressive warnings of free concussion if diners dare take photos of their food, some owners like to create a memorable dialogues with their clientele.

But for others it's the well-placed typo or mis-translation that is sure to raise eyebrows.

Forget jerk chicken, you might be more taken with the Chicken rude and unreasonable at one Chinese restaurant and cannibals are well catered for with Human Chicken, at another.

Read on for restaurant signs and menus to make you chuckle over your choices.

Some of those made me outright LOL. And those types of greasy spoon joints tends to have good chow, too. Rule of thumb: if you pull off the interstate to eat, look for the parking lot with all the big rigs in it. That's your huckleberry.

The best, imho, is “Unattended children will be given espresso and a free puppy.”

I heard, if you count the calendars on the wall, that every calendar above *9* is like a star rating.

I worked at a restaurant with an out side reader board that we regularly used to post up jokes.

We had a sign that read “ Help I’m Trapped in the sign”

Once it said “The boss told me to change the sign - so I did”

Or my favorite:”My girlfriend said I had to get a real job this one doesn’t count.”

The cops asked us to stop because it caused a traffic accident.

When I was a kid growing up, a restaurant which was a few buildings over from our church had a large painted sign on the one side that said “Full Coarse Meals”.

There used to be a restaurant in west Los Angeles that had a sign saying something like "Bad Food -- Slow Service -- High Prices."

Unfortunately it closed before I could try it.

I stopped in a gas station outside of Lake Charles, LA one morning. They had a basket of hardboiled eggs by the cash register with a hand written sign that said, “Boneless Chicken Dinner”.

There was an eatery near my home run by a nice Chinese family. It served sandwiches and such, typical American dishes. One day they proudly put up a sign for a new item on the menu: "Please come try our home made Macaronian Cheese!"

Used to be a place near me named Fu Xing buffet. Three guesses as to how everyone pronounced that (the first two guesses don’t count).

My dad went to that place...said the wait staff was hilarious. Must’ve been comedians trying to pay the bills, etc. He asked “What’s the special today?”

“Well, the shrimp cocktail, but it’s not very good.”

That kind of thing....
