Tips for Choosing a Catchy Restaurant Name

  • February 8, 2026 1:26 AM PST

    Hi everyone,

    I’m helping a family member name a new eatery and realized how challenging choosing restaurant names can be. While reviewing different restaurant names, I noticed the best restaurant names often tell a story or hint at the food style.

    Some restaurant names use humor, which can make them more approachable. I’d love to hear how others narrow down restaurant names. Do you test restaurant names with friends first? I’m also curious if unique restaurant names help with online marketing. Any guidance on avoiding common mistakes with restaurant names would be appreciated.
