The strangest restaurant location that I've seen:

In Los Gatos, California, about 75-miles south of San Francisco, a
restaurant called the Chart House (a nationwide chain) opened about
20-years ago. It was opened in a large 2 or 3 story old Victorian
house. Nothing wrong with that, except, the previous occupant of that
Victorian house was a funeral home. I never ate there, for obvious
reasons. That location has closed, but was open for a number of years
and did good business.
