Best Themed Restaurants in Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey
So, what is a themed restaurant? It’s basically a restaurant that has a specific theme or concept that offers a very special and memorable experience for its clients. Themed restaurants seem to be making a comeback, because they offer something more than great food: an entire experience. According to Chow Hound, the best themed restaurant out there is Medieval Times, which has several locations across the U.S. and Canada. “The goal of the Medieval Times restaurant chain is to provide dinner and a medieval show fit for royalty,” notes Chow Hound. “Guests arrive at a castle, passing over a drawbridge and through halls lined with suits of armor to get to an arena,” plus they enjoy “feasting on a four-course meal that includes roasted chicken and herb-basted potatoes” and are “introduced to the queen and her royal knights and settle back to watch a show of jousting, swordsmanship, horsemanship, and falconry.”
