An oddly themed restaurant that has a menu full of infamous murderers’ final meals is planning to open another location, amid a mixed response to the concept.
Opened in 2025, the The Last Meal first opened inside the Ohio Museum of Horror. and has since gone viral for its recreations of documented last meals of executed criminals as served on prison cafeteria-style trays.
For instance, diners are able to enjoy a plate named after John Wayne Gacy, a Chicago serial killer and sex offender, featuring chicken wings, fried shrimp, French fries and strawberries. You’re also able to tuck into a steak-and-eggs meal inspired by Ted Bundy, and wash it down with mint chocolate chip ice cream modelled after the final request of Timothy McVeigh, the Oklahoma City bomber executed for domestic terrorism.
Owner Nate Thompson told Fox News Digital: “We try to offer an even blend of last meals that sound really good and filling to anyone, with last meals that are quirky and odd. For example, a single olive [referring to convicted murderer Victor Feguer’s final request.]
The second location is set to open just a few miles away from the Michigan Museum of Horror. Thompson said: “The plan was always to open a Michigan location. A portion of profits from The Last Meal goes to victim support foundations, the Mansfield News Journal reported.
“Last year, we found a great location in Ohio that we couldn’t pass up, and I think that was the only driving factor in opening in Ohio first. We’ve been so excited to open a restaurant in Michigan for a very long time.”
The restaurant also serves themed drinks, including a cocktail inspired by Charles Manson. The themed restaurant has caused both interest and criticism. One commenter wrote on Facebook: “Why not serve dinners for the heroes who arrested these monsters.”
“It might not be for everyone, but one of the things that I am most grateful for is all the support for the macabre,” Thompson said.
