For the most part, it’s an eatery’s fare that’s remembered by diners. However, in some instances, the setting is just as memorable as the food – and that’s exactly the case with Payne’s Restaurant. Sure to make a lasting impression, the unique restaurant serves up authentic British cuisine in surroundings that are quirky, to say the least. Take a look:

The very definition of a hidden gem, Payne’s Restaurant is tucked away in the small town of Gas City.

Its rural locale may be a bit out of the way, but it’s completely worth the effort it takes to get to since the eatery serves up one of the state’s tastiest AND quirkiest dining experiences.

The eatery’s quirkiness is clear as soon as you set foot inside and take in the pillow-clad booths, tables equipped with salt candles, and jugs that serve as light fixtures.

The offbeat theme extends to the outdoor dining area, which is equally as quirky as the interior.

But the wonderfully weird touches don’t end there. Mismatched plates and menus stored in old books only add to the unconventional vibe.
