Over the years, the Heart Attack Grill has become quite popular due to their hospital-theme service. The restaurant, which mostly sells fast foods that are exceptionally high in calories and fat, refers to its customers as “patients.” From waiters dressed up as doctors to waitresses attending to customers as nurses, the restaurant is quite popular for its bizarre set-up. Not just that, before placing an order, each customer aka patient changes into their hospital gown and wristband.
