After a surprising six-year run, Cleveland’s Tilted Kilt has closed. The “breastaurant” featured plaid-skirted and bikini-ed “Kilt Girls” who served up chicken wings, fish and chips and Shepherd’s Pie to, well, apparently not enough people.

Calls to the restaurant went unanswered and the location already has been scrubbed from the corporate website. The Tilted Kilt in Canton closed its doors last year while others continue dropping like flies around the country. Shocking, we know.

The location will become a Panini’s.

  1. Well, the same people who owned the Kilt franchise own Paninni, so this is not a big surprise. Kilt was more than dated.

  3. These clowns still thought this concept was still hip and cutting-edge? What a bunch of boobs. They did not keep abreast of what is and isn’t trendy. Glad to hear another Panini’s is coming back. Too many of them have closed up over the last few years. Never mind jiggling. Been there, seen that. Nothing new. Just gimme a bacon-egg-and cheese, please!

  6. If Panini’s wasn’t a ‘decent” and well-liked outfit, then it wouldn’t have outlasted the countless other joints that have been conceived, born, and died in infancy over the years. Good food and reliable service will always triumph over skin and sleaze and foodie trendiness and hipster bullshit.
