The Last Meal

The Last Meal is a restaurant concept operated in Galion, Ohio, as part of the Ohio Museum of Horror. The restaurant’s menu is built around recreations of recorded last-meal requests from executed prisoners in the United States. Dishes are presented as named menu items associated with specific cases, and the concept is marketed as a combination of dining and true-crime curiosity.

The restaurant is run by the same operators associated with the museum (commonly reported as Nate Thompson and Raychel Eastes), and it gained wider media attention after opening in 2025. Coverage of the venue highlights that meals are often served on cafeteria-style trays styled to resemble institutional food service, reinforcing the theme without presenting the site as a formal historical exhibit.

The concept has attracted both interest and criticism. Public discussion has focused on whether a menu built around convicted criminals’ last meals risks sensationalising violent crimes. In response, reporting around the restaurant has described efforts to frame the concept as educational or documentary-adjacent, and some coverage notes that a portion of profits is directed toward victim-support or related charitable foundations.
