The restaurant at which the family eats, was, at one time, a real restaurant; a national chain diner called "Sambo's". It was located directly across the street from Southgate Shopping Center in Lakeland, Florida, as it appears in the movie. Due to the controversial nature of the name and interior design, the diner (and entire chain) closed sometime in the early 80s, except for the original location in Santa Barbara, California, which, to this day, remains open in its original location. It remained an abandoned building for many years, until Tim Burton came to town to film this movie. Burton's crew unboarded the doors and windows and redressed the interior to look like a working restaurant again.
