Entering the restaurant could be a bit panic-inducing, especially for anyone who has been in jail before.

Great sign!

In addition to the locking jail cell doors, quaint signage, and interrogation-style lighting, the restaurant is decorated with old Wild West "wanted" posters and photos of bandits and other desperados on the walls.

Menu items are cleverly categorized to stay within the theme. As Cell Block is a steakhouse, there are many cuts to choose from, as well as chicken, ribs, and seafood options, appetizers, and desserts.

I wonder if anyone actually orders this. Regardless, it's quite clever.

Individual and group tables are located inside jail cells. Of course, there are other tables which aren't quite so intimidating.
