In Pulp Fiction (1994), what is the name of the Los Angeles restaurant where Vincent and Mia attend a themed dance contest?

The story behind the answer

In Pulp Fiction (1994), Vincent and Mia attend a themed dance contest at the fictional Los Angeles restaurant Jack Rabbit Slim's.

The restaurant appears during Vincent Vega’s evening with Mia Wallace, who is the wife of his employer, gangster Marsellus Wallace. Its retro design is built around 1950s American popular culture, with celebrity-themed waiters, period music, and cars used as dining booths.

The dance contest takes place to Chuck Berry’s song “You Never Can Tell.” Mia and Vincent’s performance became one of the film’s most recognizable sequences, although the dance itself is deliberately presented as a relaxed part of their evening rather than a major plot event.

Viewers sometimes confuse Jack Rabbit Slim’s with the film’s fictional fast-food brand, Big Kahuna Burger. Big Kahuna Burger appears in another segment and is not the restaurant where Vincent and Mia dine.
