Poultry Palace

Poultry Palace is a fast-food restaurant in the Toy Story Toons short Small Fry, where a group of discarded fun meal toys reside. The restaurant serves fried chicken products and is located in the Tri-County Area, like all other locations in the Toy Story franchise. The restaurant also gives out fun meal toys, including Buzz Lightyears and Emperor Zurg mini-figures.
==Appearances==
===Small Fry===
Buzz and Rex accompany Bonnie and her mom at the restaurant. There, Bonnie rejects the electronic Zurg Belt Buckle that came with her meal and asks the cashier for the Fun Meal Buzz. Unfortunately, the cashier says they are all sold out, and that the encased Mini-Buzz Lightyear was for display only. Feeling dejected that he would never get played with, the Mini-Buzz in the display case decides to escape and convinces Fun Meal Zurg, but Mini-Zurg refuses and says he would rather stay where he is. When Bonnie plays in the restaurant's ball pit with her own toys, Mini-Buzz surreptitiously enters the pit and pulls the real Buzz underneath the bunch of balls so Bonnie would end up taking Mini-Buzz home from the restaurant and play with him instead.
Meanwhile, the real Buzz is stranded at the restaurant and tries to find a way to escape. He attempts to crawl through a vent system, but ends up falling into a storage room, where a group of Discarded Fun Meal Toys hold a support meeting. Queen Neptuna leads the meeting and, believing Buzz is another rejected toy, persuades him to take part in the meeting. Forced to comply, Buzz reluctantly participates, but eventually escapes the restaurant by making a clever ruse to the other abandoned toys and using a grappling hook toy to assist him in his escape. As for Mini-Buzz, after being chased and restrained by the toys at Bonnie's house, he is returned to the restaurant, where he acts as a "sponsor" for the entire support group.
===Toy Story 4===
The restaurant appears as a cameo during the song "I Can't Let You Throw Yourself Away", where Bonnie and her parents stop here to get some lunch and eat at one of the tables outside the building while on their road trip. Meanwhile, Woody tries to keep Forky from continuously throwing himself into a trash can to prevent him from being separated from Bonnie's toys.
===Onward===
The Poultry Palace logo can be spotted next to the Sparkle Sticks box in the scene where Ian and Barley Lightfoot enter the Swamp Gas area to refill fuel for their van Guinevere in the gas station's retail store.
===Lightyear===
The Poultry Palace logo can be spotted on a bag of cookies labeled "Castle Cookies" in a vending machine during the scene when Buzz Lightyear plans to get a meat sandwich from the vending machine.
==Trivia==
*The restaurant is very similar to Pizza Planet from the original film, as they both have names that start with the same initials: Pizza Planet and Poultry Palace.
**Another similarity is that they are both fast-food restaurants, although Poultry Palace is just a regular restaurant specialized on chicken, rather than being a space-themed restaurant specialized on pizza.
*Poultry Palace appears to be a parody of either or (both fast-food restaurant chains sporting a medieval/castle theme), along with and (both fast-food restaurant chains specializing on chicken-based products).
*Fun Meals are a parody of Kids Meals (especially McDonald's Happy Meals) for kids in that they both contain a toy with the meal and both supply new toys after the previous ones are sold out or discontinued.
**Additionally, the Fun Meal comes in a box, which heavily resembles a Happy Meal box.
**The restaurant seems to sell Fun Meals for $3.99 as stated on their menu.
*Poultry Palace may be a reference to the Chicken Man (a.k.a. Al) at Al's Toy Barn from the second film of the franchise.
*Fun Meal Zurg, when explaining his reluctance to escape from his display container, states that he "[didn't] want to get in trouble with the chicken people," although it is unclear if that meant whether the employees of Poultry Palace were aware of the toys being alive or not.
*The Buy n' Large logo can be seen on a vending machine when Buzz attempts to escape.
*In Toy Story 4, it is revealed that the restaurant has outdoor seating.
