Sincere question: what does 86 mean in a restaurant?

Also, this.

In bars, it also means kicking someone out. Where they aren't allowed back in at all.

86 means 'cancel'

“186” is California Police radio code for homicide

ie why you usually see 186 associated with ms-13 graffiti

You are thinking of 187. Not related to 86/nix

We used 86 when we were out of something for the night completely. 86 chicken pot pies!

Yes! I can vouch for "86" in restaurants means "out of" aka "no longer available" .
