Little "Italian" place near me, I ordered the bresaola salad, it was arugala with olive oil on top and fucking pastrami.

There was this Italian place in my college town that was beyond awful. The food was bland as fuck, the service time was whatever, and it always had something wrong there. My first time there, my friend found flies in his salad, the second time I went there is smelled like someone tossed a used diaper behind the seats and the staff only said it was a sewage problem every store on the bock was suffering from (nobody else on the block suffered from the problem after I went to their places).

I worked at walmart while going to college and checked out the owners of the place a couple times buying in mass all of the great value pasta sauces, pasta, garlic breads, and meatballs. Not sure where they got the other stuff.

The place was also pretty quiet almost all the time and had no music, making it suffering to be in the place.

>>10164985
nothng dreadful, but most recent horror was going to a "sushi restaurant" with the familly and they had avocado in every sushi. (or should I say maki, of course they didn't have traditional ones)

>>10164985
some "authentic italian" place near wisconsin dells like 15 years ago.

>>10164985
This chillies about 15 minutes from my house

>>10164985
An Italian restaurant near my house. I got cannelloni but it looked more like an enchilada with ground beef and nothing else, not even seasoning. My wife got some kind of pasta with vegetables and tomato sauce and the pasta was white and there were maybe 4 pieces of vegetable. Worst of all it was $70

a mcdonalds staffed entirely of blacks

Recently the Popeyes in Lancaster Pennsylvania but a couple of years ago I was at a Bojangles a little north Richmond. That place should be burned to the ground, bulldozed and the ground salted so nothing will ever grow there again.

>>10167156
But i like chilis...my gf and i go there all the time and get their 2 for 20 deal

>>10164985
Three guys and a pizza place in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin

Now I know Wisconsin gets a lot of shit for being flyovers but if this restaurant were the standard by which we were judged we would deserve every last bit of it. They sell ad space to other businesses on their menus. They charge you 3 dollars if you want to share a dish with someone. The balsamic dressing I shit you not resembles grey mayo. Taco pizza topped with sour cream and tortilla chips

>>10167145
>Worst of all it was $70
>$70
Christ...

>>10164985
Steam Plant Grill, Spokane, WA

Moe's. Everything from entering the place to leaving the place was beyond awful. I couldn't even stomach the food, because it tasted so fucking offensive and terrible.

>>10164985
Graham Elliot Bistro circa 2014 - two Michelin stars and hands down the worst dining experience of my life.

>>10164985
i'm sure there was something shitty and local that was just awful but the only one i can remember is Black Eyed Pea

Just a reminder not to trust any "Italian" place outside of NJ/NYC
And a further reminder not to trust any Italian place in general that says "authentic" Italian

An Italian "sausage" sandwich place. You can tell it was some old guy trying to live out his dream but was doing everything wrong like in kitchen nightmares. All of their "fresh" sausage was bought from a local supermarket, and their "specialty sandwich bread" was store bought Italian rolls. To make this all worse, when they actually made the sandwich, they took the sausage, microwaved it, then stuck the sausage in the a sandwich and microwaved both. They threw on some jarred peppers (cost extra) and wrapped it up, where the juices from the sausage and peppers completely tore the sandwich apart. Cost me $8, and I got a $3 specialty soda which was easily the only thing remotely tasty.

>>10164985
A Thai restaurant that everyone raved about. It was literally just called 'Thai Cuisine'. I just ordered a simple pad thai and it tasted ok I guess. The really bizarre part was the waitress was like a 15 year old white girl despite the entire rest of the staff being Asians. She didn't know anything about the menu, she was slow, and gave shit service despite my table being the only one in there. At one point she was sitting in a chair in the corner for like 15 minutes, which I guess was her break so the restaurant just had no waitress for that whole time. They also did that jew shit where you order a soda and they just bring a can of it and a cup of ice then charge you $3. I paid with a card and later I found out they charged me extra and I called and bitched and they reverted the charge.

>>10164985

diner I went to Thursday for lunch
menu board said "spaghetti and meatballs"
get linguini and meatballs, ugh

>>1016759
Whoa. This must have changed completely the dish.

>>10167550
>what is Italy

>>10167692
Obviously we're talking about America here
Unless you're some kind of non-American, which in that case you can fuck right off

>Order steak rare
>Get steak well done
>Ask for a new prepared according to my spec
>Do not get it
>No refill of water
>Pay and leave no tip
>Overhear the waiter call me "a fucking tourist"
>When I came home to my country I called my countries branch of the restaurant and complained
>Free dinner and wine, perfect rare steak and a cute waitress
>Tips are not custom, gave her 40 euros for the fantastic service

>>10167712

>>10167736
IWas too tired to cause any commotion and the money wasn't the issue.

>>10167746
All I remember the person serving me was flamboyant and spoke with a nasally accent. So he was prolly a faggot

>>10164985
Every single restaurant I went to in Lisbon.
The best food they had was some shawarma chain in a mall.

>>10167750
Oh it's just some fucking potatonigger from Boston. Nevermind

This shit. Someone tried to tell me it's like a Canadian Cheesecake Factory. It's not.

>>10164985
Went to a conveyor sushi place once. Most of what I had was OK, but the last item I picked up was some kind of seasonal "Valentine's sushi" that had no indication of what was in it other that what you could see in the dim lighting. It looked like inarizushi with strawberries and a couple sauces drizzled on, so I figured it was some dessert item and thought it wouldn't be too bad. Turns out it was filled with krab salad with extra mayo covered in sweet chili sauce and unidentifiable green shit. With strawberries. It tasted like someone made it as a joke to see if someone would eat it. I've probably been to worse restaurants overall but that was the most unpleasant thing I've ever tried while eating out.

>>10167712
which restaurant?

indian place in town, they have closed down now thank god...

>ordered some tandoori lamb as they for some reason didn't have any curry dishes.

>the sauce was so thick, dry and pasty you had to chew it, the meat was like chewing on a shoe and it generally felt like i was eating last weeks stew that didn't turn out so well. the rice was pretty good though but i mean its hard to fuck up.

I'm not a pleb so I never go to shit places.

>Italina place in town.
>Very small place, seemed like a house.
>Everything looked old, way too rustic.
>Waiter seemed to be the owner too, talked way too much, made too many forced jokes and laughed a lot.
>Hard to understand him because of his accent.
>Able to see in the kitchen when the doors opened, very small, again looked like a house kitchen.
>Crock pots of pre-made sauces and other food.
>Served way to much food per serving.
>"server"/owner always disrupting meal.

>>10167539
Deetz?

>>10167145
honestly if you paid for that you deserved it

>>10164985
There was this Italian joint in a suburban downtown that was absolute garbage. Food was way overpriced and bland.

I signed up for yelp just to leave a bad review

>>10168605
Planet Hollywood

>>10164985
A Mexican restaurant called "Macayos" or something like that.
1st time going to any restaurant i order basic. Example, this experience i ordered a carne asada burrito...Tortilla was cake like and beans were really fruity tasting, meat was beyond burnt.
Other issues, soda was terrible tasting (no carbonation or something like that) they charged for subpar salsa and chips (that were stale)
They closed down and honestly I can see why.

some shitty place that was called an "establishment, apparently by advanced Alzheimer's patients who lost all sense of taste in an accident and enjoy paying out the ass for garbage
>everything is store bought, and not even good store bought, but discount store
>salad was shit iceberg lettuce that already started to wilt, canned garbanzos and canned tomatoes
>they had no dressing at all the waiter told me, it was meant to be served "dry"
>ordered some sort of wine chicken
>it's the driest chicken i've ever had
>no fucking idea what cut the meat actually was, it was extremely wide and extremely flat
>came with a side of microwaved green beans
>this cost fucking $23

Hopjacks in Snohomish Washington.

Holy fuck was it awful.

>>10167550
PA should get an honorable mention do decent Italian joints

Sup fellow Lanc-bro, went to that same Pop-eyes when they first opened up and got a seriously upset stomach, tried it again not too long ago and it wasn't too bad this time to be honest.

>>10165014
I mean the other stuff is shitty but buying the pasta and sauce from Walmart meant most likely they didn't order enough or they got shorted (it would be too expensive to buy that shit retail and not in bulk from like Sysco or Labatt for the exact same quality but less cost) unless they were that incredibly retarded at business

>go out to east side marios

TGIF, so prolly my fault for going to the shitty chain. But it is pretty sweet at home

Bobby's Burger Palace in Cincinnati, Ohio.

There was one person working the entire floor. I mean like bartender, taking orders everything. It took 30 minutes for the woman to even get to me for my order and an additional 30 minutes to get the food to me. Oh, and in the restaurant there were four other people besides me. The food really wasn't that bad but not nearly worth an hour wait time and the price. I read in the reviews later this is how they operate. As bleeding edge understaffed as they possibly can.

>>10168725
Except for your house to your shit life, you miserable /ck/unt

A shitty place in Bongland.
My family and I took fish and chips just before taking the ferry to go back home,and holy crap they were disgusting/soggy abominations.
We all got sick during the trip

Freacking brit food I swear

>>10167752
I honestly have nothing against homosexuals except they typically have the nastiest attitudes. As if there is a stick in their ass.

I go to Whole Foods and ask some faggot with a green apron where x is. Answers me with a huff wearing an insepid visage.

We're past due for a good old fashioned fag drag.

This "Mom and pop" place in north charleston called Brecks that was known for their massive steaks.

A friend and I went and good god it was awful. The steaks were huge, but about a 4th of it was gristle, they look like they had been oven baked, with no char or seasoning at all, and the sides were literally just canned veggies with nothing added. It made me realize that "Mom and Pop" and "Local" does not mean quality.

>>10170604
I need a source on this webm so I can determine whether this is comedy or the guy literally can't eat pizza

A farm restaurant in the sticks of Lower Saxony that advertised itself as a "corrugated sheet metal palace". Basically a huge dining hall with a semi-circular roof built as cheaply as possible.

They mostly offer dishes with asparagus and potatoes that they grow themselves, but the service is absolutely awful. My parents took me there twice when I was a kid.

The first time, we ordered four servings of potato croquettes for the kids, and they brought four servings distributed among three bowls (???) so we were left with the task of doing the math and dividing them into four portions ourselves. It was like a test

The second time, we went there with fifteen or twenty people and they forgot my order. I got to wait half an hour extra and could finally eat my schnitzel when everyone else had already finished their meals.

>>10169155
Macayos! I’ve been there, can confirm total shit.

>>10168817
Ya fair enough but it took like 45 minutes to get the check so my wife and I just wanted to leave.

>>10164985
KFC in Oxford. That chicken was fried in a oil used many many times, at least I could tell so from the smell. It's incredible that even the fastfood in italy is superior to other countries, it may be more expensive but at least you'e not eating cancerous shit.

>>10164985
Shitty outright:
KFC in bumfuck nowhere with chicken cooked in ancient oil. A couple of employees got in a fistfight while I was there, but that was kind of fun to watch so I can't really say it detracted from the experience.

Shitty from expectations:
>Went to fancy, expensive restaurant in town that regularly won local awards for years
>Service and ambience were fantastic
>Food was either far too salty or too sweet and I swear to God my appetizer was microwaved
>Still gets rave reviews to this day and anyone with the same complaints as I had gets a bunch of people arguing with them.
Charlottesville VA is chock full of mediocre over-priced food, don't listen to anyone that calls it any kind of food destination. Bodo's is great though, go just for that.

Also one time I ended up at a Roanoke Applebee's, was seated, and then no one came for a half an hour so I just got up and left with the napkins and sugar packets to compensate myself for my time.

>>10167510
This is true. Moe’s is horrible

Pizza hut

>>10167988
Just get the deli sandwiches there. The rest is shit

the restaurant in some shitty hotel in queens, nyc. our flight got delayed or something, they offered to put us up in a nearby hotel for one night in exchange for a free upgrade to business class on our flight tomorrow. we accepted.

>get to hotel
>looks like it hasn't been used since the 80s
>swimming pool atrium literally overgrown, green pool water
>walked a couple blocks past rows of shitty, chainlink fenced houses to a nearby popeyes for lunch and some firefighters stopped us (a white family) and said to be careful
>that night, decide to eat dinner in the hotel restaurant since it's complimentary with the deal we got from the airline
>go down there, it's dark, wood everywhere, nobody else in the restaurant, like a bar from a movie
>old asian guy waiter
>ask for a ginger ale
>he returns with a coke "here's your coke"
>ok whatever
>my autistic picky eater dad tells the waiter he doesn't want the side salad, not to bring it, because he doesn't want to waste food
>brings it out anyway
>"i don't like salad" "yes you do"
>i ordered a burger
>shit was disgusting, i could have made better at home, one of the worst burgers i've ever had, absolute mess

don't go to queens, nyc

Applebee's

>>10171152
is it okay if I only go there strictly for queso and chips?

>>10171097
I just moved to winchester and the food here is real shitty.

>>10164985
Some hipster place on the coast when I visited Portland, Maine. 20 bucks for a piece of raw salmon, undressed - and the menu made no mention of it being raw. Though I got to see a piece of the berlin wall when I was there, so it wasn't all bad.

>>10167550
Ayo come to Boston's North End and say that

>Food Wise
Ordered from some local Chinese place, just the stringiest, foulest chicken I've ever had the displeasure of tasting, the fried rice was beyond burnt and dry, and the crab rangoon was just cream cheese in a terribly oily wonton

>Service wise
Went to a Buffalo Wild Wings once where I swear the waitress either left or got fired halfway through serving us, spent a good 30 minutes waiting around for drink refills, and of course the food was lukewarm by the time we got it and surprise surprise it's buffalo wild wings so it's terrible

>>10171809
ive never really had a bad experience there to be honest. you have to go there knowing you're getting deep fried probably 99% frozen bullshit.

>>10167736
Some people have what's called dignity and walk away instead of taking abuse because the food is expensive.
Not everyone is a fucking wagecuck

>>10172236

What exactly are you trying to say here?

>>10170642
He cannot. It's from a "how to eat pizza" video (seriously).

>>10169477
He became the CHOCOLATE WONDERFALL, apparently.

>>10173018

some armpit pizza hut stashed away in a strip mall where me and my friends picked up our order one night. nobody welcomed us, nobody was looking at us, nobody was working, and nobody was smiling. it looked like all the staff that was in there were suffering and all hated each other. the chick that punched through our pickup order never even made eye contact with us or said anything positive. I don't think she said anything at all except for whatever information was required for the order.

it's not like I really expect those things, and it's not like I was offended, I don't care, but to give context me and the two friends I was with all worked in the same restaurant where having a friendly attitude is not only expected it's required, so it felt extremely alien and prosthetic. I haven't gone back to that place since. I just didn't want to bother these depressed people anymore. jesus christ.

>>10169004
why the fuck would you ever eat there? It's a terrible restaurant and everyone knows it.

>have coeliac disease
>go out to eat(I know, terrible mistake)
>restaurant has big signs bragging how everything has gluten free options and is prepared in a separate area with sterilised equipment and shit
>get something that shouldn't have any gluten in it to begin with
>service is slow as shit and server doesn't speak the local language at all
>food finally arrives, lukewarm and flavourless
>suck it up because out with family and don't want to cause a scene
>get home
>go to bed
>wake up in the middle of the night, gut in an uproar
>spend weeks completely fucking incapacitated
Don't eat out if you've got coeliac. Just don't.

>>10174283
This weird Pizza Hut down the road from me. I went in to their buffet and noticed all at once the entire restaurant was empty. I mean no one at the counters, nothing. I was the only human being inside the building.

So I noticed a bunch of employees gathered outside the window around the side. I decided to ask them for some god damned service. Instead of actually replying a few of them held up their middle fingers in response. So I just kind of gave them the finger too and left.

I found out later that Pizza Hut was closing so the staff just decided to completely go fists in the air and not serve anybody in the final days. Each work day until zero hour was just an extended smoke break with a side of Fuck You.

IHOP. Shit service, shit coffee, shit food, waitress disappears for 40 minutes until you walk out the door then swoops down immediately to see how much money you left her.

I went up the street from where I work to this sketch as fuck looking deli. When I went inside the building they seemed to have a large menu. So I tried ordering the corned beef and swiss. The lady smirked and replied:

>"We're out of corned beef and swiss."

"Okay how about ham and cheddar?"

>"We're out of ham and cheddar."

This went back and forth for awhile until I asked what they -did- have. The lady answered bologna, mayo and american. Then she plopped down a bologna sandwich which she paired with Wonderbread from a bag and a slice of Kraft.

>I had wondered into a front for organized crime.

Wow, it really DOES happen.

I've been through Winchester many times but never eaten there, I guess I never will.

>>10174385
Oh shit, this is what corporate capitalism will do to you

>>10164985
A place in the ass-end of the hill of Piedmont. The owner was an old bitch that insisted in speaking in the Piedmontese dialect, despite the fact she could clearly understand us, the cooks were doing crosswords while there were patrons waiting for food, and, when five hours later I got my meal, it was bad: the gnocchi's suace tasted like vomit, the steak was like 90% charcoal, and the alleged chocolate cake was just a block of (still frozen!) chocolate.

What was the total? 50 fucking Euros.

>>10170240
Having restaurants understaffed is a real problem. I was a maitre d' at a small local place and was expected to basically manage the joint with zero training from the new Chinese owners who knew nothing about western food or table etiquette. Luckily the chef was really talented, but I got a lot of complains for my crap service. I mean, I didn't disagree with them, but it wasn't really my fault.

>>10175653
Yeah, I saw the workplace Apocalypse happen at a KFC. On that day people didn't show up, people quit and even the manager ragequit. The only thing left was a visibly shaken young girl trying to run the entire AN STORE on her own. Customers were eating her alive because orders were like 30 minutes and by the time she hustled around yeah, things might have gotten a bit cold.

The store closed a few months later. That girl had some huge cajones. I would have just abandoned ship out the back door and let the costumers fry their own chicken, raid the registers or whatever the fuck they wanted to do. What the fuck is going on with YUM! brand shops?!

>>10175621
It made me feel a little bad because I thought at first 'they were just young assholes being assholes' and it didn't dawn on me at the time there was a good reason for the anarchy.

>>10173009
Oh, I get it. He's the guy demonstrating how NOT to do it. He plays the nutrient-negative, squeamish, health and germ conscious food wuss who doesn't like to get his hands dirty. I highly doubt he is like that in real life

>>10171622
Just dont to new york city in general the place is shit tier unless your a soycuck.
I learned this the hard way when my gf dragged me to nyc for a weekend trip (her idea), everything was 3x more expensive than at home and all the restaurants were filled with nonwhites working in Michelin Star restaurants. Streets were filthy and after 7pm homeless just lie around beg for money and ask to fuck your gf. Gf was so dissapointed we left a day early after i beat up four dindus for harassing us.

>>10164985
>go to Denny's after concert
>get food poisoning

>>10169456
There's no way you were unaware of this place's online reputation unless this happened over 20 years ago.

>>10175962
20 years ago it was WORSE.

GCs all through the Midwest were owned by a 'sleaze baron' who used them as a front for a criminal enterprise. They were cartoonishly filthy because he gave no fucks. The Golden Corrals he owned were there to launder money and served no other purpose. Corporate eventually shut down his racket and took back all his stores but the damage had been done.

>>10176097
>Corporate
Who?

I've been to a couple pizza places that seemed to serve Tombstone pizzas.

>>10174694
It's because Italian-American food is a very familiar taste and not very expensive to make.
You can easily lure in the average "i don't care where we eat" customer because Italian-American food is generally something that people will agree to liking and doesn't necessarily require you to be "in the mood". Because it's a money-maker, you have a lot of people who don't give a shit what they serve as long as it makes money opening up "Italian" restaurants that serve bulk pastas with canned tomato sauces.

>>10176100
There's one of those places down the road from me. Actually the pizzas might have been selfmade, but they were definitely topped with mushrooms from a jar and very mediocre. But a whole pizza was 5 euros so it's okay

>>10164985
An indian place in my college town
On the first look, it seemed fine, clean restaurant, friendly staff, and a manager with a smile on their face.
Everything went downhill just as I saw a rat fucking jumping from one AC unit to the other. The rat impressed me with his performance (it was a good 1-1.5 meter between the AC units, and the rodent just jumped like it was nothing) but soon the unsanitary dread began setting in. I told my friends about the rat, but everyone was too fucking tired and hungry to find another place, so we took our chances and ordered anyway. I ordered naan bread with paneer tandoori. The food was meh, not good at all, just barely palatable. The bill was pretty steep too. Needless to say, the place was never visited again.

In my experience with Indian eateries, they tend to be on the extremes, either they're absolutely shite, or really good

Does a burger joint count as a restaurant?

If so there's this local "mom and pop" style place that oversalts fucking everything to the point where it's almost literally inedible.

There was a Chili's in University City in Philadelphia (its the beginning of west philly). It was above a strip club called Atlantis. The strippers would come in and rip 6 shots then go back to stripping in the building below. Nothing sears into your mind like watching a black stripper with stretch marks from pregnancy eating nachos and chugging tequila.

Also, if you got a lapdance at Atlantis, you got a free cheesesteak from this placed called Abners, right next to the strip club.

>>10164985
The Blue Parrot in Louisville, CO

Closed last year after being open 98 years. Just flat-out shit "Italian" food. Literally only kept alive by blue hairs. Made me want to kill myself every time the family mentioned that's where we were going to an event or whatever

why would I go to a bad place?

>>10164985
There is this shitty buffet china restaurant in my small town and everything there is so bland. Also half of the menu consists of really shitty versions of American comfort food.

>>10169456
I've never been sick from Golden Coral but I remember the food being extremely bland. I ate there once and have no plans to ever eat there again.

Ever go to a place you knew would be bad? I went to a place called, "Mad Dogs" and they had gourmet hotdogs and it took them 20 mins to serve up three hotdogs that were not even body tempurature in shitty lighting conditions.

>>10174694

>>10176111 this too, exactly what he said

>>10176791

>>10170604
>as if there is a stick in their ass
Well duh

>>10174356
What did you even get

>>10174385
I saw something similar at a local coffee shop that closed after the building was sold to a franchise company - everyone who worked there was fired with only a couple days’ notice. When I went in to order one of the employees was kicking plastic cups of ice all over the floor.

Are there any places I should watch out for in Cherokee County, Georgia?

>>10167510
Moe's>Chipotle and it isn't even close

I went inside a pizza place in the Bay Area in Cali and was thinking at worst I am going to get Domino's tier pizza. Holy shit I was wrong, It is honestly the worst pizza I've ever had in my life cardboard with sweet ketchup and cheese on it. Recently moved from NJ to Buffalo, NY and this pizza is shit too. I guess I was spoiled, but the worst pizza where I'm from is miles better than anything here.

>>10169456
10 years ago or so Golden Coral had some okay food, good place to go if you're a fat fuck or had kids. Now it's just niggers and it's all a dump. I'm banned for pressing my asscheeks against the glass while everyone was eating so fuck em

>>10171097
Dang is southern Virginia really that different from that north part? I live near Fredericksburg and all the food downtown is for the most part good.

Both are pretty shit but at least chipotle is trying not to be shit. Moe's is basically tacobell in terms of quality but with five guys pricing. You can make a decent chipotle clone at home and end up with a good fucking burrito.

>>10167576
"Thai Cuisine" is basically the "Panda Garden" of thai food. Garaunteed shit-tier mall food.

If I had to pick one, probably Red Robin. It wasn't the absolute worst in terms of quality, but it felt as though every part of the experience was tailor-made to offend me.
Fucking awful tacky flyover-chic decor, employees singing happy birthday to other tables with the sort of forced cheer that seems like it was "encouraged" at gunpoint. It reminded me of the restaurant Jennifer Aniston works at in Office Space.
To top everything off I ordered a sandwich identical to one I used to regularly buy at Safeway, it was almost twice the price and tasted like shit in comparison. Sandwich and fries just tasted like salty garbage.
It seemed like the sort of pathetic, milquetoast compromise restaurant that's doomed to die out when the Boomer generation does.

What was the name of the place? I live in the Baraboo area, and I might've gone there once.

Subway or Red Lobster I guess it's good for flyovers and shit taste tourists, but who the fuck eats at these places? It's so fucking bland and bad I feel sorry for people who like it.

Ruby's Diner.

>>10178131
I eat at subway when I feel like it. But there was one time where I just gave up. They had their new sriracha sauce. I asked for a small bit, because I don't need my sandwich slathered with sriracha mayo. And what does the bitch do? Slathers my sub in sriracha, to the point where it just tasted awful.

A "family Italian" restaurant a while back for aunt's birthday. Forgot the name, just know it started with an m. Everyone just wanted Domino's or something but my aunt instisted.

Go a little salty but whatever. Walk in and the air was just... Wrong. The floors were super fucking gross. Hardwood, but crumbs and stuff were all over the place. Decor was literally just flower wallpapers and checkered cloths.


Get pizza and bread sticks, it's god awful. Pizza is so damn greasy you can put a napkin on it and the napkin is dripping. Take the smallest teenth of a bite, 97% of pizza is this horrible sauce, with the consistency of water. Bread sticks were super stale and I couldn't even take a bite. There was also olive oil all over them for some reason.
Just sipped on my soda the whole time.

Didn't eat pizza for a while after the fact.

The point of a fast food chain is consistent quality.

Some local(?) 'Murican diner called Sharis. 30 minute wait to get my coffee, 45 more minutes to get a burger and fry, and bitchy passive aggressiveness when I dared to not tip 30% for that $30 shitty meal. That was the one time I went, and it's being replaced with a Mel's (50s Style) Diner.

Italian place where I used to live,
ask for eggplant parmasean, get eggplant lasanga .

An "Italian" restaurant in a shit part of town that, on the night we were there, had a (bad) Elvis impersonater singing. There was a gigantic confederate flag draped across a wall, and a really old Italian woman was staring at us from behind a wall, in an almost cartoonish manner. I was just a kid and dont remember what I orderer, but I remember my brother ordering lasagna that came out in a steel tray, as though it were straight out of a box. My bus would go past it on the way to high school and thats the earliest I remember seeing it again and it was an empty building, thank god. Reading this thread has really got me thinking about the types of people that open "Italian" restaurants

No. La Hacienda in Manhattan.

Ole Hickory Pit in Louisville, KY, all the meat was mushed up into basically paste in little styrofoam cups and extremely salty. Worst bbq I've ever had.

Divine Swine in PA

I love BBQ so I was excited to try a new place. It's small and quaint but it was just counter-service, gal was nice but jesus the food was bizarre. My brisket was cold and dry, but at least had a nice smokey flavor to it. The 'baked beans' had to have literally been the generic brand of pork n beans from a can with no other ingredients. Mac n cheese was incredibly bland and had no cheese flavor to it. They graciously gave me a thick slice of cold moist texas toast with my meal which was awful.

But that's not even the worst part. They """make""" their own special sauces and have them sitting on the table and you can buy a bottle of them to take with you. I tried each one and boy was that a mistake. Their bourbon bbq sauce had to have been 50% bourbon and 50% ketchup, all it tasted like was booze. The Carolina mustard sauce may well have been a bottle of French's since that's exactly what it looked and tasted like. Their vinegar sauce I shit you not was just straight vinegar, I poured it out onto the tray and it was completely clear like distilled vinegar. And the worst was their homemade sweet sauce, it had a pepto-bismol pink color to it, was very thick, and tasted like an extremely sweet blend of bubble-gum and fruit punch, it was beyond bizarre.

Cole slaw was good though.

>>10177921
Some kind of venison with "game sauce", aubergine and rosemary roasted potatoes.

TGI Fridays.

Worst burger I ever had in my life, barring a Rustlers microwaveable burger. I literally would ratehr have paid the same price, and gone to maccies.

Fucking Casa Flores.

My friends love it, but I don't like it all that much.

actually sounds like you really did, or at the very least some kind of money laundering thing using the deli as a front.

Momo, some Ramen joint by a bunch of white guys who went to Japan and thought they could do it just as good back home. Just no. Ordered spicy edamame and got a bowl of some very plain boiled pods with about a whole cup of chili flakes just dumped on top. The tonkotsu was a salty nightmare and the egg looked like it had been laid a year ago.

>>10164985
Some shithole family restaurant in a small tourist town. Terrible service and food.

Pretty much every Mexican restaurant I go to. They all suck.

Here's the thing - if you didn't ACT like a faggot, then "breeders" wouldn't treat you like shit. Very few people actually give a shit if you're a homo or not. But if you're outwardly "different" then you will be treated as such.

20 years ago Golden Corral was considered to be an mid-tier family steakhouse. The meat was of good quality, the salads and chicken were respectable. The patrons were middle-class and with fairly well behaved children.
Then, the buffet began.
I am not sure that Golden Corral is directly responsible for the failure of the American experiment but, damn if they aren’t an example of it.

>>10183961
Why all the Golden Corral hate? Golden Corral is honestly better than a fucking movie.

I have a friend named Bruce. Bruce looks to be some kind of honest-to-God pirate at first
glance, and I mean Captain Jack Sparrow's crew pirate, and the ornery, mean old fucking pirate
you'd never, ever want to mess with because he'd bite your God-damned nose off and eat it. He's
also wildly into K-pop, choreographs his own dance routines to it, and in the last year or two
has started just basically eating like a Korean, which apparently means shitloads of vegetables
and cabbage. Anyway, Bruce goes to Golden Corral like 2x a week, which I thought was kind of strange
due to his new health kick, so finally I asked him about it.

"Dude," he said. "Golden Corral has a shitload of vegetables, and their cabbage is great. But
you're missing the point. You don't go to Golden Corral just for the food. It's fucking dinner theater."

And you know what? He's right. For $12 you can sit and watch some of the most hilarious, downright
hellishly gluttonous behavior you will see outside the Plane of Fat in the Demonic Abyss. I went with
him one time and laughed so hard at some of the shit on display that now I go with him about once a
month, get a big plate of steak and another big plate of salad, stake out a spot where you can see
most of the buffets (and oh for fucking sure the CHOCOLATE WONDERFALL) and just observe the kind of
unbelievably self-indulgent (and self-destructive) shit that would make a European or Southeast Asian's
person head explode off their shoulders in horror and make someone with a "sick sad world" sense of
humor laugh their ass off.

Someone, say, like me.

For example, the very first time I went with Bruce I was witness to "the recon." This is a real thing,
and what I am about to describe is not an isolated incident, no sirree. Humongously fat people will
literally go scout the buffet.

Old Country Buffet was OK in the begining but towords the end it was fucking awful.

>>10184253

I'm thankful I live near a high quality buffet for the 3-4 times a year when I want to exercise my rights as a proud American and consume a week's worth of calories in a single meal. It's $20-30 per person depending on the day/time you go plus there is a Golden Corral nearby to siphon off the Wal Mart crowd and their shitty kids. Excellent meats, creative sides but they also do the staples perfectly, fresh vegetables/salads, fun meme imported sodas, elder god-tier desserts, great variety of every type of food.

>>10184253
>Old Country Buffet was OK in the begining but towords the end it was fucking awful.

I couldn't think of the worst restaurant I've been to because I've been to so many restaurants in general. but I do have a terrible hot dog story.

the government basically put up a hot dog stand on a public park
kinda cute, aesthetic, local craft beer on the bar side

kids are working and don't know how to make a hot dog.

the italian dog that was supposed to have some sort of salami, proscuttio, etc just had like, costco pepperoni on a cold weiner.

Never got bad food but one time a couple of friends and I stopped in at an Olive Garden and it took like 15mins for the waitress to bring our beers after seating us, then another 20mins before a different waitress showed up to take our food order.

I’m guessing the 1st chick was at the end of her shift and didn’t care, then she went home and we got forgotten about.

Brand new Wendy's opened up in my neighborhood last year. It was nicely furnished, with flat screen TVs on the wall and a faux fireplace. I've been there a grand total of 3 times and the food is always always cold (especially the fries. i can overlook a cold burger but the fries were totally stale and lim) and the service is terribly slow.

And no, Wendy's doesn't' taste like "fast casual"-tier food. It tastes just like goddamn mcdonalds only its 1.5x more expensive.

I am not fond of Red Robin’s decor but I don’t hate it either. I like their food, but their service is SUCH CRAP. I don’t understand how multiple different locations have such awful service. Only good service I’ve really gotten there was in the bar. Otherwise it’s slow, you get forgotten about, they get your order wrong, etc. Last time I got the appetizer after at least 15 minutes and only a couple minutes before the food came, leaving us no space on the table for the food.

Yup. Come to East Tennessee, we're fucking overrun with Mexicans, but as a result (and benefit) there are amazing, delicious Mexican restaurants everywhere you look.

I recently went to a Carls Jr. It was bizarre. Haven't been there for a while so I went there with a friend after a late night rehearsal for orchestra. The cashier was fun and nice, which was commendable for it being pretty late. Ordered the Big Carl, took a bite into it, and it tasted like I was eating grease and cardboard with the consistency of meat. Never remembered it being that bad.

Fuck, last time I went to Golden Corral was eye-opening. There was like 8 of us or so in line for the ice-cream machine (I always like to get a cone on the way out). Anyways, two teen black girls were at the machine laughing their heads off and taking forever, finally a couple of us pushed up to see what the fuck was going on.
These little retards were filling cones and dumping them off into the spill tray, and then doing it again and again. I have no fucking clue why anyone would do that, but the guy next to me pretty much told them to fuck off and they looked at him like he was insane.

Puerto Rico is shit tier and so are its people. Lazy sons of whores dont want to work but want the paycheck at the end of the week. Ended up firing all of them because they ended up cursing and threatening me during dinner service for making them do their jobs. We hired 2 white boys fresh out of highschool to replace 6 guys. They do an excellent job and my boss, head chef and I decided to pay them double what we promised them and to make them full time (healthcare dental and vision) after the first month. If you want a decent paycheck fucking work for it Lazy Ass Puerto Rican Cunts!

Puerto Rico is a shithole. I literally had to be buzzed into certain restaurants because that's how prevalent crime is there. Or you can go to the beaches and swim in raw sewage. Or you can unleash your inner barbarian and eat a shark, because fuck the ocean. Enjoy dodging stray dogs and cats whenever you drive somewhere. I also didn't even mention the barbeque place (recommended in a travelers book) that ran out of fucking barbeque sauce. Hope you like BBQ ribs extra dry.

If you're planning on going to Puerto Rico, consider going to Detroit in summer instead, seriously.

Did you at least warn other people away on Google, TripAdvisor, Yelp, ect?

Fairy. I bet you purposefully speak with a lisp

>They also did that jew shit where you order a soda and they just bring a can of it and a cup of ice then charge you $3.

Actually you usually get more soda if they give you an entire can of it. If you just get a glass of it it'll usually be 50% ice.

And one more thing about Puerto Rico: their piece de resistance: mofongo. The pride and joy of every restaurant there. Ooooh! You just HAVE to try the mofongo! Mofongo is so wonderful! They serve it with everything!

It's fucking green mashed potatoes. They use plantains instead of potatoes, but that's what it is: it's mashed potatoes.

I guess all the settlers are alive, they're still waiting for their waitress at Applebee's

Leaving a shit tip demonstrates displeasure more than if you don't tip at all since it shows you didn't forget it. I would have tipped a couple of pennies though, that was a waste of a whole dollar.

>>10174385
You wonder why they would even show up though

>>10177350
Same goes for Mexican/Texmex food outside of Southwest honestly. It is a money maker and standard fare so alot of owners don't give a flying fuck about standards or quality. Italian is like the shitty fine dining option, Texmex is the shitty casual option. Both cuisines are fantastic if done right though.

Honestly I've never had a bad experience at Whatabuger but I also think if Burger King cooked their burgers to order it would be the exact same product.

Bro it’s called PICKLE barrel. It’s like, Half your fault for not putting 2 and 2 together.

Even then not every place in New York is going to be great, good restaurants are rare imo
Just stick to your Nonna's cooking instead

You are 100% correct, nothing here in the Northeast that tries to do Southern is good. If you want good food from some place, go there. Otherwise, deal with the shit you get in your area

This buffet in Niagara Falls. The worker picked up a piece of bacon off the floor and put it back in the buffet. Fucking Canadians.

>>10164985
whats that cake in your pic?

Franky and Benny's - a horrible chain Italian-American chain in the UK

Italian-American food is an abomination conceptually, made worse in this instance by low-quality ingredients, standard casual-dining preparation and a forced/faux decor.

Is a soul-destroying place tbqh

In what way do you get treated like shit?
>Over representation in media and films
>State sponsored parades in the middle of summer all month long
>Past two Presidents bending the knee to everything you want with marriage
>Any crime of assault against you is a hare crime and carries a heavier penalty
>Getting to discriminate with exclusivity I'm clubs and bars
>Colleges giving you buildings and clubs for your kind
All that and you still use breeder as a derogatory term and still complain. You and your kind are like grown up spoiled children it is never enough.

>>10183359

>>10186644
>and you still use breeder as a derogatory term
Yeah, it's not like you use "faggot" and worse, is it?

>>10186794
Name one positive thing about faggotry

>>10186794
>Being this new

>>10186794

Flammen in Randers, Denmark.

Spareribs tasted like salmon, all the beef cuts were bland and chewy, salad bar was awful and the only noteworthy sidedish was the gratin potatoes, which were most likely store bought.
Can't believe I paid $33 per person for this.

>>10164985
other than fast food, there's a pizza place in my city that is just awful. the pizza is really really bad and the prices are insane. they can justify charging as much as nicer italian places because they are open in a student neighborhood until 2 am

>>10186931
Didn't even know Flammen was a chain.
Explains my disappointment in the one in Odense.
