I gotta say, I'm not really one to complain about hairs. If it was a really long one or a pube that would be different, but last week I had an eyelash in a sandwich and just took it off.

What a load of malarkey. A $10 "discount" on a $60 meal is still putting money in the restaurant owner's pocket. They should have at the very least taken it off your bill that night and replaced your food. If a restaurant owner served me food with pubes in it I would look at $10 coupon for a future visit as if he just whipped his dick out, slapped me in the face with it, then defecated in my wife's purse. I've been given 10 dollar coupons at places by managers trying to drum up future business. You sir, are a world class chump with a capital 'C'.

Not a restaurant experience, but I remember when I went to Tokyo and was just wandering around with my sister who wanted to check out some of the bars.

We ended up at this little roundabout that had what looked like a little park in the center of a number of larger buildings. Park was walled all around, but had multiple openings and we just wandered in one of the entrances and were commenting on all the trees and plants there were, until a few feet in we noticed a porch door and some umbrellas outside it, and realized we were basically walking around someone's yard and not some park. We quickly and quietly got out.

We ended up finding a number of miniature bars just set in various buildings. Like you'd see buildings kinda setup like an concrete office building, but there'd be stairs to secondary levels or basements on the exterior. It was kinda weird seeing how many tiny bars there really were around, most of the bars had actual seating at their bar for only about 4-5 people and then seating for maybe 20.

Ended up doing the hokey tourist thing and visited the hotel bar from Lost in Translation, enjoyed some drinks and listening to the band there.

I always hate hearing about kids being polite getting screwed over by some shitty business.

I ended up doing some work in a crappy little restaurant that did these shit burgers that looked just terrible when they came out. The place had a meat grinder and all sorts of equipment to do nicer stuff, but the guy running it just felt like buying these preformed frozen beef patties to use for burgers. I always just ended up feeling sorry for anyone that ordered food in the place because I knew how little effort was being put into everything.

Probably someone that was just an idiot and thought cutting a few corners would be no big deal.

Fact is, most restaurants don't make any profit in the first year, so any restaurant opening up has to be prepared to deal with heavy losses, but you still get people thinking they can start up some little place and cut corners and still succeed.

It's the sort of reason i think so many aspiring chefs are starting up with food trucks.

In highschool, a friend of mine went to a local burger place that he frequented a lot. We were really high and walked in and right off the bat the old faggots that owned/worked at the place started being dicks.

They were stage whispering thing, being rude, etc. Not just about the fact that we were high either. Just dickhead behavior - sure we were 16 and high, but we were polite, paying customers.

Anyway, my buddy had been going to this place a lot so I held my tongue. I ordered double what I planned and the dickhead remarked about the munchies or whatever.

They took their time and when it was ready, I grabbed my wallet and said "enjoy the burgers fuckhead" and walked out without paying and without the food.

My friend followed suite and was pissed, but man those old fucks were assholes. Oh well, they are hopefully dead now.

I'm just going to cut and paste reviews I've posted on another site cuz I'm a lazy cunt and don't feel like green texting everything. Here are some of my more scathing reviews. Enjoy? These are all Ottawa, Canada based reviews btw.

Nate's Deli Express/Family Kitchen
"Not surprised it closed the first time... "
Went here for dinner tonight. Ordered a Reuben platter. For 12.99 you get a sandwich, coleslaw, pickle and fries. It came open faced with a big plate of lukewarm and mushy fries. It's all about the double fry guys. It's hard to screw up french fries.

The smoked meat on the sandwich was okay. Your standard thinly sliced stuff that you can get anywhere in town. More distressing was the presence of a thick blob of processed cheese on top. Lazy and cheap. I didn't detect the customary Thousand islands dressing either.

I overheard people waxing nostalgiac about the old Rideau street location, I can't understand why. Why this place was as busy as it was is a mystery to me. There are better smoked meats out there.

[Anonymous No.3801390]

New York Fries
"High Hopes, Unsatisfying Payoff"
I have to admit that I got a bit giddy when I saw that New York Fries had recently added a Butter Chicken Poutine to their menu. The thought of rich curry ladeled over hot fresh cut fries and big squeaky cheese curds touched a part of me that probably doesn't need to be mentioned on a family friendly restaurant review website. So did this multicultural culinary collaboration result in an international incident or did it bring the world closer together in a harmonious union of Indo-Canadian decadence? Read on.

The butter chicken sauce itself is surprisingly okay. There is a good whiff of caraway coming from it which I found to be a pretty bold move for a fast food place. The curds are all way too small to be any good, cheese pellets might be a more apt name for them. The fries were kindof lame, to be honest I've never been crazy about the fries at New York Fries.

Ultimately what ruins it is the thickness of the sauce. It would be much better if the sauce was thinner, here it just stays clumped at the top. Halfway through the poutine and you're left with a whole pile of plain fries.

The pursuit of the dream continues. I can only hope that somewhere out there, a young Indian entrepreneur is working on a better butter chicken poutine. Maybe he's out there, substituting the cheese curd with some salted paneer, using only the finest potatoes and creamiest sauces. Maybe.

[Anonymous No.3801393]

Garlic Corner
"Swing and a Miss"
You can't walk ten feet in Ottawa without running into a shawarma restaurant. The prevalence of cheap shawarma in town is a gift and a curse. There are a handful of excellent lebanese fast food restaurants along with a host of terrible imitators.

This place is located smack dab in the middle of the market, benefiting greatly from a choice location to the bars. Garlic Corner serves the ceaseless demands of hoards of shambling drunks, craving cheap meat and more hangover fuel.

Featuring aggressively priced beers and shots and even a hookah so patrons can smoke flavoured tobacco, you would think this place would be beating the crowds away. The place was near empty when I went and I think its the mediocre food that does it.

I had one of the sandwich plate combos. You get a large sandwich and a choice of 2 different sides, I went with a fatouche salad and potatos. Price rang in somewhere north of $14. A bit rich for my blood. The fatouche was awful, completely soggy. The chicken in the shawarma was also dangerously undercooked. I much prefer it when it has a bit of a crip on the outside. The potatoes were cold and unremarkable.

The guy at the counter was friendly but that couldn't save what I feel is an overpriced and mediocre product. Avoid.

[Anonymous No.3801397]

Below is the review I got the most kudos for (a whopping 4 comments!).

KFC
The Double Down is Kentucky Fried Chicken's latest advertising coup. A bonafide hit in the United States, Canada has now been invaded by a marketing campaign of epic proportions. A lot of the hype seems to surround it's vaunted calorie count, but it actually falls well below Wendy's Baconator and Burger King's Triple Whopper.

I went to the Rideau center location, forgetting that it was Toonie Tuesday. The girls behind the counter were actually doing a fairly good job of pumping the food out though, and the line moved along okay. I could hear plenty of other people in line talking about the Double Down, eager to plumb the depths of Western civilization's newest low point.

$13 bought me the combo, the sandwich, a poutine and a soft drink. What can I say about the Double Down itself? Let's start with what it is. The Double Down is two boneless chicken breasts with two pieces of processed cheese, two pieces of bacon and little squirt of "Colonel's Sauce" placed in between them. Think of it as Chicken Cordon Bleu for the mentally challenged.

The Chicken itself was salty but pretty good to be honest. The bacon is almost non-existent though and the sauce was likewise barely there. The two slices of processed cheese are what ultimately ruin the entire thing, overly salty and gross. I believe that taken as a whole, the Double Down is the physical manifestation of self loathing. Anyone who willingly puts this thing inside their body, for any reason other than a one time novelty, has seriously given up. My poutine was a warm gray tray of salty slime that bears little resemblance to our national dish.

Expensive, excessively salty and revolting all around, forget the hype and thank me later, Or don't, but don't say I didn't warn you!

[Anonymous No.3801402]

The Prescott
"Nope."
Pizza (small meat lovers) was awful. Mushy crust and tasteless cheese. Drowning it in chili oil, chili flakes and parmesan helped, barely. Service was that nice Ottawa style where every request above and beyond placing your order is treated with thinly veiled contempt. Beer comes with a cool little plastic cooling device inside. That's the only positive thing I can say.

[Anonymous No.3801406]

If anyone is even mildly amused by these please post something. Otherwise I'm done.

Ho Ho Restaurant
"Dull"
I've ordered delivery once from here, sampling a variety of different dishes. Sauce ranges from grey and tasteless to grey and salty. It's not even up to par with other Canadian Chinese places. Don't expect anything approaching spice or flavour or freshness. Expect lots of filler ingredients like carrot and celery.

>Wild Wing
>"Ugh"

Had trouble with service when I last visited a few weeks ago. I've had good service here but by and large the place is staffed by absent minded and unsympathetic teenaged girls. Nice to look at and popular with leery managers but not all that nice to deal with from a customer's point of view.

When we were there they were offering some kind of appetizer deal where you could get half off or discounted apps. We attempted to order onion rings as an app instead of fried pickles/jalapeno poppers etc. and were told we couldn't do that. Even though the rings were a buck or two cheaper than the other apps that were offered in the menu, it was apparently just impossible to do this. We received zero apology and no effort was made to ask a manager to make an exception. All we were told was that the computer couldn't handle the change and that was that.

Clearly perturbed at being asked a simple request, we were given attitude by our server for the rest of the night. When she delivered our drinks we attempted to add something to our order but she cut me off and said she'd be back in a second, she walked over to another table to take their order and wasn't seen again until she brought our food out. Ummmmm, No. I'm sorry honey, that's not how service works. You deal with the table you are standing at first.

Needless to say we didn't tip. I hope she got the message but I'm sure she will blame it on us being "jerks" or something.

Fuck it. Most proud of the movie reference in the title and the mayo line...

>Maskali Restaurant
>"...and we're all gonna have to take a bite."

I was enticed to visit Maskali after reading a glowing review on the Cheap Eats Ottawa blog. I don't want to turn this into a review of a review but after reading that the food was 'to die for' and the chicken 'was like heaven' I was more than a little bit curious about this place. While it was certainly 'cheap' I was unimpressed on a number of levels.

First the service. It's cafeteria style, so you order at the front and seat yourself. The cashier lady was nice but language was a slight issue. On the picture it shows a sandwich on a plate garnished with tomatoes and lettuce. I asked if the sandwich came with a salad and was told 'yes'... needless to say all I got was the sandwich. I was also asked if I wanted it spicy; As a 9th degree spice master I nodded my head enthusiastically and requested my sandwich extra spicy. I doubt even the wimpiest of spice wimps would've rated it above a 2.

You're given a choice between a normal sub bun and a more authentic wrap, I went with the wrap. The chicken was stringy and the bread it came wrapped in was so greasy it was translucent. The sandwich was garnished with tomato and lettuce that was wilted from the heat of the pan fried meat and onion. Worst of all was the decision to include mayo. As a caucasian I know that mayonnaise is widely thought of as the lifeblood of my people but I would have preferred more fire and African spices than this creamy pandering to my western sensibilites.

Maybe they have better choices on offer at Maskali but after this visit I'm not sure how inclined I am to go back.

>Chartwells(campus cafeteria and assorted food vendors)
>"The worst place to eat in Ottawa."

Oh how I pity those poor out of town fools who get signed up to the University of Ottawa meal plan. Chartwells is unequivocally the worst place to eat in Ottawa. With so many cheaper, healthier and tastier alternatives right downtown, why in god's name would you eat here? Go to the chip stand on campus, go talk to the nice guy who runs the sausage cart on Laurier, use the free on campus vegan meal service "People's Republic of Delicious", I don't care, but whatever you do don't eat here.

Do you like inferior grade burgers that are likely to be half cooked or burnt? Do you like being price gouged by chain restaurants serving up poor imitations of their regular fare? Do you like being snarled at by snooty French people who can't be bothered to repeat themselves when gently asked "pardon?". Even though the U of O has a strict policy on bilingualism and every job advertisement I've seen for Chartwells lists French AND English as requirements apparently they must have a francophone hiring manager. Don't get me wrong, I can understand enough French to get by, certainly enough to understand prices and simple directions, but it must be spoken clearly, not curtly muttered at high speed by someone on suicide watch.

I hate you Chartwells, please do us all a favour and burn to the ground.

The first negative review I ever wrote. It generated a bit of discussion and is a chain so maybe you'll get something out of it? And now I'm truly out of material so I hope the 3 guys reading this mildly enjoyed it.

>Moxie's Classic Grill
>"Gross and Expensive but Surprisingly Sexy!"

I came here with my uncle on his recommendation. He admittedly is not very adventurous when it comes to food and his reason for choosing this place was because the "the waitresses were good looking" sigh. It was during a lunch rush and we had to wait awhile to be seated. Far from being a bad thing it actually increased my anticipation! If it was this busy it had to be good right?

We were seated by an okay looking waitress, nothing remarkably good or bad about the service, it was fast though. We ordered the calimari the server suggested and it was all little bits that were extremely gross. It was the worst calimari I've ever had, thanks for the suggestion! My Uncle had a burger and fries which he enjoyed, I had the philly cheese steak which was terrible. Imagine thickly sliced lunch meat slathered in "zesty" mayo and those pickled hot peppers you see on hot dog carts topped with a soggy bun. I could barely finish it and I'm a fairly hearty eater. It was nasty. Maybe I should've ordered a steak as other people seem to have enjoyed those.

As it stands they need to do something about this menu. I can appreciate them wanting to accomodate the myriad tastes of every horned up low level executive that stumbles into this place for lunch and a free gawk but really, Asian stir frys, Greek wraps, crappy sandwiches, steaks and Italian pastas don't really help forge a strong identity. Right now Moxie's is rightly known as the pricey place with mediocre food and attractive waitresses. It's also packed to the rafters so what do I know, that's Ottawa for you.

That being said, I went to Waffle House once and ordered a pecan waffle. I bit into it and my teeth grazed something hard, I figured it was a pecan hull. NOPE. It was a rusty tack from their peg board. I called the waitress over and complained. She tried to argue with me about it and left the waffle (uneaten by me) on my bill. I spoke to the manager at the counter and he resolved the issue by not charging me. I have never been back to that place.

They are handing you a piece of paper that you can trade in for food which cost them substantially less than the $10. Also, you will probably drop and extra $50 in the same visit so its win-win. Agreeing to come back to their foul establishment after openly complaining about it... That's worse than the manager coming and bitch at you about how unsatisfied he is with you as a customer (and you standing there and taking it like a badass stall-pisser).

You should have demanded the $10 come off the current bill (or however much your entree cost) and then a gift certificate for your next visit since they basically ruined your meal and now you have to jump through hoops asking for compensation in the vague hope that you may possibly eat there again some day.

I vote for not returning. I worked there over a summer and it was probably the shittiest restaurant I have worked at. They were too cheap to buy a rubber mat or get a carpet service. The door to the galley that the wait staff used was right next to the dishwasher so it was soaked the entire time. Every single day someone slipped and either busted their ass or dropped whatever they were carrying. They didn't have a real solid plan for doing any serious cleaning. They used a wet rag (no soap orr cleaner) and wiped whatever was convenient or obviously dirty, but other than that it was never thorough. That's what worries me about those sticky tables. Too cheap to use a clean towel and some ammonia, so they just continuously wipe it down with the same unsantized rag.

I don't think there is anything wrong with not being a nig and always focusing on getting something for free. I've had tons of shitty experiences and have never asked a refund, Besides, not letting $10 rustle your jimmies is a frame of mind worth striving for. I just don't go back. One time the waiter asked how everything was. I told him I didn't like the steak... I wasn't going to lie about it. Next thing I know the manager is on one knee next to my table apologizing profusely. I explained the menu said "steak" which I expected would be cooked like every other steak. This was like pot roast as if it had spent time in a pressure cooker instead of on a grill. The bad part being there was nothing in the menu mentioning any unusual voodoo cooking method.

> Manager on one knee

The waiter stopped by while the manager was there and he asked the waiter to bring me a menu. Said, "pick anything you want, we'll have it out here right away." I play it safe and get the shrimp pasta. Delicious.

End of the meal, manager comes by and asks how it was, I said fantastic.

When the waiter came with the check he said the meal is on the house and he hands me two vouchers, each one good for a free entree.

I'm under the impression that some of them are quite grateful if you don't put them through the worst part of their jobs (listening to whiney faggot who know you have no choice but to stand there and take it).

Why did you open the door to the stall and see the hairy man? Going in there to adjust your bra or something?

I walked into the bathroom, which requires opening a door, right? As I walked in to the bathroom, I saw that a stall door was open, and inside that stall, was a hairy fat man wiping his ass. Since the toilet is positioned facing the stall door, I was able to see the man. At NO point did I open a stall door.

I work at one of these places where the food is frozen, processed crap, and the only things that are fresh are the vegetables...and those are of a dubious quality.

I've only been there a few days, but I'm already looking for new work. I'm not a good cook, and I'll never pretend to me, but the bland crap that we shove into the mouths of tweakers, old people, and drunks makes my skin crawl.

To make it worse, this is my first job ever actually cooking in front of a flat top, boiler, stove and oven. I thought the job was just going to be food prep and dishwashing, but I've been thrown in and given a crash course in premade food. Gravy from a mix, old fry oil, and worst of all, I'm not allowed to season anything, because old people for some odd reason can't stand salt and pepper, let alone some bay leaves.

I'm hoping that even though I'm kind of old to just be getting into the restaurant business, I can take at least my knowledge of using a flat top and get a job at a new restaurant.

So...I guess you guys can ask me what it's like working in this place. If you want. Probably better than some guy copy pasting restaurant reviews.

I know that feel. You bight into some mashed potatoes.
"Oh god, please let that be a stray piece of Capn Crunch and not a bug carcass" (even though they don't even serve cereal)

Story related.

> Long story short. Just sat down. Asked the floozy waitress for two waters. A cockroach crawls from under the table, up the wall, then across the wall about 2 inches above the top of greasyass napkin dispenser. It walks all the way across then goes back under the table on the other side. Friend and I turn to look at each other at the exact same time with a look of awe on our faces. My idiot friend says, "well that was a waste. He could have gotten from here to there quick by walking under the table". My respone, "I will be in the car".

How can you even bother to complain about that? Not like I would want them to bust out a can of bug spray as if it would make any difference.

> Drive 3 hours to a concert. Show let's out about midnight. All but the driver are still trippin ballz. Driver insists we honor hour agreement of free ticket + gas + dinner if he agreed to not get fucked up so that we could. Go to Waffle House. Place is completely slammed. We literally sit there staring at the tacky ass yellow tables/walls under the obnoxious lighting (I think WH was designed in the 60's by fruitcake hippies that thought the decor would be part of the morning stimulation experience. That's what coffee is for dickhead). Almost two hours until the waitress takes our order. They literally stopped taking orders until the place had cleared out and was half empty. All the while we are begging the driver to just take us home, we even offered to could up a 20-spot each to comp for the meal. He's all pissed that the show was absolutely spectacular, but he couldn't enjoy it "cause I wasn't high man" (no, u r not a phan, "man"). Even after all that, service is still slow. Food mediocre. Conversation is shit because these guys are boring as fuck. Highlight of the meal: after we are done eating, the fuckin idiot scumbag waitress comes to our table and says she would appreciate it if we could hurry things along, pay, and leave, because her shift is almost over. I guess she was concerned she would miss out on that huge tip she earned by leaving us to rot for 2hrs. My head finally hit the pillow at 6:30am

Tl;dr: waffle house, cockroaches brazen enough to walk right past you under bright light fixtueres. 2:45 to get a meal I could cook in 8 minutes.

> Indian restauant, owned by korean. Guy is very friendly. Staff is all mexicans, the really fresh kind that speak no english whatsoever. They are way to friendly. I sat down at the table, mexican guy pours me glass water and the opens up my napkin and places it on my lap for me. I feel a bit skeeved, but its OK.

> Place is always packed, they charge quite a bit more for everything, the food is mainly vegetarian based, staff probably gets paid in leftovers.

> I open the menu, a laminated card falls on the table: RICE NOT INCLUDED. YOU PAY FOR RICE. Not only tacky, but it highly annoys me to pay $3 for goddamn rice. A sure sign that they care only about your wallet.

> Order a diet coke. I've been drinking it by the 2liter for decades, I know exactly what it tastes like in all stages of decarbonation. Heat damage, old age, dropped/shaken. I can diagnose a mistaste. Same goes for fountain drinks. I worked around brixers for the same length of time and I can diagnose the funkiness when it happens. This shit was basically poured from a 2 liter bottle that had been sitting out all day. I look at the drinks prices: $2.75 for an 8 oz glass of stale diet pepsi poured from a 2 liter that not only has been serving customers since lunch time, but they didn't even bother to refrigerate it. Continue browsing the menu, see an $18 cauliflower entree.

> Pay for my disgusting pop and leave.

When I see a restaurant being cheapass bastards to that extent, I must wonder how they feel about paying those exhorbitant prices for things like soap and hot water. And what happens when the meat starts to go south? Immediately throw it out? Of course they do. And what about that slothful grocey store throwing all those expired vegetables in the dumpster?
