Outback. Wife complained about never have eaten there. She thought the commercials looked good and she wanted to try it. I told her it was shifty. After several years, I broke down and took the harpy to Outback. Midway through the meal, she said we never need to come back here.

An Italian restaurant on the island of Rügen in Germany, that shall not be named. Some cunt was staring at us the whole time we were there, we asked the server, he said "oh it's the son of the owner"
We then continued waiting 1 and a half hour for our food because were hungry as fuck
seriously people were getting served and finished way before us.
Food arrives
The pizza was cold and salty, the noodles under-cooked.
never. fucking. again.

Went to a place on the outer banks one time and get cold food in what looked like a 50 years out of date bar. It was the only place I've ever seen with socialized cockroaches. Tied for first is a place in this nasty pub in london I went to and paid 8 fucking pounds for a pint (was not a full pint, probably only 3/4ths of one) of Guiness. Lesson learned never eat in tourist areas.

Got into a confrontation at Chipotle

They skimped me on meat (literally put like 2oz) I stood there and starred the guy while the next employee was asking what else I wanted on the burrito. I ignored her completely and continued to stare him while he was tending to the next customer. The girl kept saying "excuse me sir" but she didn't even exist to me.

This faggot knew I was bertstaring him hard and was getting nervous and shakey and didn't know what to do.

After he helped a few customers he could no longer help any more because the line was jammed up and my eyes were still locked on his.

Finally he muttered "ca...can I help y..you?" and while staring him directly into the eyes I pointed to the steak. He nervously grabbed the spoon and put more steak on and my eyes left his for a fraction of a second to verify it was the correct amount, then I continued to stare him while telling the other employee what else I wanted.

I never took my eyes off his while I was finishing up the burrito, paying, and getting napkins. I even walked backwards out of the store so I could continue to bertstare him. When I got into my truck I drove at a snails pace around the front windows and continued to bertstare him through the windows.

Pretty sure that faggot quit after that, never saw him again.

That's the idea. It's cheap and no one enforces open container laws; the Brew Thru is alive and well. Luckily it started sinking into the ocean before the gentrification progressed too far.

Why would a charter fishing marina serve frozen fish? Out of season, sure, but they have pounds of fresh fish passing through every day. The place is also lousy with seafood markets, and the only way to the mainland is by small craft or a long windy two-lane road.

Recently I'd say Beer and Burger Joint in Sarasota Florida. Normally I'm not a picky eater, but if the fucking name of your fucking establishment says fucking BURGERS then I, as a customer, are going to assume you can cook a fucking burger.

Well they couldn't, twice and I ordered medium rare. The place wasn't even busy, I just ordered a burger with fries and a beer...simple. Came out well done twice and I had to send it back twice...I felt like an asshole because I hate doing that. After the second time I wanted to just go into the kitchen and cook it myself.

I took it to go after the second time. The hostess and server were nice though. I dunno what kind of chuckle fuck they had in the kitchen though, because that person needs to be slapped.

There's a small hole-in-the-wall restaurant called "Charlie's Steak and Hoagie" by Fruitville and Tuttle, on Ringling boulevard. It's right next to Robart's Arena.

The service is a bit slow and they close at 3:00 PM, but holy fuck do they make the best cheese steaks/hoagies and burgers I've ever had, especially here in Florida. Their fries are also 10/10. It's out of the way so it's not super crowded, or filled with douchey flyover tourists.

An Italian restaurant in central Berlin. I ordered a lasagne, what I got was a light sprinkling of cheap, greasy mince between wafers of cold rubber in a pool of red water which was meant to be the sauce.

if the place involves you waiting in line at a counter then i don't think there's really any obligation to tip. even if the credit card receipts have the line, that's just the digital equivalent of a tip jar.

I have never waited less than an hour for food at any of my local MM franchises, even during regular restaurant downtime hours. Having worked at a comparable mid-tier pizza chain, I don't have a fucking clue what they're doing in the kitchen that makes putting a pizza or two on a table in less than half an hour so difficult.

A while ago some dumbasses tried to open a restaurant inside this derelict, out of business gas station/convenience store off a country road near my house. It was basically still a convenience store inside (they must have been going for "gas station chic"), like they left all the display refrigerators up and stocked them with sodas and beers in lieu of having a fountain machine or taps or anything. No actual furniture inside, just a handful of card tables and plastic chairs. They also had this tiny ass sign printed on something like heavy card stock that they leaned up on the roof, so unless you drove by it every day you would have never noticed the change.

Went because why not, it was brand new and super close. We were greeted by Steve Buscemi's literal doppelgänger, who quickly hurried us to our seats (we were the only ones there on like a Thursday night) and ran back into the kitchen. There were no menus or anything, it was weird as fuck. This toothy motherfucker then came back with his arms full of individual bags of Doritos and Fritos, dumped them on the table, and yelled, "Hillbilly appetizers!" This process of waiting a while and then having this dude burst out of the kitchen(?) with a heap of bizarre, half-assed dishes served on Dixie paper plates like "smoked mac n' cheese" (literally box mac with liquid smoke) repeated maybe three or four more times over the course of two hours. At the end the same dude, who may or may not have been doing everything completely by himself, came by and just said "$20 a head." Easily the most retarded dining experience of my life.

In retrospect, it's really funny because I think we were the only people to ever eat there because it was shut down three days later for selling beer without a permit.

It seems like it going theme is most Outbacks for people was pretty shitty. That includes the one in my town. It wasn't necessarily bad but way too overpriced for the sub-par food that I got. Simple chicken breast and vegetable dinner. Portions were tiny and all of it was Bland for like 18 bucks.

The only other bad food but I have gotten was at another chain called Cheddar's. I ordered salmon with broccoli and rice pilaf. The salmon was overcooked and whatever sauce they put on it was way too salty to where it was barely edible and the rice was undercooked to the point where it was still crunchy. And the broccoli was just Bland. My girlfriend ordered a chicken sandwich that had nothing but try ingredients on it with no sauces and the sandwich still came out to us soggy.

And although I have a huge stigma against Applebee's my girlfriend conned me into going there and as it turns out I was extremely satisfied with the one where we are.

And I can't believe I forgot the worst experience I had I just remembered it. I have posted it here before but here goes again.

It was at a Chinese restaurant I used to frequent that was really good when it first started up but it was slippery slope all the way down to when it closed. The final time I went there I had gone to the restroom to take care of business and wash up. When I went in there was a familiar smell through the air and it wasn't until I looked on the wall did I notice there were urinal cakes wrapped in some sort of makeshift wire harness and hung on the walls as air fresheners. I wish I would have taken a picture but it had me cracking up. That and next to the empty soap dispensers they just place down a gallon jug of Dawn dish soap too wash your hands up with. Other than that the food was just awful and the staff were really strange because they would stare at you the whole time you were eating. And upon exiting I could see into the kitchen and they had a roof leak dripping down into the kitchen right into different pots and pans. They closed down probably 2 months from then because there was a ridiculous amount of health code violations and while the inspectors were there they saw one of the waitresses scraping food from an old used plate back into the buffet line

This always happens like clock work. Somebody starts a chain, and over the years every board meeting is headlined by "How Can We Make More Money and Spend Less Money".

Thusly it's either shittier ingredients, higher prices or smaller portions...or a combination of the 3. Somebody gets patted on the head, gets a promotion and the trend continues. Any real cook knows this which is why you wont see any actual cook posting in any chain or fast food thread.

Friend and I went to this place in Washington DC one time (Comet pizza? Comet ping pong? Can't remember exactly) and ordered a cheese pizza. After waiting nearly an hour in the creepiest looking place I've ever been they brought us out three kids around six years old. We were pretty disappointed that they could fuck up such a simple order, and walked out right then and there. I called my friend John (who recommended the place) and told him they were terrible, and I don't understand why he goes there all the time.

Some interesting experiences ITT.

Outback ain't great, but I've never had a bad experience there. Always felt middle of the road, and the brown bread and bloomin onion were often very good.

Applebees and TGI Fridays are certifiably shit, no doubt about that.

I've had oddly great experiences at Chili's in college towns, and as >>8433627 noted, other shitholes know what they're marketed to.

I think I would say the worst Ted's Montana Grill in Atlanta for me, if only because of the price you pay. They pride themselves on serving bison burgers and bison steaks. Honestly, I didn't like the bison at all; I'm not a picky eater, and I'm always willing to try new things but it tasted and smelled rotten. Mentioned it to the server and they told me that bison has a unique flavor. Everything around it wasn't good either; the bun was cold and untoasted, the toppings weren't plentiful or good (bleu cheese was absolutely tasteless), and the price was insanely high.

Danish restaurant named 'Flammen'.
They pride themselves on having 15 kinds of meat on the grill.
Including things suck as, pulled beef and pork, brisket and most importantly spareribs, along with a salad bar and various ways of bad potatoes.

Both kinds of pulled meat tasted like tomato puré, quite an achievement. The brisket was chewy and tasteless, and jesus christ the spareribs, I don't know how they did it, but they managed to make pork taste like salmon.
There was absolutely nothing redeeming about the restaurant besides the interior decoration.
Oh, and it was $28 pr person, 50 cl of water was $7.

Sweet dubs.

Bison is very lean, like veal, so inexperienced cooks fuck it up all the time. It's actually extremely difficult to cook a bison burger or streat to a low temp while retraining flavor from what little fat there is. I'm not judging you and I don't know what temp your ordered but a rare, medium rare or even a medium bison anything will typically come out boring or bland.

It's a very weird meat.

Several years ago my parents decided to take me to some tiny Italian restraunt in the middle of nowhere that was supposed to be delicious. We got there at 6 and didn't receive our meals until after 11 (pm) and the restraunt only had 2 wait staff: a flamboyant gay guy who danced as he walked and a super old lady who couldn't walk without holding onto the chairs. The food was super salty and we ended up leaving after tasting our food. Despite how shitty it was the entire restraunt was decorated with outstanding newspaper review clippings and awards.

In my state you have to wait for the server to come around to get more, which means I only ever get one refill at most. And they switched to these stupid metal rings instead of actual baskets, meaning you get less fries overall.

I'm not. When I get fries (rarely) I rarely eat them all.

I was simply commenting on someone bitching about "waiting for a server" in general. If you have to wait for a server then you're doing it wrong. Stop waiting, go find one. That applies to whatever you might need, extra fries for fatties included.

Pea Soup Andersons in Santa Nella, California.

Right by the freeway but in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the central valley. I guess they used to be quite successful and very popular. The sort of place that earned it's reputation, and now has billboards set up hundreds of miles away advertising it.

Now it's just a tourist trap that gets away with highway robbery. Food was an abortion, prices were three times higher than what a competitor would charge.

Shame, because I learned there was a really great restaurant only another twenty, thirty miles down the road later.

When I lived in flyover land, they were all pretty terrible, I've completely lost track of how many places served a plate of deep fried garbage with "dipping sauces" and flourescent-colored "margaritas" from a slurpee machine. At this point I believe the slurpee machines now serve so-called "mojitos" but otherwise it's the same.

The best restaurant in town was famous for making its own everything. It was nowhere near as good as "the best restaurant in town" ought to be, but at least for the most part nothing was scary there, and it was the only place in town with edible desserts. The main reason I liked them was they served the house wine out of clear plastic cups, which seemed kind of like a "fuck you" to the locals who thought the cheesecake factory was fancy.

I went to my friend's restaurant last night. He wasn't there supervising so maybe that was the problem. It's usually very good. They specialize in seafood but I decided to try the burger because I've had a lot of their other entrees. I ordered it rare and the server said it was made of two thin patties but she'd tell them to do it "as rare as they could." I received a burger that was barely even warm in the center and literally gushed raw meat out the sides as I got closer to finishing it. Not particularly awful since the meat was good quality but not something I would feel comfortable serving at a restaurant. I ate about half before it cooled down too much to be enjoyable and then had to listen to my faggot well-done friends make fun of me for asking for rare because they didn't understand that rare and raw are two different things. "Just eat it dude you got what you wanted hahahahahaah"

The fries were like 20% whole fries and the rest were tiny little fried to a crisp potato chunks. What I'd imagine the bottom of a 20 pound basket of french fries would be like.

Not my problem. However, serving incorrectly prepared food becomes my problem very quickly.

If I don't tip the waiter, they still get paid at least minimum wage, and that money comes out of the restaurant's bottom line. This makes sense if my experience was not good.

To go to an extreme, if you had two order for burgers, and the chef handed out a burger on one plate, and a small pile of Nerds™ candy on the other, would you bring that to the table?

It's one thing if you have no way to tell if the steak is medium or well done just by looking, but entirely another if the meal is clearly been botched and you bring it out anyway.

Trump Grill on a trip to New York, hands down.

Wait forever to be seated in tacky, weirdly lit nook.

Beer is tiny for seven or eight bucks. Girlfriend's martini tastes like rubbing alcohol with brown sugar thrown in it.

Salads super cold and mushy. Girlfriend has the infamous taco bowl. Just okay and way overpriced. (This was in 2014 before the braindead Cheeto got into politics).

My filet mignon looks fine on the outside. Cut into a gelatinous mess of blood inside. So fucking disgusting I eat two bites and prepare to go.

Just as we're leaving, another couple talking to the manager gets their check back. The older manager takes the black and gold leather folio, slams it down on the table, and tells them very loudly to get the fuck out of they're going to waste his time whining like it's McDonald's.

I left totally disgusted. But the sick feeling in the pit of my stomach didn't start until about two years later, when I realized Donald Dumbfuck might actually make it through the Republican primary.

I'm scared for our country and my stomach. I don't care what "crooked" Hillary did. She never committed one goddamned culinary sin after another. A man who can't run a simple steakhouse is unfit to be President.

The worst restaurant I ever ate at was in San Luis Obispo. It was Christmas day, so there was literally nothing open downtown, obviously. I wandered until I managed to find the only thing open - a cafe of some kind. It looked pretty comfy, so I went in, and found nobody there. The initial view was completely incorrect - all of the furniture was torn and ragged or wooden, and was relatively cramped, despite no one else being in there. I went to the counter and behind it was a crude mural of a giant tree, along with various animals and children. I kinda stand there for a bit, looking for anyone, until finally I heard some people laughing outside. I ask hello, and a guy who looked like a 5'3" ZZ Top member reeking of weed comes in. He goes "Hey man...you're our first customer today. Welcome." I mention that it's Christmas, and he says "Woah..." and yells outside "Hey guys, did you know that it's Christmas?" And he wanders outside - before taking my order. He eventually comes back in and says "alright man, what can I get you?" He had to point to the menu for me, as it was hidden behind a jar of walnuts, for whatever reason.

Looking through, nothing was appetizing. I eventually settled on a bagel with pesto on it and a "fresh juiced carrot juice" at my server's suggestion. He nods, walks over to the fridge, and pulls out a container of this thick orange liquid from under the counter. The carrot juice had been sitting out in the open for god knows how long. I take a sip, try to stop myself from gagging, and thank him.

I sit at a wooden picnic table, taking occasional small sips from my carrot juice, waiting for my bagel to come. It took about 20 minutes, and when I looked to see what he was doing, I noticed he grabbed one of those pre-made bagels that you can buy in bags from the gorcery store and gave that to me. The pesto was actually fine, from what I can remember, but otherwise I had just paid $4 for a shit bagel.

When he brought my stuff, though, he sat at my table without asking, and started talking to me about "the tree of life" and how "the burning bush was like, ganja, man." He told me about their faith, how they combined Rastafari and Christianity into one faith, and how all religions are tied around ganja. "Like, Shiva? She smoked weed man."

Now I'm a sheltered 12 year old, I'd never tried weed or even heard of ganja, but I'd seen a few Cheech and Chong movies so I kind of knew what he was talking about. I just kind of nodded and downed my bagel as fast as I could, hoping to get out of there. The carrot juice, though, was plaguing me, and he kept asking me how the carrot juice was. Eventually, he went to the back again to engage in a religious experience, and I was going to run and escape - but I realized just how thirsty I was. I didn't know I could get water on the train. So instead of leaving, I looked for anything, ANYTHING to make the carrot juice taste better. I found a bottle of artficial syrup on their coffee condiment counter, squirted it into the carrot juice, and stirred furiously, until it was capable of being drank, at which point I slammed it down.

I got out of there without talking to them again. Went I went off to college, I talked to a friend of mine who lived in SLO, and he said he remembered that restaurant very vividly, because the first thing his dad said upon walking by the restaurant was "those faggots are gonna go out of business." It didn't take long to happen after that.

Robertos.
I don't know why the guy that owns it keeps it open when he makes a shit ton off of his grocery store tortillas anyways.
You can tell that the guy doesn't care anymore since the restaurant was pretty much in disrepair and the servers did whatever they want, to the point where it took like 30 minutes for them to get to us despite there only being two other filled tables and three different servers being there. When we finally got to order, the server genuinely seemed mad that we were there, because she actually had to do her job. When we got our food it tasted like microwaved or canned crap.
Never knew that I'd manage to find a new worst mexican food restaurant here this late in life, especially since Robertos wasn't that bad before, I don't know how the place is still open considering it's in New Mexico, unless Roberto sinks his tortilla sheckels into keeping it open.

Some cheap sushi place run by a Korean guy in a rural town.

>wrapped so poorly that it came apart the second a piece was moved
>miso soup tasted like boiled boot water with those diced canned mushrooms thrown in, cold

And the whole experience was bad. It's a shafty looking place, no one ever in there. Half the shit on his menu, he didn't have the stuff for. Once we finally got our order in, he started by opening his laptop beside him and playing "Work" by Rihanna and singing along. And when the song would end, he would stop what he's doing to start the song over again and again until our "food" was done. THEN, while we were eating, he wouldn't shut up, trying to sell us on his wife's cleaning service and trying to get our numbers to contact us about it.

I've never had a more uncomfortable eating experience, and that's including the time my girlfriend and I got caught having sex by my parents back in high school, then having to eat supper with her and them.

As a leaf, there is no fucking reason for us to tip. Most waitresses/waiters make more than minimum wage, especially at nicer restaurants. Yet tipping culture is still stupidly huge here, and we look like penny-pinching dicks if we don't leave our server a $10 at least.

I respect and accept your culture, but I still loathe unbridled turbo-capitalism. I cannot accept a system where it is legal to pay people less than minimum wage, because customers are expected to bridge that gap. The restaurant should pay their staff in a fair manner and put the prices required for that on the menu.

Fuck Prussia. My paternal grandmother was from Königsberg, but other than that, Prussia was a state and identity that truly deserved being wiped off the face of the Earth. It is responsible for extreme German nationalism and imperialism and basically for everything that we still get hate for today.
