What is the most disappointing food that you've ever eaten? (or restaurant you've eaten at)?!


Question: What is the most disappointing food that you've ever eaten? (or restaurant you've eaten at)?
Mine was when me and a bunch of friends were planning to go to my favorite restaurant for lunch, but found out it was closed. The closest, okay-ish looking place was a Chinese Restaurant across the road. When we went inside, there was a weird smell and no other customers in sight. When we had chosen our orders, some employee plonked a bowl of strange looking greeny 'seaweed' soup in front of each of us that we didn't order. As for the toilets...you could probably guess the scene. (>_<)
We never went there again.
Another time was when my friend went to KFC and found a cockroach in the potato gravy. I got food poisoning but luckily she was careful.

Happy answering!

The "seaweed" soup was miso soup, made from soybeans. A lot of restaurants serve it first like that as part of the meal.

I agree Chucky cheese pizza IS bad lol, but I have had my share of experiences:

Brian Head, UT ski resort snack bar. I went in and asked if the soup was hot yet and the guy stuck his hand in it and said, "not yet!" This was the same trip where I had coffee at the lodge and there was a big glob of something brown in my cup and it was not coffee. On my way back to Vegas we stopped someplace else in UT and ordered something Mexican like enchiladas. When we got it, the whole thing was smothered in brown gravy uck.

Subway, Las Vegas near Flamingo and Arville. We walked in and the guy was killing cockroaches with the butt end of a knife on the table where all the food was kept.

But I think the worst thing happened at Spaghettini's in Seal Beach, CA, a very snooty restaurant. We had been to the beach or hiking and had on dressed down clothes. We promptly got seated by the kitchen, which was the most populated area of the restaurant. The people around me were either ethnic or obese. I figured the skinny little hostess had sat me in the fat section, right next to the kitchen door! If I was not good enough for people to see, then they were not good enough to take my money and I left. I was told I had eaten there before and I barely remembered it...so the food was not memorable anyways...no wonder they had skinny clientèle. Grr still mad at remembering the other people's faces by that kitchen. It was humiliating.

Asked to dinner at a friends a long time ago, about 20 years. Anyway she served up really bad curried sausages, I hate sausages, and don't much care for curry, pretty fussy vegetarian actually, anyway I had to be as polite as possible, passed the sausages to my ex-husband when no one was looking, and ate the rice



Got some cheap takeout from down the street. Walked home with it, and when I went to put it on the kitchen counter I noticed a giant millipede on the outside of the paper bag. Never ate there again.



They claim there's no such thing as bad pizza or sex. They are wrong. They've never had Chucky Cheese pizza. It was so freaking awful.



Cece's pizza is awfully disappointing:(



Mastana



most buffets, the food looks good but tastes so bland.



Plain steamed rice with salt...



eww the cockroach thing....



Pizza Hut... they had many strangles of hair on top =/



Several years ago I ordered a chicken salad sandwich at a Jewish Deli. When I lifted the bread to add pepper, bugs were crawling all over the lettuce. I showed this to the server and watched as she went into the open kitchen, removed the lettuce and brought the sandwich back to me. She got mad when I asked her to remove the sandwich from the table and from my bill.

When I got my ticket she explained that servers were not allowed to remove any charge and that I should address the issue with the manager who happened to be at the cash register. I explained the problem to him and the rude man said it would be removed but as I was observed eating the free pickles and cole slaw that I would have to pay a service charge of $3.00 to cover the food I did eat plus my beverage of iced tea. My final bill with tax was almost $5.00.

That was, of course, my last visit to that restaurant.



When In Mexico, don't order American or Italian Food.

I ordered Pasta Arrabbiata in a mountain town. That's 'angry pasta', for those who don't know.
I remember wondering why it was so upset. Then I got back to my hotel and puked for a good five hours.

We played it safe after that until I overdosed on Ceviche by the coast. Then I did the biggest mistake of my career, I ordered a cheeseburger.

I thought it would be great, I'd relive the Jimmy Buffet song. I was feeling a bit homesick at the time anyways.

With my homesick, the vial concoction with some strange Mexican Cheese and a poorly seasoned hunk of ghastly beef made my taste buds beg for death. In fact, I still deny to this day its right to be called a Cheeseburger. No, it was a hamburger con queso.
