Resaurants to avoid, and why.

Ok, we've all had a bad experience at a restaurant, and for many of us it has led to a strong desire to never eat there again. Why keep this information to ourselves when we can share it for the greater good and possibly save someone from a bad experience? Plus the stories are often gross and make people think of them when they eat there. hehe

Ponderosa

I will no longer eat there because while we were there they had multiple power outages in clear weather, leading me to question their refridgeration. Also, there were cockroaches around the buffet, and one on the buffet. My mother-in-law pointed this out to a worker who intended to do nothing about it and tried to walk away, leaving the roach on the green beans. We promptly packed up and left, never to return. An e-mail to the local news got us nothing, and the health inspector sent a form letter that several restaurants were under investigation and our claim was noted. Ponderosa is still there.

I try to forget the few years of my life spent behind a fast food counter or over a grill when I go out to eat. Out of sight, out of mind. I'd hope that things have improved in 12 years.

i've only had one bad experience at a resteraunt... and it made me wanna go back there more actually

at the olive garden a hot waitress spilled a glass of water on my lap... i got a free meal out of it

Well Duh! I don't like eating at places where a crap load of nasty people
that you don't know are grabbing food with their hands. Buffets make me
sick at times. I mean honestly. I don't even like to use the silverware at
Restuarants, because it just makes me wonder where's it's been and if it
has been properly cleaned.

Now there is this one Chinese Buffet in my town that is really clean and
small, so I like to eat there.

I can second that.

Mimis Cafe, found a caterpillar in the salad. I try to stay away from buffets and fast food. The cost, health reasons by just eating the food, and health conditions on the business itself.

Mad props.

Someone got a chicken sandwich at McDonald's once that had an abcess in it.

On a school trip in 4th grade, we all ate at a buffet, and 13 people were in the hospital with food poisoning.

Morton's Steakhouse

We had a group of around twenty people for New Year's Eve and the total check was around the two thousand dollar mark, but the food was horrid. Overcooked, wrong items, etc. Not things you should expect when paying that much.

And

Mastro's Ocean Club in Newport Beach. Mediocre food that is extremely expensive.
