A fun food blog with restaurant dining disaster stories
I am not shy to say this is regarding the Bob’s B** B** restaurant in El Cajon, California. This place was an epic disappointment!! To start the hostess/waitress was very short and placed us at a dirty table when the whole restaurant was empty. The “kids menu” was a laminated black and white copy that you [...]

I had my 30th birthday in November 2000 and arranged to go out for a meal with friends and colleagues. We booked an Italian restaurant I had been to before and liked. There were 21 of us. The starters were fine, the main courses were fine. Service was very slow, but we were a big [...]

About 4 years ago, to celebrate an occasion when I was in primary school, we went to a local pizza restaurant. We had been here several times before and we were satisfied with the service and food. But on this particular night, we were shocked with the service that we were provided with. We had [...]

This happened back in the 1970s. I was working a summer job as a gas pump jockey on the New York State Thruway (back before self-service.) For the first few days, I went next door to the cafeteria (back before they became fast food outlets) for lunch. Then one day, the cafeteria manager came up [...]

I had my reservations about going to this hamburger restaurant in the first place, given the number of less than stellar reviews on both Yelp and FourSquare. As a social marketer I do my research on new places and generally think the crowd gets it right. But I figured, “What the heck, it’s in the [...]

I was the opening manager for a restaurant in downtown Washington D.C. many years ago. The restaurant was one of a chain that was very popular in the Washington area at the time. We opened at 7:00 AM for breakfast, which meant I had to get there at about 5:15 AM to open the store [...]

My daughter, granddaughter and I stopped in for lunch at the “Cafe A” in Lake Jackson, Texas. We had two gift cards, so we ordered a really nice lunch and then a big dessert. Afterwards we paid for our meals with the cards. The waiter came back with the gift cards and said the gift [...]

One evening my girlfriend and I decided to go to a local brewery restaurant that we had been to many times before for a romantic evening out. But what we didn’t realise was that a band was going to be practising their rock and roll in the dining hall next door. My girlfriend and I [...]

My friends and I once went to a fab looking restaurant while travelling abroad. The food was wonderful and the staff were super nice, and even better we were seated outside in the hot and sunny weather, so it was a perfect environment to eat. When we had finished our meal I decided I needed [...]

My mother and my aunt and uncle and I once went to a lovely looking restaurant while holidaying in Portugal. It was scalding hot so we ate in the enclosed area outside. A window was open that apparently was part of the kitchen. But no sooner had we sat down and ordered our food than [...]

I was robbed during BROAD DAYLIGHT at CB while parked along the sidewalk on the side of the building. When I asked the clerk to call police, their first response was “the same thing happened last week.” They don’t have security cameras in place to help catch criminals. They sent a letter saying they “aren’t responsible [...]
