Gf in college worked at a famous breakfast place that was kind of a dive. A guy was prepping tons of potatoes and cut his hand. He was too lazy to toss the potatoes, so he just patched up his hand and finished. After the bloody hashbrown incident she quit

>>16131642
Every menu item has some stupid name that gives no indication as to what it is. This menu has been trimmed down from what it was, originally.

>closes and reopens "under new management"
If they are advertising this it means that they are changing things, making a point of telling you. But my favorite diner got ruined this way, the food and service quality plummeted
>seats you right next to another table in a near-empty dining room
>tons of waiters standing around doing nothing
>workers are overly friendly
I had a date ruined this way. The waiter kept coming to my table the whole meal to make conversation and jokes and even tried making fun of me for drinking my sangria too quickly, so I didn't order another glass. He sat at a table facing ours and organized silverware the entire time, so every time I looked up at my date I'd be making eye contact occasionally with the waiter in the background. The place was empty and he could have sat anywhere else. I wrote a bad review and never returned

>>16131712
The date thing sucks. I once was on a date and the waiter was sweating profusely. Loved the restaurant, but we were so grossed out it was hard to eat. I couldnt get the thought of his sweat in my food out of my head

>>16131753
Yeah this is the worst. I went to a really fancy restaurant where the waiter was very obviously taking some kind of stimulant. Talking extremely fast and sweating everywhere, it was fucking bizarre.

The place I work has a website where literally every piece of information on it is outdated.

The menus on third party delivery apps are completely wrong and outdated too

>ice cream machine broke
I turn 360 degrees and walk away.
This is 100% accurate tell you will be getting shitty service from lazy staff.

If your kebab place has a Full HD LCD menu with the "generic flames" background instead of paper based 20 year old faded pictures.

>>16131642
Look up. Dirty fans, light fixtures, vents, etc., are indicative of inattention to detail.

>>16131712
>He sat at a table facing ours and organized silverware the entire time, so every time I looked up at my date I'd be making eye contact occasionally with the waiter in the background.
He wanted the D.

>>16131642

Too big of a menu.

The exception to this rule are Greek diners/Coney Islands.

>>16131852
coney islands?

>>16131852
>big menu
IMO, this is more a yellow flag than a red one. It usually means that they cook the protein and apply some sort of Sysco/US Foods stuff to make it different from the rest of the menu.

>>16131870
It's a SE Michigan thing (at least mostly I think).
Greek diners, known for coney dogs (chili dogs) and breakfast, but they serve everything

>>16131878
True, but you have to know what you're getting into. If the restaurant knows what it wants to be (middle of the road, serving a lot people), then that's not a problem. If it's trying to be anything else and has too expansive or broad of a menu the overall quality will suck.

Which is why I think the diner is the exception. It's delicious, greasy, garbage food and you know it going in.

>>16131830
Based Nørrebro-kebab

It's not really a red flag for a restaurant.
But I won't eat like an off protein from a restaurant.
Like if a place specializes in beef and chicken, and has like one shrimp dish. I'm not ordering it.

>>16131925

>>16131642
>menu only has like 12 items
I mean come on can their chefs really be that untalented.

>>16131852
this, This, and THIS. It's not a "big menu" specifically, but a menu trying to do too many things. Pic related.
Let's say you have a craft beer place, and you want food that goes with beer. Okay, you've got burgers, chicken wings, and pizza. All three of those are fairly cheap and easy to make, and can be customized a thousand ways each. No problem, stick with that.
Once you start adding tacos, and gyros, and pasta, and soups and shit, you're not doing any of those things well. Who the fuck orders a beer and thinks, "I really want some soup with this!" Chili, maybe, but stick with a small range of related things all done well.

>>16131712
That's the funniest story I've read in weeks.

>>16131642
>they're named after some pop-culture reference

Broad cuisine in menu and restaurant aesthetics. If i see alfredo and philly cheese steaks in the same menu i get sus.

>>16131852
There's a restaurant in Toronto called Veranda Osteria, it's got a giant menu, the interior is tacky, weird lighting. Everything about it gives me the impression that the owners dont care about a food safety, cleanliness, and I'd imagine most of the food isn't fresh. But it's the only place the rest of my family can agree to eat when I am in town. I always protest and list my reasons but they always respond, "BuT iTs GoT a BiG mEnU!!"

A waiter seated me and the chair was wobbly, I left without ordering

>see a group of waiters congregating around the bar
>they spot a table of customers who are in the middle of eating
>they snicker to each other "hehe... got one"
>they send out their top ranked waiter to them
>he dons the biggest, brightest and the most sincere smile possible
>the customers at the table notices him approaching, they begin to cower in fear
>they start to pretend to hold a conversation in hopes of avoiding the waiter's wrath
>"Hello my dear patrons..." the alpha-male waiter loudly yet gently interjected, still smiling
>the customers at the table jumped up with a start, immediately silenced themselves
>"How'd you..."
>their heads are stiffly affixed downwards, cold sweat starts forming on their foreheads,
>"Find your..."
>the cold sweat starts to drip down onto their plates, one is trembling in pure, undistilled fear
>the entire restaurant has their eyes glued to the whole ordeal, waiting with baited breath
>the smile that the waiter was wearing turned into a monstrous grin as he uttered the finishing blow
>"Food?"
>the entire restaurant gasped in unison; they cannot believe the brutality of what they have just witnessed
>the trembling customer at the table collapses into a coma, but he was so scared stiff that his body is still in the cowering position
>the other one, who barely survived, slowly cranked his head from the plate of sweat towards the waiter
>"I-it was v-very g-good..." he managed to mumble with his food-filled maw
>the waiter's smile turned gentle, and he beamed "I'm glad to hear it sir!"
>as the waiter raised his head from the table, the other customers in the restaurant immediately lower their heads and avoid eye contact
>the waiter strides back triumphantly towards his circle of friends, who are jeering at the customers at the table and looking for their next set of victims

>>16131642

>>16132198
Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville is actually pretty fun place, but he owns them. I know your pic got litigated by Senor Buffet once or twice

>>16131676
I counter this one. Have you ever gone to McDonalds and order two beef patties, lettuce cheese onions on a sesame seed bun? No. It’s called a Big Mac.

It’s just restaurants trying to come up with their signature dish. Yeah I get your point, I’ve gone to diners at night and struggled shitfaced and I’m reading between the difference in a Elvis Presley wrap, a Michael Jordan kebab and the Donald Trump burger. But naming it catchy things makes people want to try it.

I literally just went to Outback to try the blooming onion

Had a bartender decend into literal madness through a period of half a year. She would start talking to herself, then full on conversations with gestures, all during service as well. Culminated during a “conference week” when all the major banking entities were in town for something, place was bought out and making mad fucking cash. But we were also short staffed so the bartender had to pull a double shift.

She ended up cursing me out, slapping the manager then being restrained by the assistant manager, trashing the bar, and cops were called to haul her away. This was during the buy out service. The restaurant didnt charge them for that service and everyone lost out on a fat bonus.

>walk in
>smells like old parmesan or dish water
>360 and walk out

>>16132686
Plenty of great local burger or bbq joints out there.

>>16131793
if its mcdonalds, apparently its a conspiracy to cuck franchise owners into stupid repair bills... kinda sad actually

Yeah the specific model of Taylor ice cream machine has a vague diagnostic readout and makes every failure a service call because Taylor's revenue is 25 percent service calls. There's an third-party addon you can buy and attach to the machine for a wayy better diagnostic and self repair but the dude who makes it is getting bullied and threatened by Taylor lawyers. Fun times in late stage capitalism.

>>16133059

>>16133144
Why does a company like McDonalds allow their customers to be fucked around like this?

>>16132420

>>16133089
Never heard this. I always assumed it's just like anywhere else with any type of heavily used and somewhat complicated machine and it has a long and annoying cleaning process that wagies try to get done as early as possible and don't want to have to do again if they already did it two hours before close. Heard this from a couple people who worked at other fast food places. At the deli I used to work for the auto-slicer was similar, but we could just do large orders by hand so we never turned anyone away.

>>16133262
cont.

They normally say "down" not "broken". People assume they're broken and the wagies would rather you think that than complain to corporate that they were doing their closing procedure ahead of time (like everyone in every job does).

>>16132504
I've actually eaten there. fucking horrible.

>>16131712
did you go to the vesuvio?

One of the best parts of living in Japan is that I can't recall ever having a bad restaurant experience. A few mediocre ones, but never bad.
Can't say the same for the US. My wife kept seeing Applebee's commercials and her coworkers kept talking about going there for lunch or after work. I kept telling her it was crap food for fat rednecks. She begged me to take her there, so I did. We ordered something from a two for $25 menu or similar. Two bites in, she put her fork down and said "It's just salt. It's horrible." (And Japanese food is pretty salty, so that's saying something). I gave her the "I told you so" eyebrows, put my fork down, and asked for the check.

As for OPs question? The dining area has an average age over 50 or under 12.

nonsense, best kabob/shawarma place in town opened a brand new place with that style menu.

granted, there are no flames but there are rotating pics of the menu items on one of the ~8 TVs

>>16131642
>Indian restaurant jam packed with whites from the suburbs and not a pajeet to be seen except in the kitchen

>>16131995
Definitely. Similar to ordering pizza at a Chinese restaurant. Get what they specialize in, that's obviously what will be best.

>>16133067
true, but they're few and far between. ever since moving to a big city, the quality of service has tanked and prices have spiked but the quality of food and range of restaurants was so much better than the same old 3 or 4 places in a small town.

>>16133157
lurk moar faggot.
this isn't surface level on the joke iceberg. shame on you.

>>16132759
If these menus had pictures it wouldn't be a issue. Even if McDonald's pictures aren't exactly accurate it does give you a idea on what you will be getting.

>>16131642
I always know I'm going to have a terrible time at a restaurant if they're so busy I have to wait to get a table

>>16131766
Food service community does coke like a fucking train conductor

>>16132759
I'd agree, up to a point. McDonald's can get away with calling two beef patties, lettuce, cheese, and onions on a sesame seed bun a "Big Mac" because it's an internationally known chain and everyone knows the jingle. For some chicken-and-waffle place in a Chicago suburb, though, it just sounds confusing and pretentious. I feel like they should establish themselves as a restaurant, first, before selling the gimmicks (I live nearby and they were pushing this shit while still "under construction" and only offering take-out, because their dining room wasn't finished). For an established chain, absolutely, though. I've never been to Taco Bell, but I could tell you what a "chalupa" and "Crunch Wrap Supreme" are.

>>16132728
It feels like they told all their friends that they were opening a restaurant and promised to "name a dish after you", so we get this crap.

>>16133782
>Indian restaurant jam packed with whites
What if you live in an area with an overwhelming white majority?

>>16132725
Not soon enough. This might be funny as a thing that you said to your friends, one night, but that doesn't mean that it belongs on a menu.

>>16134034

I was working at Boeing when the cafeteria contract was renegotiated...
Aramark was dropped,
Sysco took over.
Food quality dropped, portion sizes shrunk, prices went up...
It actually caused me to start packing a lunch again, did save me about 10 minutes of lunch break.
as forced to stop caring about it when around a year later Boeing hemorrhaged and I was laid off with 40,000 coworkers.

they get money in the workaround end. search on youtube for 'why are the ice cream machines broken mcdonalds' and there is a big video on it, it's really sad. it's the collusion of taylor and mcdonalds to screw small business out of more money on service calls.

>you can hear Spanish being spoken in the kitchen and it’s not a Mexican/Spanish restaurant
You've just eliminated half the restaurants in the country, the vast majority of kitchen staff in any given restaurant are Mexicans.

>>16135519
well, at least half of resteraunts are shit

>>16133992
all the customers are from the silent generation.

These restaurants filled up with old folks tend to have a nice atmosphere, but the food is always bland. Steamed vegetables, extra starchy mashed potatoes, no spice to anything at all.

>bad restaurant stories
One time I went to a new Chinese buffet and had to go to the restroom. I went to the urinal and flushed it and it fell off the wall so I went to a stall and the door fell down as I closed it. Then as I was leaving a gentleman of a certain persuasion tried to fight me because apparently his wife said that I called her ugly in the parking lot even though I'd been inside as they'd arrived and had the interaction.

The food was OK.

I went to a dinner that had like 12 pages of doubled row single line items.
It must of had like over 200-300+ things you could order. It was insane. I ordered a burger and it was absolute shit. There was also a small gambling room with slot machines which I have never seen before.

>>16137770
Maybe the establishment was more about the gambling than anything else, sort of like how some restaurants are really just bars that serve shitty food to get around certain fed/state/local laws. They probably have a bunch of crap in a freezer that'll appeal to a wide swathe of people and chef Mike takes care of it all.

>>16133782
>Eat Indian food
>Your shit isn't a painful spew of bloody, painful mud
>Call corporate to make a complaint
>Never go there again

>>16132759
I acknowledge your point but there's still a point where it's going too far. If the restaurant has a few special dishes that they want to showcase, fine, but the menu in >>16131676
is just retarded. Nearly every dish has some random ass name and most of them are unmemorable and undescriptive. Shit like "Tonya's Choice" has zero appeal and has nothing to do with the dish; you could give that name to literally anything. At least something like "Tonya's Triple Chicken" would actually pertain to the dish even if it wasn't that exciting.

>>16137781
When I said small I mean it had only like 3 slot machines and the whole dinner was normal.

>>16137828

When you walk into a restaurant and you are the youngest one there, run away. The elderly eating at the restaurant have lost their sense of taste and don't know just how bad the food is that they are eating.

it does involve a cleaning process where the machine heats the liquid inside hot enough to get rid of bacteria, while not scorching the milk, but the underlying issue is all the sensors in the machine that are there to keep the food safe are really pissy. if the machine is overfilled on ice cream liquid, it will throw an error code on the screen that doesn't mean anything except to a repair tech. other restaurants don't have the same issue as mcdicks becasue the one at mcdicks was designed between them and taylor who make the ice cream machines, and for whatever reason both companies want to shake down franchise owners for repairs instead of offering a functioning product. there is a pretty interesting video on youtube that was about 30 minutes long on this subject that goes into more details than i did

When my mother and older brothers were alive, we would eat in town nearly every Sunday.

At one Mexican restaurant we went to for a while, my oldest brother's wife ordered the spaghetti from the menu. The waitress gave her a funny look and said that nobody had ever ordered that before. She went and checked and came back and said that they didn't have what they needed to make it.

>>16137318
I believed this until

>Too big of a menu.

Very true.

A big menu usually means that some of the items on the menu probably have to sit around for a while until they get ordered.

Mexican restaurants often have large menus as well, but in their case, most all of their food is a combination of a small set of ingredients. So whatever you order, they probably have relatively fresh ingredients for it.

If you go into a Mexican restaurant that has an Italian section and a German section and a Chinese section, be careful.

A thread on bad restaurant reviews might be interesting. Even better restaurant reviews of bad restaurants that destroyed a restaurant.

We had one local restaurant that was really good until the owners sold it and moved back to their hometown. When they owned it, it was very popular and very crowded -- you usually had to wait for a table, especially on Sunday after church. They had a phenomenal buffet.

The new owners weren't nearly as good and didn't may much attention to health and safety issues.

It had a buffet that was okay. If you ordered something from the menu, those components that were on the buffet would come from the buffet.

One red flag was that they didn't have a sign telling you not to bring your dirty plate back for refills. As far as I know, it is illegal in every state to not get a clean plate at the buffet.

One day about ten years ago, a relative of mine was eating lunch there with his co-workers and they saw the manager take food off of a table that was waiting to be cleaned and dump it back on the buffet.

In a mid sized town, news of that didn't take long to get around and people stopped going there. We never ate there again after that.

The funny thing is that the restaurant is still in business. They must not make much because it is rare for me to drive by it and see any cars there at all. If you do see cars, it is generally 1 or 2 cars.

I generally won't stop at a restaurant if there are fewer cars at it than there should be.

But that's not a hard and fast rule. When I lived in one southern city, I would go to one restaurant that had good soul food. The place was in a part of town where you had to be careful and it always closed before dark. Not once did I ever see another customer there besides me who wasn't black.

When I went there to eat, I'd drive around the block one or two times to check out the parking lot and the crowds inside. If it wasn't relatively empty, I'd go elsewhere.

Only one time did anyone talk to me there. I was sitting there one afternoon happily eating my meal when a reasonably well dressed black man who had been sitting with two older black women walked up and asked what I was doing there. I told him that I liked the food, particularly the Shrimp PoBoy and that it was the only place I knew in the entire city where I could get a fried ham sandwich. He then turned around and went back to his table and sat down.

I never had any problems there.

I'm a waiter and sometimes feel bad how "to the point" I am in my service. I don't chill at the table and chat, or try to relate to the guests excluding rare circumstances. I just go up, greet you, ask you what you're drinking, take your order, drop your food off, check on you 1-2 times, and drop the check.

The way I see it, you are here to eat, not to make friends or small talk, and I will make sure your table is perfectly manicured and that you feel like you don't have to lift a finger. I will inform you on every aspect of our menu if you ask. But I'm not the type of person to try and manipulate you in a cringy way into thinking we built a "connection" so that you tip me more. The servers that do that at my job make less money and have worse scores than me and end up looking like a faggot to any well-adjusted normal person.

Thats a damn fine attitude to have. Some people like conversation, most don't, all depends on individuals but the worst service comes from overly friendly cunts that just don't get me my fucking food. Hell, if there's going to be a delay or if you're waiting on shit to bring out everything as a group, just fucking let me know. Went on a family vacation and we ate lunch at a johnny carino's, food wasn't bad but it definitely wasnt much better than prepackaged bullshit, and the cherry on the shit sunday was the dumb bitch waiting on us wouldn't even bother to fucking check in on our drinks or give us an update on why the fuck our food was taking so long. Best thing about the meal was the wedge salad.

If the resteraunt needs a sign reminding their employees to wash their hands after shitting, it means somebody made or handled food with so much shit on their hands, a customer could taste it.

Unbelievably popular on a Sunday.

Even McDonalds has cheeseburger, chicken McNuggets(yeah, they stuck the mc in there, but you can still guess that it's probably going to be chicken nuggets), etc. It's fine to have a signature dish or few, but having "quirky" names for ALL menu items is just tacky.

1. It's in the main square of a city
2. It has over 10 main courses
3. It prides itself on being the oldest restaurant in the area
Everything else can be kind of iffy to tell but these are my personal nopes.

Any good tips how to weed out restaurants with inflated reviews?

I find it hard to tell when 75% of all reviews are "5/5 good food, I had the X, worth a try" with a pic of said food. I don't know if it's just a normal variation of quality but plenty of such places have been from 1/5 to 2/5 (only rating the food). Bland food for above average price. I don't care to lower the rank if a waiter forgets something before you remind them or common shit like that. Reviews that go 2/5 "waiter didn't react to my double finger snap so I had my day ruined" are baffling to me.

When reading customer reviews for anything, you should ignore 5 star reviews, look at a couple 1 star reviews for red flags (if there are any), and focus on the 2-4 star reviews. 5 stars reviews are worthless, 1 star reviews are generally from people who were pissed off by something that may or may not apply to you, while people who give ratings in the middle tend to actually put some thought into their review.

it was just meant to be some pasta and sauce or tendies, but it looks nothing like that.

Seriously if you are a chef and someone orders a kids meal, make a fucking kids meal. You're not impressing anyone, and ruining dinner for the kid and their possibly hamfisted stubborn shitty parents that don't know how to raise children who will likely refuse to order the kid something else and let them go hungry or force them to eat this abomination that no child is ready to eat until the poor kid vomits all over the table and then the father, seeing the tsunami wave of puke approaching them from the other side of the table violently stands up to avoid the wretched overflow and announce to the whole restaurant "MOTHERFUCKER!"

does every town/city have one of these? mine's is a space in a fairly popular food court in a massive shopping center that's gone through a burger place, a pizza place, and a thai place in the course of like 3-5 years. All fine restaurants too, but I guess they just couldn't make it work somehow.

So that's the restaurant I work.
Am not a professional chef but with quite some experience.
Our menu is very simple and easy to prepare so I can do well even with not a full professional. Everytime we have plenty guests (Switzerland, we are back in business...), this employer thinks it's necessary to help me in kitchen and takes over the rotisserie/saucier.
That's the result of him "working" my job for 90 minutes..... you'd like some dessert?

probably. And I'd assume it stems from retards thinking "if it was me, I could have made it work." in my town it's a tiny shitty building that's been closed and reopened as a different pizza place 3 times in the last 5 years

In general: no, we have standard just as our neighbouring countries. But the boss is no professional, actually, the other chef is the only one in the restaurant with a diploma. Pic rel, the kitchen with the boss NOT around

Usually, it's that the rent is set based on some formula that fails to account for something specific to the site, and landlords would rather lose a couple of months rent than lower it far enough for people to meet it reliably. So the business struggles to make rent, the owner lives on minimal income while thy try to make it more profitable than its competitors (which is incredibly hard) gets pissed off that it's not working and closes the place.

Pretty sure that sign is an OSHA requirement, you should be more concerned if you don’t see that sign.

>Too big of a menu

This. So. Much.

Summer before going to Great Mistakes, went back to one of my favorite Chinese buffets inside of a south Georgia mall. Went to get my favorite beef and broccoli, start chowing down. I go for a sip if water and glance back at my plate. What do I see? A dead motherfucking fly. Granted the little bastard was probably attracted to the heat lamps and flew in at leisure because it was an open floor plan. I wouldn't eat Chinese buffet food again until recently, within past couple years.

Most diners i go to have an encyclopedia-sized menu. But i usually just order a burger or other diner staples so they end up pretty good

Tbh I'd extend that to working for mom and pop restaurants/small businesses in general. Corporations have never tried to fuck me on pay/guilt me into working for free/stolen tips/screamed at staff/not given a fuck about health and safety standards and have generally paid more.
Yes there are some small business owners who aren't terrible to work for, but they tend to be the exception rather than the rule.

I know that in the Chinese corporate world token white guys are a thing. Multiple single-location Chinese restaurants hiring white people to work the counter is something I've only encountered in the relatively small area I live in. The seems to be no logical reason for it. I've talked to the families running the restaurants, so there isn't a significant language barrier. Also, each restaurant has more than enough elementary school children there to work the counter like a normal Chinese place.

You know the place cuts corners if they dont supply coke products, pepsi is cheaper just so you faggots know. Expect shitty sysco food

There's literally not any other option. Name one succesful "le inbetween" system of government that has worked for more than 20 years. You literally have to pick an extreme and stick with it or everything falls apart. Sorry, kid.
