An Indian restaurant (The only one for miles where I live in the midwest), had my usual vindaloo, and they had missed a bone when preparing the chicken. I bit down and it was jarring.

Otherwise it's an awesome place, and I've had some of my best dining experiences there.

I wasn't a dick about it, just explained calmly. Showed her by picking up the piece and showing the still-live spider. She wtf'd too.

Overall I'd still go back. Out of all the times i've been there that's the only negative experience I've had

Only a couple "bad" experience I can think of.. not really worth mentioning imo but here goes anyway:

Ordered appetizer sampler(this thing used to be the bomb- 4 bacon and cheese covered potato skins, 4 cheese sticks, 2 chicken strips AND an order of fried mushrooms + a big ass bowl of ranch for a cool $6.97, you could even trade items for other things like straight up trade the two tendies for an entire order of fries, onion rings, what have you.

>once, some of the larger mushrooms were still cold in the middle, they fixed it though

>also, the place kept raising their prices, the same sampler above now costs $8.97.. and it doesn't even have the mushrooms anymore, so those were both pretty bad


now for something a bit different..

>read how highly /ck/ praises cracker barrel
>decide to drive out and try it
>o shit this place looks cool, smells good
>o cool gift shop, ill check this out later..
>get seated pretty quickly, order tea, wasn't bad

>while waiting play with a peg game for a bit, kinda cool I guess
>see waitress bringing my food
>she sets my plates down
>aww yeah, im so hungr-
>... wait, wtf?
>looks over $7.69 meal as she lays the whole thing out
>two tiny dipping sauce-sized bowls of greens
>one small bowl of chicken and dumplings, looked like an amount you'd get from a condensed cambells soup can
>a bit bummed, figure it smells pretty good so dig in
>the dumplings taste bland, except for the chicken surprisingly, which was still a bit stringy
>green beans tasted flavorless, like they were steamed far too long
>greens were okay, but as I said before there were barely any there

Waited an hour for my pizza at some place I went to often, I was with my family. Ordered twice from two different waitresses, nothing.

My favorite restaurant for a while was burger king as stupid as it sounds but in my country there are like 12 BKs total so it was just nice to finally have something that's not fucking McD's.
One time i ordered an x-tra long chili cheese, pic related. It's just patties with jalapenos and cheese sauce, not much to fuck up. It was filled to the brim with fucking pickle slices. The whole surface of the patty was covered in pickles. I ask the dude behind the register what the shit this is supposed to be.
"Sorry, we ran out of jalapenos."
What the fuck. Did they think i would not be able to tell the difference? "hurr durr it's green slices this dumbass won't notice"

My favorite restaurant is a Sichuan chinese place but it is run by the owner's husband who is the most annoying son of a bitch I've ever met. He constantly bothers customers while they're eating and never shuts up. After he didn't take the multiple, overt hints that my gf and I don't want to be bothered we've had to resort to ordering take out most of the time. Lots of people mention him in their Yelp reviews. This is straight out of someone's review

>He stood by the table and talked to us the entire time! About his huge weight loss, his health problems, his love of tennis, his anorectal fistula for gosh sakes!! My date and I would have loved to share the meal in privacy...and the owner didn't have a clue.

Here's a couple more excerpts from their Yelp:

>There's a guy that works here evidently some of the other reviewers have run into. He's a *complete* dick and had no business in food service. Please fire the clown.

>I am writing primarily about the disgusting fat slob that always hangs around in the front. Get a job, dude. Else stop taking up booths and shoving slop down your gob while customers are eating. He fancies himself 'making the rounds' with customers, but all he does is make people feel extremely, extremely uncomfortable. Every time I go in there I see this guy farting around.

Once I was about to be served a delicious meal with my family, and the waitress trips, falls, and drops the entire tray of five plates of food on my lap. The tomato sauce soaked through three layers of clothing. It's a small family restaurant, only about 20'x20', and all patrons in the restaurant watched it happen.

They didn't comp the whole meal which made me a little upset. The waitress was a new hire, probably only 17, and she was pretty cute when she was apologizing profusely to me and trying to wipe me off with about 15 of those heavily starched, barely absorbent cloth restaurant napkins.

I think I handled it very well, I couldnt do much but laugh when it happened.

It was embarassing, though.

Another time:

I was celebrating my friend's birthday at an upscale mexican restaurant. Both my and my friend Walter's meals came garnished with this small green pepper on the side. Walter said "I bet you won't eat that jalapeno." (He is english and a pansy.) So of course I ate the pepper. A minute later, my eyes were watering, and my entire mouth burned. Walter noticed me sweating and breathing quickly, and he said "You're such a little bitch, it was just a jalapeno." I said, "if that's a jalapeno, why don't you eat yours." He popped it in his mouth. About 30 seconds later, he jumped out of his chair and literally sprinted for the bathroom. He came out about 15 minutes later with bloodshot eyes from vomiting fire.

I guess they were serranos, or something.

I once ate sushi at this sushi place which I heard great things of, and generally thought it could be my favourite place cause the rolls looked very good and it was not the standard shit you see at the cheaper places.

So i order my food, some rolls and lose nigiri.
there was one other table taken and a second while I was waiting, so 3 tables in total.

I receive my first ordered roll and being hungry as I was started eating until halfway through the waitress brings another roll. So I ask her what is going on cause I figured something was wrong after taking my second piece cause the description and ingredients didn't add up.

"Sorry you got an order from another table, but you were already eating" I told her to take the other half back cause I ordered enough sushi for a meal and didn't want to over eat.

So then my nigiri starts coming in but I am missing things here and there and again received orders I didn't ask for. They took those back when I told them about it.

Now I must say the sushi was extremely nice specially for the price but as the night moved on I started to wonder how bad they would mess up my bill. I was a little angry cause there were only 3 tables, included mine being served and the other table was a group of 4 so how they messed it up I have no idea.

So I ask and receive my bill and see they charged me for the roll they faulty delivered at my table and have nigiri sushi billed that I never received. Better yet I didn't notice that last part till after and went back cause I was pissed.

I had a discussion with the owner who said sorry of course. Still had to pay for the extra roll but after coming back did receive my money back for the lacking nigiri sushi.

At the same time it was extremely good sushi, better than any other place that was affordable that I had gone to but the service sucks so much that I just never want to go there again.
