Worst takeaway/restaurant you wrote ever in

Mine was probably The Cherry Tree in Kilkee Co.Clare in the early '90s. It was just grotty as Hell. The place is long since been closed down.
What's the worst place you ever visited?

The title could be the worst sentence construction I ever did see.

ben.schlomo · 08-08-2019 07:38AM

I never wrote ever in a takeaway!

SeaFields · 08-08-2019 07:40AM

You could have wrote to them and explained.

I am very picky about food I cook myself but very low standards in restaurants so I rarely find myself thinking one was bad. I just take it for what it is most of the time.

That said however the new incarnation of Eddie Rockets simply called "Rockets" has to be one place I shall never return. Inflated prices for insanely small portion sizes. First time ever in any restaurant my kids got a kids meal and had to have a second one. And they are not kids known to eat a terrible lot anyway.

Was less a kids meal than a Toddler meal at best. A small toddler who already arrived having eaten before maybe. Then if the small toddler had a small tape worm - the portion might just about satisfy the worm.

KFC was 3 days into new job went with new work colleague ended up with food poisoning and 4 days off. Boss not happy

deandean · 08-08-2019 09:50AM

KFC (also). The only place I ever got food poisoning from. Never ever again.
In a lot of retail parks you'll see a KFC beside a McDonalds. McDonalds always much busier than KFC.

JohnnyFlash · 08-08-2019 09:51AM

Dinos in Terenure.

Deebles McBeebles · 08-08-2019 10:20AM

Any Subway.

Fast Eddies Carlow so fast didn’t bother cooking the food fully. ðŸ€¢ðŸ€®

Was in a Chipper in Edinburgh after last orders asked for a cheese burger

got a batter burger with a slice of cheese crammed inside the batter.

The One Doctor · 08-08-2019 10:54AM

Found a tooth in. McDonalds burger once, but I was feeling so bad that day that I didn't even tell them.

Boom_Bap · 08-08-2019 11:27AM

Ricks while sober.

The Camile in Santry delivered us the vilest food we've ever had. And that's not an exaggeration, I'm really easy to please and never not finish my food even if it's not great but I couldn't get that down.

That is what is known as a cheesburger in Edinburgh

I've had food from there and thought it was excellent. We couldn't finish ours because we were stuffed and had the leftovers for brekkie the next day

EDIT: I do recall a very limited menu though, and the kids menu was better

Ah yes - "Ricks". Potentially in any town, village or square in Ireland.

Care to elaborate where "Ricks" is?

For me, it's a toss up between Madina Desi on Mary Street in Dublin, or Supermacs in Ballina.

Medina hopped out a flavourless, salty abomination they called curry, along with some microwaved rice.

Supermacs in Ballina, cold food. Long waits. Unfriendly staff

EmmetSpiceland · 08-08-2019 11:41AM

Charlie’s on Westmoreland St.

Apologies, that would be Ricks of 24 Dame St in Dublin, the capital city of the Republic of Ireland, where every drunk from across the land ends up in at some point in their life.

k99_64 · 08-08-2019 11:43AM

Chicken express in Naas (years ago its gone now)

I had a burger and chips from Abrakebabra last week and it was actually lovely. Very surprised as the rap is that the food is crap in them. Well all fast food is crap, but that there’s was the work of Satan himself.

I was in one recently as well and had a pulled pork yoke, was actually lovely. Had a bite of one of the kids burgers as well and it was decent.
Herself had some veggie/vegan option which she enjoyed....but I wasn't asking for a bite of that.

Completely agree about Medina on Mary Street... how can something so salty have zero flavour. Shockingly bad food and weirdly it gets good reviews.

Babylon on Camden Street. Place is a joke, 50/50 chance you'll get a free punch in the face from either the owner, staff or security.. to go with your "delicious" food.

Have a look at the reviews on Google Maps for a chuckle.

ALL restaurant outlets on the middle tier, The Square Tallaght in terms of consistent dour staff attitude.

I suggest reading this thread with Benny Hill background music.
