Oh No They Didn't!
See All Lists
1. AAA Recycling & Trash Removal Services
Back to back bad reviews? What can I say, I'm getting old and crotchety I guess. Or maybe in the case of AAA, it's just that dealing with my move this week has pinpointed several flaws in the businesses around me that have always been there. It's…More »
2. VA Department of Motor Vehicles
This place is just too damn annoying not to say something about. Because I've only been in DC for a year I haven't had the displeasure of seeing other DMV locations in this area, but I can only guess that they MUST be better than this one. The…More »

4. Mama Mia Too
Do not go here! I'm surprised there isn't police tape around this shack condemning it. This has to be one of the filthiest restaurants I've ever set foot in. It's an old house, and it looks like the people who own it haven't made any modifications…More »
5. Ozio
Let's get a few things straight, oh embodiment of all things shitty in DC:
1) As previously noted, you're in DC. This distinction should be noted quite clearly before we get into further points. Not only that, but you're on a relatively deserted strip…More »
6. Union Station Brewery Providence
Providence, RI 02903
(401) 274-2739
Neighbourhood: DownCity
Oh god what a catastrophic disappointment. The beer here is simply undrinkable! I considered giving them a 2 star for the decent sounding bar "snack" menu, which features a few creative ideas for just $3, but it's not available on Friday when I…More »
7. Capital One
Mc Lean, VA 22102
(703) 875-1000
This is the worst bunch of idiots I have ever encountered in my life. Piss off, the entire lot of you.
8. Kuma - CLOSED
Washington, DC 20016
(202) 537-3717
Categories:
Japanese,
Korean,
Vietnamese
Neighbourhood: Tenleytown
Just plain awful. We went out for 2 Amy's one night and then decided we weren't up for the 90 minute wait just to get some pizza, so we searched around the area for a suitable alternative. Seeing nothing else that really looked appetizing we decided…More »
9. Garrett's Restaurant - CLOSED
Washington, DC 20007
(202) 333-1033
Categories:
Pubs,
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Georgetown
Wow, this place is a real dump. Were it not for a friend's birthday party being hosted here I doubt I would have ever actually come to begin with, but now that I have I can actually point out to everyone how awful it is.
There are a number of reasons…More »
10. Sidewalk Sweetsations
I should have known when I walked up to this truck it would be a tragic waste of money, but my determination to partake from as many of these types of businesses as possible overpowered my conscience and convinced me to spend money with these guys.…More »
11. Boudreaux's Louisiana Kitchen
Wow, how is it possible for a Cajun place to have so little flavor? Everything here was completely bland, uninspired, and barely resembled the amazing food that comes out of New Orleans. I've seriously had better Lean Cuisines than what we ordered.…More »
12. Acme Bar & Grill
You seriously still charge a cover at 1am, in a bar in Annapolis?
I'm pretty sure the 2 guys leaving, as we were about to enter, who asked for their $10 back summed up our experience with you quite succintly.
You fail as a bar, hope your oysters are at…More »
13. Buffalo Billiards
Washington, DC 20050
(202) 331-7665
Categories:
Pool Halls,
Restaurants,
Sports Bars
Neighbourhood: Dupont Circle
This place has overpriced pints ($7 for shitty macro-brews, really?) and food ($1 per shitty wing), and horrible service. I repeatedly received drinks I didn't order (and was charged for), while Venu repeatedly ordered drinks and never received them…More »
14. Groovy DC Cards & Gifts
Washington, DC 20003
(202) 544-6633
Category:
Cards & Stationery
Neighbourhood: Capitol Hill/Southeast
I must have completely missed something, because I don't see the appeal of this shop at all. I stopped in while waiting to meet a friend for dinner and was totally underwhelmed. For a place that advertises itself as a card shop, the card selection…More »
15. House of Falafel Truck
Meh, not very good at all, but don't let my opinion deter you from trying it, since I have yet to ever enjoy falafel anywhere. They do offer chicken and beef shwarma here, along with gyros, but I figured if I'm coming to the House of Falafel (which…More »
16. Lasagna Plus
(202) 290-2397
Categories:
Street Vendors,
Food Stands,
Italian
Neighbourhood: Trinidad
You're better off just skipping this one, even though at $10 for their whole combo meal it's a decent amount of food (http://www.yelp.com/bi...) per dollar.
It takes a lot to uninspire me from writing a detailed review, if that tells you how bland…More »
17. Church and State
Washington, DC 20002
Category:
Lounges
Neighbourhood: H Street Corridor/Atlas District/Near Northeast
What the Hell happened here? We showed up for the Non-Rapture Party, expecting to have a devilishly good time, and wound up leaving incredibly disappointed with this bar. I was seriously lusting for one of their cocktails after seeing the list, which…More »
18. Prego Again
After a long and busy Monday, I was too tired to cook something at home, and didn't have the time to take advantage of the many great dining options around me, so after picking up a few groceries from Safeway across the street I really just wanted a…More »
19. CapMac
(914) 489-2897
Categories:
Food Stands,
Italian,
Street Vendors
Neighbourhood: Van Ness/Forest Hills
Waited in line for an hour to be serviced by the CapMac, and walked away with literally nothing. After making it up to about 5 people away from ordering, the lady in the truck walked out and informed us all that they had run out of food. I'm not sure…More »
20. Logan Tavern
Washington, DC 20005
(202) 332-3710
Categories:
Bars,
Burgers,
American (New)
Neighbourhood: Logan Circle
I wish I could say I felt bad for giving this rating, given how many times I've been to Logan Tavern (and probably will return), but after having one of the worst sandwiches of my life here I absolutely cannot go any higher than this. Normally, Logan…More »
21. Spiral Diner & Bakery
So as I was wrapping up my review of one of the most amazing places on Earth my wife pointed out to me that I am too generous with my 5 star reviews. I kindly pointed out to her that thanks to Yelp I tend to avoid places with poor ratings and…More »
22. The Burger Joint
Moving this down to 2 stars based on the number of other burger places I've visited since then that put out drastically better product for much less, in addition to the lameness that is detailed in this thread:

I don't get the hype at all. Went there this week and was completely disappointed with the food.… Read more »
23. Henry's Soul Cafe
This was a major disappointment in almost every way. It was supposed to be stop #2 on our fish fry crawl, but apparently I was one of the few people actually up for eating again (thanks Ruth for not leaving me alone in that department). So, not…More »
24. Austin Grill - CLOSED
I must confess I was a good bit hungover when we ate here, but I don't think that would have changed much of the outcome. It's a typical Tex-Mex style bar, with all the tacky shit on the walls you would expect to let you know that it's the real deal,…More »
25. Rocket Bar
I will definitely not return to this bar, ever. There are so many things wrong with Rocket Bar I'm amazed it has managed to stay in business this long in an area where shitty bars and restaurants close left and right.
The drinks are completely…More »
26. Roland's Custom Tailors
I cannot in good conscience recommend this place to anyone. While I'm sure the man I encountered working in this tailor shop was not the actual "Roland" himself, who claims to have 25 years of experience in the DC area, he was still the only one…More »
27. Saki - CLOSED
Washington, DC 20009
(202) 518-9820
Categories:
Lounges,
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: Adams Morgan
Because we had quite a bit to drink, and were extremely disappointed by the amount of food that was provided by Saki at the Elite event (http://www.yelp.com/bi...), we decided to hang around upstairs and order a few rolls before heading home for the…More »
28. The Rusty Rudder
I hate this dump. The only nice thing about it is the large outdoor area, which is pretty nice and unique for a bar of this size. You can even drive your boat up and get some booze if you like.
I will say my experiences with the Rusty Rudder always…More »
29. Amorini Panini Truck
Food was decent, although wholly unoriginal, but what the hell is up with the pricing scheme? $7 per relatively thin panini seems a bit annoying to begin with (considering I can get a pan con lechon from El Floridano for this price), but then when I…More »
30. Foster's Grille
After waiting with much anticipation...wait, let's start over, that's too strong of a word. After watching with some mild form of interest for several weeks as this place underwent construction, the wife and I decided to pass on the "Grand Opening"…More »
31. Laughing Man Tavern
This place is a perfect example of why using frozen food / ingredients as the basis for everything you do is an awful idea. Like pretty much every other review I only showed up here for the happy hour specials with Suzy, Sahar, and Amanda, prior to…More »
32. The Big Cheese
Yet another weak food truck launch. I've been putting this review off for a bit, after David K just barely beat me to the FTR as I was en route to a flight shortly after eating on their opening day. I was actually looking forward to trying them in…More »
33. Luxe Burger Bar
Providence, RI 02903
(401) 621-5893
Categories:
Burgers,
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Luxe is the shining example for when the whole of a restaurant is, to distort a famous quote, less than the sum of its parts. It's obvious a lot of money was spent on making this place look dazzling on the inside, and it seems like a blatant rip-off…More »
34. Brasserie Monte Carlo
We came here for brunch one day after seeing it touted as one of the best in Bethesda for so long. After the meal I'm not even sure it's the best on this street corner. The service was pretty much non-existent and entirely too "uppity" for a place in…More »
35. Salisbury Square Antiques & Collectibles
Salisbury, NC 28144
(704) 633-0773
Ughhhh no. This place is not for me. I guess if you live in Salisbury, and refuse to venture the short distance down to Charlotte then I could almost see how you would convince yourself this place is worth going to. But even then, you've got to have…More »
36. Jack Astors Bar & Grill
Toronto, ON M5J 2L7
Canada
(416) 585-2121
Category:
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighbourhoods: Financial District, Downtown Core
I really hated this bar. I have no clue what the food is like, nor do I care to find out, because they couldn't even get the bar part right. This place had the fortune, or misfortune depending on your view, of being just across the street from the…More »
37. Cans Bar & Canteen - CLOSED
I never could understand why this place was so popular. It's in a horrible location, far away from the rest of the nightlife in Charlotte. The majority of the beer they serve is absolute garbage. It's WAY overcrowded (again, not sure why), and…More »
38. Sonic Drive-In
Vidal wanted to come here to get some biscuits and gravy before he left "the South" in his attempt to fit in. As you can see it didn't work, he's still a hippy from California!
I don't remember what I got, but I doubt it was very good. Some kind of…More »
39. Eat Wonky Truck - CLOSED
If I eat at Wonky, does that make me a wonker? Because all of my British friends would find a bit of hilarity in that. Sadly, that's the last bit of levity this review will feature, as the Eat Wonky truck is a failed attempt at an almost decent…More »
40. Fuddruckers
I guess this review is mostly about Fuddruckers in general, with a few references to this actual location. I've been here twice, and each time it's usually due to my impatience with whatever predicament I've found myself in while in Chinatown and…More »

Recently updated lists from Justin C.
InspirAsian (49)The continent of Asia provides us with a myriad of wonders from architecture to cuisine and everything in between. There are plenty of lists out there targeted to specific countries and their specialties, be it Thai peppers, Japanese noodles, or Chinese dim sum. I decided to make this list to share my favorite places that have ties to any part of the region, because sometimes we just want a little culture in our life, and aren't sure what we want but we know we want something new. |
I Need A Drink! (89)These places are focused in some way on the one thing we can almost all agree on, alcohol! Whether it be wine, beer or spirits that get you going, somewhere on this list is bound to have what you're looking for. |
Crafty Cocktails (48)When I stray away from my love of craft beer it's more often than not because the cocktail list is so appealing I just can't resist. I really appreciate bars that come up with their own unique mixes, and here are some of my favorites. |
Fancy Pants (52)Get dressed up before coming here, as these are the "nicest" places you can dine or go out (with no consideration given in this list to the actual food and/or drinks). If you're not looking spiffy here you might get some stares... |
More Than Just A Spud (45)I'm Irish, through and through. Some may think it's a stereotype that we love our potatoes, and they're right, but that doesn't mean it's not true. We put them in, on, and with almost everything we eat, and we love every bite. Somehow though, some people have found ways to screw up this most basic of vegetables, so I created this list to glorify those who truly pay homage to the lifeblood of my homeland. [Note: This list is more than just fries, although it is heavily favored in that that direction, but also includes places that do homemade chips, or homefries, as well as just great all-around potato dishes. It's also attempted to be somewhat ranked, with my favorites at the top.] |
Tapas Teasers or Palate Pleasers? (9)Is it a great way to share plates, or just an inevitable money-sink that leaves you hungry after? The small plate phenomenon is catching on quickly as kitchens realize they can make major bank by giving you little portions, but some places excel where others falter. |
No Walls Needed (66)Like the idea or not, mobile food is becoming more popular every month in major cities across our country. The lower cost of doing business, partly from no rental costs and typically self-employed labor, gives us quite often some very unique food ideas at relatively cheap costs compared to your standard restaurant. If you're going to venture out there and have something different, I suggest trying some of these places in your quest for ultimate food bliss. |
Seattle Standouts (9)From sun up to sun down I was pleased with so many aspects of the month I spent in Seattle. It was easily the freshest fish I had ever experienced, and the creative genes are flowing rampantly in the blood of its chefs. You can see all the high resolution photos of the trip here: http://www.flickr.com/... |
Simply The Best (72)My favorite places to have a very memorable meal. If there were ever any occasion that required dining on the best food possible, I would gladly have it at one of these restaurants. These restaurants do something special to set them apart from just my favorite places to eat, they provide you with a unique atmosphere or cuisine that is above and beyond just good food. |
Brain Free Food (35)I have to think all day at work, can't someone else do it for me when I go out? Fortunately, if you eat at the right places that answer is a resounding yes. The "tasting menu" goes by many names: chef's table, degustation, omakase, prix fixe, wine/beer pairing dinners, or even a "grazing" menu. They all share one thing in common though, a reliance on the chef to feature their best dishes in order to truly highlight how they want their restaurant represented. [Note: I almost always order the tasting menu if it's available, but in some cases I want things that are only on the a la carte menu; therefore, I have included restaurants in this list that offer a tasting menu to make it easier for you to identify, even if I ordered something else.] |
