1. Landini Brothers
THE WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. The 'owner/manager,' named 'Sofia,' is a COMPLETE JOKE. She has absolutely no managerial skills, has no communicative skills, nor does she have any insight of delivering any type of satisfactory customer service to…More »
2. Sunshine Café
Chicago, IL 60640
(773) 334-6214
Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhoods: Andersonville, Edgewater
If this is homecooking, then they should really reconsider in changing the definition. I don't know what god-forsaken tastebuds would be jittered by this place with their bland and tasteless items at some overly-hyped establishment. This place puts…More »

I know authentic Japanese food, and this place isn't all that's cut out to be. I was ecstatic to… Read more »
3. Meli Cafe & Juice Bar
Chicago, IL 60607
(312) 454-0748
Categories:
Juice Bars & Smoothies,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhoods: Greektown, Near West Side, West Loop
This place STILL blows - a trap where you get lured in with the overly-exaggerated reviews on the so-called 'quality' that people believe this place is serving - I would rather go to Golden Nugget for their consistent pancakes and solid breakfast…More »

This place is so overrated. Their breakfast/brunch items are not even that outstanding, and you can… Read more »
4. Full Moon Cafe & Grille
Manteo, NC 27954
(252) 473-6666
Categories:
Seafood,
Burgers,
American (Traditional)
This cafe was suggested by the B&B we were staying at, as well as the locals of Manteo. Why did I listen, I do not know. From the outside, this restaurant seems very cute. Inside, it was packed - a good sign, since a huge customer influx tells you…More »
5. Philly's Best
I call this place 'Philly's Worst.' The worst Philly cheesesteak. Ever. To think you can find a decent one in the city of Chicago? Seriously? C'mon. Shame on this place to chain themselves and to serve a Philly institution as a crap on a…More »
6. Iguana Café
Chicago, IL 60642
(312) 432-0663
Categories:
Creperies,
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: River West, Noble Square
This place was opened after our gross dinner at the Publican, and while the cafe itself could have been quite charming, the dessert items that were ordered was the total opposite. Apparently, their crepes are well-known here, but the Chocolate…More »
7. Sweety Pies
If this place actually kept their standard business hours (or the hours stated on their window) and not be 'away at lunch' or closed unexpectedly, I would have given them another chance. It's nice that they finally brought a bakery in the downtown…More »
8. Via Veneto Ristorante
This is a spacious restaurant, what you kind of don't expect from looking at it from the outside. It was cute, and the staff seemed somewhat happy to see you there. We were seated at a booth, which I thought was cute. The menu itself was…More »
9. Dalesio's
My husband and I were hungry, so we decided to drive around Baltimore to just pick a random place (without looking up the ratings, etc.). We found ourselves in Little Italy, and we knew we had a bad experience before, but thought, hey, we're hungry,…More »
10. Han Sung Oak Restaurant
NASTY. Possibly one of the worst Korean restaurants ever, while the service could have picked up the pace by the cute ahjummas, the food was downright disgusting. The kimchi pancake? What are you people one? It was ovelry cooked, thick, and had…More »
11. El Pollo Rico
No matter what everyone says, I still believe that Edy's Chicken or the Chicken Place in Falls Church is undeniably, hands-down, far more superior and more delicious than this place will ever be. The sauces are some watery concoction, the chicken…More »

Are you freaking serious? This place is a bunch of crap! Peruvian chicken my butthole. I should… Read more »
12. Pop's Italian Beef & Sausage
I would rather order the Italian beef from Portillo's (and theirs isn't that good anyways!). The beef here, which is supposedly their 'signature item,' was tasteless. The thin clumpy beef were quite dry, and the 'sweet hot peppers, raw jalapeno…More »
13. Beard Papa's
There's a Beard Papa in NY, and their space is more open and airy. This one seems like some ghetto little quick-e-mart store, with their cream puffs looking stale. Come on. 'Fresh cream puffs'? Yea, right.
14. Emeril's Restaurant
Quite possibly the worst dining experiences I've had. The manager of this restaurant is a COMPLETE JOKE - Emeril, you should try to find a replacement. The guy didn't even know how to handle anything in terms of customer service, dissatisfaction…More »
15. Mandu Rang Kimbob Erang
I really wanted to like this place. I really did. The little eatery is tucked behind in a lot, and they offer kimbop, mandoo, and jjol myun. The staff are friendly, and the food is prepared semi-quickly. It's small, and the fact that I was…More »
16. K-Paul's Louisiana Kitchen
I feel bad, because I think Chef Paul is a nice-looking guy. He seems like a sweetheart, and the fact that he changed the culinary of Louisiana cuisine, I thought his food would blow me away. As my friend stated, Chef Paul needs to get back in the…More »
17. Via Veneto Italian Restaurant
I thought that Amicci's over in Little Italy of Baltimore was the lowest of the lows when it came to Italian food - but, I was dead wrong! When my husband and I walked in, no greeting whatsoever. Our waitress was extremely friendly and in our face,…More »
18. Hibachi Grill & Supreme Buffet
Why we came here, I do not know. All I know is that the 'hostess' named 'Iztel' (sp?) was a complete dumba** - sure, it's a buffet and you can't really have high expectations or standards, but literally, she just pissed me off for being so stupid.…More »

I was surprised at how clean this buffet was - although there seemed to be many 'islands,' the food… Read more »
19. The Cheesecake Factory
McLean, VA 22102
(703) 506-9311
Categories:
American (New),
Desserts,
American (Traditional)
I got food poisoning from their Shrimp Scampi due to the shrimp being either spoiled or expired. Either way, the management seemed unapologetic, and was still trying to get me to pay for the offensive plate. Why this place always gets a ton of…More »
20. Tank Noodle Restaurant
Why is this place so overrated? Their pho is absolutely disgusting! If you want a prime pho experience, be patient and keep on looking in all the Viet Towns of the US of A (because I still am), or have one of your Vietnamese friend's mom cook you…More »
21. Sakoontra Restaurant
Worst Thai restaurant ever. Their chicken satay seemed like it was undercooked, tasted weird with the funky-tasting peanut sauce, and the cucumber salad on the side somewhat helped the dish overall when you mixed it all together but eh. The chicken…More »
22. Bakersville
This place is packed with older Korean ladies yakking out loud obnoxiously. The staff is quite inattentive to their patrons and speak to you like you're in elementary school. Their over-priced pot bing soo sucks big balls, and I'm not kidding. 90%…More »
23. Ba Le Bakery
Chicago, IL 60640
(773) 561-4424
Categories:
Bakeries,
Vietnamese,
Sandwiches,
Cafes
Neighbourhood: Uptown
First time for a Vietnamese Bakery; I've heard their hoagies are a must, but since I had already filled my stomach with food a few minutes beforehand, I thought my friend and I could give this place a try. Very packed and very busy, the staff were…More »
24. 'wichcraft
Las Vegas, NV 89162
(702) 891-1111
Category:
Sandwiches
Neighbourhoods: The Strip, Eastside
A sandwich shop that charges you about $10 for things you can make at home? Panera has better-tasting sandwiches, I'm sure, and shame on you, Tom, for having this place close up at 5pm. Really? So lame.
25. Ping by Charlie Chiang's
I would rather go to P.F. Chang's for Chinese than here. This place was overpriced for gross food - their specialty, the 5-Spice Duck had good skin and well-cooked meat, but it had no flavor whatsoever. The nasty watery sauce that came with made it…More »
26. Aja - CLOSED
Chicago, IL 60654
(312) 202-6050
Categories:
Sushi Bars,
Asian Fusion
Neighbourhood: Near North Side
I would rather go to the horrifying Sunshine Cafe in Chicago and eat their crappy Japanese food than come back here again. They 'mislead' you in thinking that they serve authentic Kobe Wagyu beef from Japan - the server stated that it's not…More »
27. Ray's the Steaks
My husband and I wanted to find a non-chain steakhouse, some place that had decent reviews, and also a non-frill restaurant. Based on the other reviews, this placed seemed like it was a family-owned type of an establishment, casual, and a place that…More »
28. Tommy DiNic's
What's up with the raving reviews, awards, and all the accolades on this place?! Seeing the lines wrap around one side of the market caused me to become extremely curious about their food. Apparently, their Roast Pork sandwich is a huge hit around…More »
29. Manna Korean Restaurant
This place was ridiculous. Off of Milwaukee, it's a small little restaurant in a plaza, but you need to drive a little bit further in. There were about 3 other customers dining in. We were to be seated by ourselves, and getting the menu was a…More »
30. Honey Pig Gooldaegee Korean Grill
I was excited to try out this place - I've heard that is was one of my friend's all-time Korean restaurant favorites, and that their samgyupsahl is quite amazing (the Korean bacon all marinated up in a spicy sauce). Supposedly, this is how…More »
31. Amicci's
I came here on a recommendation through a friend. The family has been coming here for years, and I thought, this restaurant must be a hit! The restaurant itself is located in 'Little Italy' of Baltimore. Finding street parking can be a hit or…More »
32. Gamasot
Why the heck would a restaurant that should only be focusing on soup add an AYCE meat special to their menu (and their tangs and gooks REALLY need some hardcore evaluations)? I highly suggest this place to focus more on the quality of their tangs…More »

33. Columbia Firehouse
The interior of the place was cool - exposed brick, converted from a fire station, etc. Our server, Justin, was also nice - seemed to be a little quiet, but agreeable. We started off with the Buttermilk Brined Onion Rings (the worst onion rings…More »
34. Peking Gourmet Inn
Sure, when you walk in, there are all these framed pictures of the manager, shaking hands and rubbing shoulders with celebrities, government officials, and some of our past presidents. However, while this place is supposedly known for their 'Peking…More »
35. T.H.A.I. In Shirlington
Why don't I ever learn from my prior experiences in not revisiting certain places?! Their shrimp Pad Thai was disgusting - the shrimp had a 'old water' taste, and you could tell it wasn't fresh. Not even close. Their 'fusion dishes' is ridiculous…More »

I am currently on a mission to try out all of the celebrity chef's restaurants, to see if they're really that good. I came here with high expectations to give my tongue a fun whirlwind ride of Tex-Mex cuisine, and it ended up being extremely…More »
37. Ho's Chinese Carryout
This place causes me to use profanity. Extremely bad profanity. From all the 'raving' reviews, you would think it was a decent Chinese joint. Set in Fairlington, my husband and I were a little skeptical, but from the numerous reviews on how it was…More »
38. Mamoun's Falafel
New York, NY 10012
(212) 674-8685
Category:
Middle Eastern
Neighbourhood: Greenwich Village
I thought this place was gross! The shwarma sandwich was disgusting - only fatty meat bits. At least the pita bread itself was warm, and the vegetables were somewhat fresh.
The falafel sandwich was alright. Nothing to rave about.
This only makes…More »
39. Charcoal Oven Restaurant & Lounge
Seriously? The service here was quite horrific. I was quite excited to try this place out since there was a similar one out in Galena - the whole retro-esque type of leather booths with a dimly-lit ambience and supposedly some good and hearty food.…More »
40. Po Siam Restaurant
Possibly the worst Thai restaurant I've been to. Sorry, kids - nothing beats the Royal Thai back in Chicago (or in Orlando - the name being only a coincidence). The 'Noodles of Drunk' had a weird sweet spicy kick to it, and after a couple of bites,…More »
