What foods or resturuants make you scream GROSS!? (3 Viewers)

My daughters love it, and it's always crowded. I don't get the love for Chipotle. They must have good site selection.

Yea, every chain has been mentioned at this point (except Farm Boys maybe?).... the only ones that should be considered overrated is something that someone has defended.

Oh, and the worst ever is some ####ty place that I've only seen once back in the 90s called "Hot and Now".  Worst burgers ever, BUT I think they were like 50 cents a piece, maybe less.
They were pretty bad, but getting high and grabbing a couple Hot and Now was a staple in high school 

 
This might just be a Michigan thing, but when I first went there in 2008 I noticed a crap ton of restaurants called "Coney Island", including one by my in-laws house.  After a few trips to Michigan, I finally broke down and was excited to rush into a Coney Island and order a dozen plus of what I assumed was their signature item - the coney dog.  Added chili, cheese and onions to a few of them.  Got my order, raced back to the house, distributed the coneys and.....was completely underwhelmed.  To the point where I ended up throwing the rest of mine away.  I wouldn't feed this flaming doodoo mess to an animal.

Also, I went to Popeyes earlier this month and ordered their Chicken Po-Boy.  Tasteless and bland.  Didn't really appreciate the diahreah the next day either.  I remembered Popeyes fondly from my days in the south, but it sucks up here.  Least, that sandwich sucks.

Never come back 

 
Overrated:

Tim Hortons (sorry canada)

Also overrated:

Dunkin Donuts (sorry racists... I mean m#######s)
Dunkin Donuts is easily the worst roasted coffee I've ever tasted.  Surprised east coast people put up with that weak crap.  Thought they were 'hard scrapple' folks, but that coffee is worse than Folgers.

It's terrible, terrible, terrible, and I can do nothing as a Northeasterner but apologize for it.

3 piece with a biscuit and red beans on the side.  Can't go wrong.

 
Not sure how taking a natural casing dog and slathering it in chili, mustard and onions is f'ing it up.  2 of those and a plate of chili cheese fries is one of my favorite lunches 
Maybe the ingredients they use are from the Alpo factory?  It reminded me of the food I got in my elementary school.

There are good coneys and there are bad coneys.

A "Coney Island" restaurant is not a chain, where you can expect consistent food. Since the words "Coney Island" weren't trademarked by the first guy who called his restaurant such, a ton of copycats called their new coney dog restaurants by the same name. The result is the food at a "coney island" can range from good to bad depending on the owner. 

Sounds like you went to a bad one. 

Check out two different coney islands that have existed side by side for decades

They're pretty much all the same

I agree. I'd say it tastes lime dirt, but that would unfairly malign dirt. 7-11 is better. McD's is way better

DD is flat garbage.

 
Bite your tongue.

In Michigan alone there is Detroit style, Flint style, Jackson style and Kalamazoo style. None of which are anything like Cincinnati Style. And let's not even bring up Texas style. 
True.  I really only recognize the Detroit style and any of the big chains like Leo's, National, Kerbys, Senate are all basically the same to me.  I've seen some variance in the Mom and pop type places but never really had a bad one 

 
Thanks to this thread I went to Chick-fil-A for lunch.  The waffle fries are my favorite of any fries and dipped in BBQ sauce are awesome.

 
As an Ohio State fan who loves to go deep into the anti-Michigan rivalry, even I have to admit Michigan kicks Ohio ### when it comes to coney dogs. 
"No, g*dd*mmit! We do NOT pull in and fill up. And I'll tell you exactly why we don't. It's because I don't buy one g*dd*m drop of gas in the state of Michigan! We'll coast and PUSH this g*dd*m car to the Ohio line before I give this state a nickel of my money!" - Coach Hayes

He never spoke publicly about his love for Detroit style coney dogs. True story. 

 
All major chain pizza that has delivery is much worse than a frozen pizza.  

Normal fast food can vary big time simply on the location.  

As for the Chick-fil-a, politics aside, they have the best employees and food quality over other chicken places of that type.  Having said that there is no better fast food chicken than Popeyes.  Unfortunately they sometimes fry shrimp and chicken in the same oil so after a mild reaction eating there I can't eat there again.   :kicksrock:

Frozen pizza is horrible, and some chains have decent pizza.

really no reason not to make your own pizza at home.  I understand if you don't want to make the dough, then go buy a .99 dough ball at the supermarket or trader joe's.

make a no cook red sauce which takes 3 minutes.  toppings, oven at 450-500 and Wa La.

also, Sonic is garbage.  all of their food is identical, they just serve it differently and call it something else.  Hard to find anything not fried.  I hate the ordering bays and the drive thru window is like watching paint dry.  The employees look like they get picked up daily at the 7-11 parking lot.

We usually do make our own pizza, but frozen is very bad. Sonic isn't good, but it is better than Culvers.

Buy fried chicken from Popeye's. Not sammichs.

I lived in NH from the mid 90's to the early 2,000's and Dunkin Donuts coffee is like crack up there. I'm not a coffee drinker but every morning they had about 20 cars in the drive thru.
