I liked Sakura Express personally, I ate there a lot as a freshman but probably just because it was easy walking distance.

you dont ever have to go to a restaurant to find out it's bad. just assume it is and never go. if youre worried its bad in the first place, it certainly wont wow you, so youre not missing out on anything


also, sometimes you just want a bunch of pretty good chinese food. and i'd rather do that for cheap than for like 13.00 at pei wei or peace china

That's the most retarded thing I've read in at least a week...

I've been to some places that look like they'd be great and suck a rancid donkey ball, and others that looked like hell and the food was great

You should write a book about your very important restaurant protocol and how people talking on the internet about shitty food gets in your crawl.

wtf is a crawl?


and exiled, some of us don't judge books by their covers. i read a menu, and if it sounds shitty, i never go. it's simple. (judging a book by the mini-books they have inside)

I used to enjoy their yakisoba while drunk. I imagine being drunk greatly influenced my opinion of the place.

That still doesn't make any damn sense. I could read the menu for an Italian place, go, "Gee, this place sounds great and smells delicious!" then when my foods comes out I'm all because it tastes like ass.

Yep. Been in there twice for workday lunch, empty both times. Just a strange setup...and the tables along the walls have chairs that are way too large for the small tables. they have board games...but that doesn't help that much. Tried their grilled chicken breast sandwich last time. pretty boring, and not tasty. I do remember their wings being good, but overpriced.

"i like amedeos. i wish they weren't so expensive for what it is, and i wish they brought back the free peanuts... but overall, it's not nearly as bad as you people make it out to be... "

What the hell do you order there that makes you like it so much? With the possible exception of their lasagna, everything else I've had their was really bad. just pasta + boring jar of red/white sauce bad. i'll try it again sometime soon, but that's my impression from 4-5 times eating there over the same number of years.

Used to love the habachi there...but either it's gone wayyyyy downhill, or i've just been exposed to better hibachi since college. went there a couple weeks ago and the hibachi was turrible. like didn't even finish the meat/veggies turrible.

Don't. You'll regret it

8/9/2011 11:57:44 AM

youre all just idiots apparently



it's not that hard to never eat in a shitty restaurant.



i never ordered food the 2 times ive been in cherry bomb/brewmasters, because it sounds stupid and disgusting (save for one sandwich but the hangover burger is like 9 bucks so fuck it)

8/9/2011 11:58:23 AM

huh??

also, the sakura express right on the edge of campus changed owners while i was still in school and i never went back.

8/9/2011 12:04:30 PM

that rockola cafe by western sucked ass after emce left. is charlies subs still on hilpzb? they had shitty subs.

every ihop everywhere. bob evans, good god is it terrible. everything has 5 grams of salt.

8/9/2011 12:12:01 PM

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, BOB EVANS PROVIDES TASTY COMFORT FOOD AT COMPETITIVE PRICES!!!

BACK OFF!!!

8/9/2011 12:13:41 PM

Not a fan of most Amedeos entrees I've had, but I have no problem with splitting one of their meaty pizzas with a friend every once in a while.

God YES. And it's not even all that cheap. You could get a better meal at the farmers' market restaurant for a lot less money. I dated a guy for awhile and every time we went to visit his family they wanted to eat at fucking Bob Evans. It was horrible. There's a reason his parents weighed 300+ pounds each.

8/9/2011 12:16:22 PM

What, did they live in the actual midwest or something


Dalat is a shitty excuse for vietnamese

8/9/2011 12:19:32 PM

i really hated royal india on capital, but only because they ran out of naan twice during lunch. i mean c'mon. gotta keep your naan game up

8/9/2011 12:21:19 PM

Not sure about the worst food. But the worst name, by far, is Pizz America.

8/9/2011 12:23:53 PM

i liked pizzamerica for a while

reminded me of chuck e cheese pizza

8/9/2011 12:26:26 PM

I came to post Amedeos and was worried I would be chastised for it, but it looks like the feelings are mutual for the most part.

Meh, Amedeo's is good if you only get the lasanga.

8/9/2011 12:42:37 PM

well, that's where i first got acquainted with the horror that is Bob Evans, so i'll say it counts

8/9/2011 12:43:03 PM

God I'm having post-traumatic flashbacks of that place now lol.

I thought of another place I think is horrible for breakfast but most people disagree with me.

Brigg's.

That place is so damn overrated. I guess if you like your food swimming in grease and salt it's the place to be.

8/9/2011 12:49:35 PM

I must have (had?) horrible taste b/c in grad school, we ate at dalat regularly and it was always good. They had the best egg drop soup i've ever had too.

8/9/2011 12:50:06 PM

Dalat is awful for Vietnamese food. They should just change their name to Fuzhou or something.

Royal India used to be really great, it had gone way downhill the last couple of times I've been, though.

8/9/2011 12:54:49 PM

is it still like 20 bucks for the buffet

"It was built up as this amazing pizza place by, once again, you people. Maybe I've only been on their bad days, because every time it's been overcooked pizza with flavorless sauce reheated to just below "lukewarm." Just one guy's opinion, and obviously the minority..."

I'm pretty sure most people just say it's the best pizza on Hillsborough street, which in and of itself isn't really building it up. No one will deny that Raleigh and Cary have far better places to offer.

+1!!!
If my friends didn't frequent it like it was their home and poopface didn't host trivia there, I would never (or hardly ever) go to bada anymore. It was fun at first, but being the ONLY place they seem to want to drink at has worn me down.

However, I like the bartenders...atmosphere sucks. It's great I can now leave without reeking of smoke, but I still feel dirty when i leave.

Luckily I've had a solid excuse for almost a year now to not go (I'm half joking half serious on that statement).

I've been flamed a lot for bringing this up as well.

8/9/2011 1:07:44 PM

Last year we went there to watch a football game. Big mistake. My neck was sore for hours.

8/9/2011 1:08:04 PM

^^i'm anticipating the flame

I think the only folks, up til this point, that I've really expressed my disdain of bada to is Justin, Kelly and my brother. Kelly has unfortunately succumbed to bada's magnetic pull...*sigh*

I enjoy bada the most for its proximity to the movies. Grab a quick beer before or after with whomever I'm meeting at the movie then be on my way.

8/9/2011 1:13:14 PM

Too bad Melvin's is complete shit, the original one in Elizabethtown is legendary good.

Golden Dragon had a steamed vegetables plate for under $3, it was awesome.

Does the Hillsborough Street Applebees count in this discussion?

8/9/2011 1:18:06 PM

Applebee's in general is terrible.

8/9/2011 1:19:04 PM

I've always kind of thought the Carolina Ale Houses were overrated...

Tobacco Road

8/9/2011 1:22:14 PM

^^ THIS. I thought I was the only one who thought that lol. Their food is alright but really overpriced for what it is.

Went to a Carolina Ale House after a wedding in Greenville, SC two weekends ago. It was much more of a bar and club than the Cary one. That said, I had one drink and left because it was just a bunch of white trash slammin Bud Light and terrible music that's too loud to allow anything resembling a conversation. What's the point? I can't dance to fucking 3 Doors Down (which is good only for torture) and all the pool tables are taken, all the time.

8/9/2011 1:35:07 PM

snoopy's hotdogs taste like vomit stuffed pig intestine

8/9/2011 1:36:02 PM

If you stick to stuff like wings at the Ale House, then it is okay...

I tried steak there once... never again.

8/9/2011 1:36:42 PM

^^^ That's pretty much what the one in Brier Creek is like. Was not surprised at all when there was a shooting in their parking lot awhile back.

^^ I've always wondered about Snoopy's but never made the plunge lol.
