ah yes, I forgot about KFC

I guess I don't refuse KFC or Arby's, but I eat at them maybe like once a year and I always regret it

KFC always manages to make my stomach sick, and the dark meat fried chicken is awful

and the white meat, for that matter


their grilled chicken is good doe, but not worth buying

might as well make your own

True. I can't remember the last time I stepped foot inside a KFC.

Ehh sometimes we just go to Olive Garden and get the bottomless salad bowl. Pretty cheap and it's hard to fuck up a basic salad like that. Just have to make sure they put the dressing on the side or they'll drown the shit out of the salad.

2/15/2012 9:49:07 AM

first world problems, itt

I'd prefer to never eat at The Flying Biscuit again. Or at least I'll never get chicken there again.

2/15/2012 9:49:36 AM

capple bees has given me food poisoning twice in a row...

you're dead to me... even if i'm given a gift card.

2/15/2012 9:50:50 AM

taco bell, the food here has gotten increasingly worse in the past few years and pretty much makes me feel like shit after i eat it.

2/15/2012 9:53:48 AM

I forgot Panera Bread, or any hot/grilled sandwich place like that. I always get awfully sick afterwards, no idea why.

2/15/2012 9:59:16 AM

Taco Bell food has never changed

what the fuck are you talking about

2/15/2012 10:03:23 AM

I won't flat out refuse any restaurant, because I'm a reasonable man. But I'll strongly express my dissatisfaction to the point where I make the experience miserable enough for my companions that we'll probably never go there again.

2/15/2012 10:04:37 AM

Anywhere that charges you for non-bottled water

2/15/2012 10:08:48 AM

^ Is there anywhere around here that does that?

2/15/2012 10:11:51 AM

Olive Garden. That shithole has about as much in common with real Italian food as Chick-fil-a does.

2/15/2012 10:16:55 AM

the only thing i eat at panera is the broccoli cheese soup.

"Carolina Alehouse is the worst restaurant I have ever been to. Lied to me, made me really sick, and then the boy went back to a different one for drinks and they charged him for someone else's tab too. Won't set foot in that place. The worst thing is when I called and let them know they turned my ass into a volcano they lied to me again and offered me a refund, then never sent it. I never asked for the refund, so them offering and not following through makes them exceptionally horrible."

i've eaten there a number of times and for bar food, it's pretty good (especially their specials). i don't seek the place out, but when i've ended up there i don't mind their food... i can think of tons more restaurants that i would call the worst ever.

long story short, I accidentally knocked over an empty USA Today box outside of the WH across from Mereidth and an employee called the police and reported our license plate number. I got a call the next day from a Raleigh detective saying that I would need to pay $500 for a new box since it was broken beyond repair. I didnt break anything, fuck that place

2/15/2012 10:33:03 AM

I'm a fatty. I've never met a food establishment that I wouldn't eat at.

But I'm pretty against Taco Bell.

maybe they accidentally did

cause their food is pretty damn delicious. durham's and raleigh's.
you mentioning it reminds me i need to go back to the raleigh one sometime soon.

I hate Ruby Tuesday much more than places like Applebees and Chilis because they seem to think they are something they aren't.

"Hey lets put everything on square plates, then charge $2 more!"

2/15/2012 10:40:29 AM

fucking Ragazzi's

i had to get a shot in my ass because they hired some dude with hepatitis to work in the kitchen

2/15/2012 10:40:32 AM

i will say that i'm not one of these people:

Quote :

"I HAD A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE THERE ONE TIME AND WILL NEVER RETURN"

i mean if it was something that can be construed as a mistake, or poor service or something, i won't hold a grudge for the rest of my life. if it happens a second time, or i see tons of bad reviews, maybe i won't return. but to swear off a place for all time for a single bad experience isn't something i'm in to unless something crazy happens.

"I hate Ruby Tuesday much more than places like Applebees and Chilis because they seem to think they are something they aren't. "Hey lets put everything on square plates, then charge $2 more!""

I dislike both places, but from what I remember, the quality of the food at ruby tuesday *is* actually better than applebees. i'm not buying into your cynicalness

2/15/2012 10:40:34 AM

yeah subway is terrible

" I don't get all the hate for Olive Garden."

I agree. I understand (and absolutely agree) that they are not real Italian...but the food is still good to me.

Taco Bell is pretty much the only place I would really not want to go to...I can find something to eat at most restaurants

For me it's that the food is absolutely loaded in combinations of cheese, butter, oil, heavy cream and salt. So yeah, it doesn't taste *that* bad, but you can do much better at most area italian restaurants. Luckily none of my friends are in to it so I never have to go.

"I will dine next to people of all colors and creeds in a Bojangle's or, if needs be, a KFC or Popeye's. But never a Church's. Never."

I went with a friend of mine (also white) to the Church's on New Bern once and the guy behind the counter asked if we were Mormons.

Then he took our order.

Then he begged us for money.

True story!

But in response to the OP, I refuse to eat at Irregardless because they were absolute cunts to my wife and I when we were pricing caterers for our wedding. Also, I really dislike Remedy even though most of my friends love it.

And I do my best to avoid fast food unless I'm stuck on campus all day, but if shitting your pants were an Olympic sport then Burger King would be banned as a performance enhancing drug.

2/15/2012 10:54:18 AM

Zaxby's

2/15/2012 11:03:24 AM

man i love some zaxby's. i would drink the zax sauce if i could.

2/15/2012 11:08:14 AM

yeah I don't understand all the zaxby's hate, nothing spectacular but It ain't terrible.

2/15/2012 11:12:19 AM

seriously. i dont get how one can hate zaxbys. wings and things for life.

2/15/2012 11:13:10 AM

^!

2/15/2012 11:14:33 AM

Someone has to defend Arby's. AND THAT SOMEONE IS ME. Their curly fries are delicious. One of my favorite fast food chains.


Fuck y'all.

2/15/2012 11:15:21 AM

I don't get all the Arbys hate, their roast beef sandwiches are good

Arbys is way too fucking expensive for fast food though, its like $8.50 for a combo

2/15/2012 11:15:33 AM

Back when I was working an internship in Salisbury my team would want to eat at Arby's twice a week. And that Arby's was fucking disgusting. Thus I can no longer stand to eat at Arby's even though I'm sure that one in Salisbury is not a shining example of the Arby's chain.

2/15/2012 11:17:34 AM

i could eat zaxbys daily. fuck yeah zaxbys


in my mouth

2/15/2012 11:18:40 AM

I'll eat anything short of KFC, which I haven't had since like 2004. I even like Waffle House.

Never got all the love for Bojangles. I'll eat it but meh. I feel like I'm at the fair with everything deep-fried and drenched in butter.

Never got all the hate for Carolina Ale House. Thought their food was pretty good the few times I ate there and if you're a Canes fan, they have a pretty good relationship going on.

2/15/2012 11:19:30 AM

yeah arbys is okay if you find a good one, but their consistency between restaurants is absolutely horrible.

and yeah, the price is retarded.

im surprised at the zaxbys hate as well, but then again i figured i would get flamed for throwing out panera (and people agreed with me).

ive never been to an olive garden, italian isnt my favorite, this thread makes me not want to even try it.

2/15/2012 11:21:27 AM

I dislike Panera, and all Panera rip offs like Carolina Cafe, Bear Rock, etc...
