the names of the worst restaurants?


Amedeos

6/15/2012 1:35:32 AM

Yeah, because what in the world is an amedeo? Am I right?

6/15/2012 1:37:53 AM

in Massachusetts...i ate there once...unfortunately, it is a dump diner, and not at all elegant, and the food is bland

there is a bar called Flip Flops in Atlanta, some fucker from the Real World runs it, popular with the just out of college yuppie crowd. Lots of polos and well... flip flops.

McCormick & Schmick's

6/15/2012 7:27:05 AM

Green frog. Or whatever the fuck that yogurt place is called

My wife keeps telling me about "Aguila Con El Taco II"

Not the worst, but strange nonetheless.

6/15/2012 9:09:02 AM

This is somewhere between Raleigh and DC. Can't remember which exit. We were probably high from lack of sleep when we stopped for gas but my sister and I thought a Mexican restaurant named Carlos O'Kelly was hilarious at the time.

6/15/2012 9:21:01 AM

My nieghborhood (Dilworth) is/was full of them.

The sports bar downstairs is called Sidekicks.

A fish place down the street was called Rock 'N Lobster.

And then it went under and changed to a fancy restaurant called, and I shit you not, Plan B.

6/15/2012 9:49:16 AM

But Dilworth is awesome. If i ever live in Charlotte, that's where I'd want to be.

6/15/2012 10:00:48 AM

An tends to get a little confusing when trying to write about it.

6/15/2012 10:01:07 AM

6/15/2012 10:39:40 AM

Not a restaurant, but Kum and Go is pretty bad for a gas station.

6/15/2012 10:39:59 AM

lol they are everywhere out in Iowa!

6/15/2012 10:40:50 AM

wasn't it Plan B before it was the Lobster?

i dunno why that tenant space can't stay in business long, they've probably had a half dozen different restaurants in there over the last decade

6/15/2012 10:45:24 AM

Sheetz sound pretty gross. And their advertisements about their food don't help.

6/15/2012 11:06:39 AM

Cock of the Walk

6/15/2012 11:27:24 AM

sheetz is a gas station that also happens to sell food.

exxon has sandwiches in the coolers and hotdogs, but i don't consider them a restaurant.

6/15/2012 11:30:37 AM

there's a place near charlotte named "Omega Coney Island". it makes no sense at all.

6/15/2012 11:34:38 AM

Bobby, Dilworth is amazing, just has some funny restaurant names.

Tree, I think you are right. Plan B first then Rock-N-Lobster. Before all those it was the awesome but also very creatively named City Tavern.

Boardwalk Billy's didn't last long and now it's going to be a hotdog restaurant.

It the perfect space for a restaurant and none can survive.

have you seen the commercials? they make it look like it's a legitimate gourmet sandwich shop, not something out of the cooler. i don't know because i've never been to noe.

6/15/2012 12:05:33 PM

i just saw one called Yeck's

6/15/2012 12:08:51 PM

so a couple of years ago, someone was opening a restaurant in garner, but the name was secret, the only hint was that you couldn't google it and find anything of a similar name

GOOD NEWS: when they google it, customers assuredly get that restaurant

BAD NEWS: when they google it, customers see the reviews

I mean, I wouldn't call them gourmet, but they make them to order so it's definitely not the same as your usual gas station fare.

6/15/2012 12:19:21 PM

wawa sandwiches are better

6/15/2012 12:50:42 PM

I'd always wondered about this

Quote :

"The chain was founded by Ruth Fertel, a single mother of two, in 1965, after she bought the existing Chris Steak House in New Orleans. In buying the restaurant, Fertel had to agree that the restaurant keep the "Chris" name for a specified period of time. After the original location sustained a kitchen fire, she relocated the restaurant about one-half mile (0.9 km) to the west on Broad Street and renamed the rebuilt establishment "Ruth's Chris." "

The Golden Stool is an awesome name hahahah. Tells you absolutely nothing

i go to sheetz all the damn time. i live in VA. i mean they aren't that good. like a shitty subway.

but back on topic, FUDDRUCKERS

6/15/2012 1:17:22 PM

a shitty subway? that sounds horrible.

6/15/2012 1:20:34 PM

I always thought "The Gourmet Factory" was pretty awful

6/16/2012 1:28:18 AM

PizzAmerica

6/16/2012 2:08:42 AM

There's a jerk chicken place at the bottom of Richmond called Jamaica Me Crazy.

Toot-n-Tell is a pretty dumb name now that it's no longer a drive-in, but it's a damn good restaurant.

Id eat at Pho King and Pho Shizzle. Loves me some Pho

lol Carlos O'Kelly's! Yes!

wolfpackgrrr, you were in Fredericksburg or Stafford. Those are the only 2 between here and DC. I grew up about 10 minutes away from both of them.


My vote:



Just because if you have to call yourself "best food" to get people in the door, you're probably nothing to write home about.

6/17/2012 12:41:14 AM

hahaha Pho Bich Nga is absolutely fantastic

6/17/2012 12:42:57 AM

lol @ pho bich nga

Saw this picture, all I could think was..."Damn, I wish gas was $1.30 a gallon now."

6/17/2012 8:57:48 AM

Regarding the place in Garner...
Before it was Character's Quarters it was "Garner Draft House"
Before it was "Garner Draft House", it was a place called "High Beams"

6/17/2012 9:20:37 AM

I went in there once when it was High Beams. It was the kind of place that was so generic and mediocre, you wonder why the owner would bother opening a restaurant.

6/17/2012 10:02:23 AM

One time when I went to high beams, our waitress had a fake leg.

True story.

6/17/2012 10:13:00 AM

It was "Garner Ale House" not "Garner Draft House"
