“What Restaurants Do You Refuse To Go To And Why?” (30 Answers)

ADVERTISEMENT

Many of us have our pet peeves when eating out and some of us are pickier than others when it comes to quality. But whoever the customer might be, food industry establishments have a duty to maintain certain standards, from hygiene and the quality of ingredients to good management and serving practices. If you let these slip, you risk destroying your reputation.

Some internet users spilled the beans about the restaurants that they absolutely refuse to eat at in a thread on r/AskReddit. They explained exactly what happened to make them feel this way. Check out their stories and opinions as you scroll down below. And just to be on the safe side, make sure you’re not snacking on anything at the moment!

"What Restaurants Do You Refuse To Go To And Why?" (30 Answers) Hooters because come on. The whole theme is "[Breasts]! Someone's [breasts]! We also serve food." I just can't bring myself to go there, even when people rave about the wings. And I freaking love wings! In this day and age, Hooters should not be a thing. It's gross.

I agree with OP. Have never been to one because the whole concept is "pay more for food served by tiddies". It seems degrading to the women and I know as a man I find it kind of insulting they think I'm that simple.

"What Restaurants Do You Refuse To Go To And Why?" (30 Answers) There’s a small restaurant in my area that was at the forefront of lockdown denial, vaccine denial, and mask denial during the pandemic and lockdown. They forbid their employees from wearing masks, required only those who were vaccinated to wear masks, would refuse service to anyone vaccinated or wearing masks, and the owner was leading protests and giving interviews about ending the lockdowns, against mask mandates, and against the vaccines.

So, I refuse to go there, as do a lot of other people now. Which is a shame because it was one of my favorite restaurants pre pandemic, but given how hard they fought the health department on covid response, it made me wonder what else they’ve been ignoring or hiding on the health front.

I avoid what used to be one of my favorite restaurants. When things were opening back up, the owner went on social media complaining that they only had the staff to open one of their three locations because "no one wants to work anymore." He claimed everyone was living large off their stimulus checks and didn't want to come back to work. I looked up what he got for a PPP loan and it was over $400,000 and he didn't have to pay it back. There is a reason his staff didn't want to come to work for him, but it wasn't due to their paltry stimulus checks.

The CDC estimates that around 48 million people or 1 in 6 Americans get sick from foodborne diseases each year. Of those, 128k are hospitalized and around 3k individuals lose their lives. This is why it is so vital to maintain high hygiene standards everywhere: from farms and silos to warehouses, grocery stores, and kitchens.

Growing, storing, cooking, and serving food responsibly can prevent people from getting ill. Labeling and storing groceries properly, as well as washing your hands and keeping the kitchen clean is about much more than listening to what your manager tells you: it can literally save lives.

Best chain fast food in my opinion. I was never drawn to it as a food court staple, however in 2003 one was put in next to our office before all the gay shaming, Christian values c**p flared. They often brought breakfast for our large office and gave out coupons for free food, free! no strings attached. I did the past again after the s**t hit the fan. Then I learned a gay kid I'd known since forever was working at one. Went and discovered many other obvious gay employees. I like their food, the cleanliness of the restaurants, they well groomed and well spoken employees. I hate they are closed on Sundays. But I kind of like that too, for employees sake.

It’s essential to keep in mind that no matter the restaurant or chain, the quality of service can vary a lot depending on the location, staff, and time of day. Just because someone has had an awful experience at a particular fast-food restaurant doesn’t necessarily mean that all establishments in the chain are awful. That’s why it’s important to look at the quality of the food and service, as well as the hygiene standards in more than one location.

Of course, this doesn’t make it okay to let standards slip anywhere: your customers certainly deserve to be treated with respect. If you got bad food poisoning or saw truly disgusting behavior during your meal, your experience is certainly a bad one. The establishment isn’t entitled to your return patronage.

"What Restaurants Do You Refuse To Go To And Why?" (30 Answers) I hope this doesn't come off as snobbish, but the honest answer is any chain restaurant. I'm fortunate enough to live in a region packed with independent restaurants, and I prefer to spend my money at local businesses. It's not a hard choice to make money-wise, either, as mediocre chain eateries don't charge mediocre chain eatery prices anymore. If I'm going to spend $18 on a plate of chicken alfredo, then I'm not going to do it at f*****g Olive Garden.

However, what this means is that people tend to focus on the negatives rather than the positives and there’s always a broader picture. For instance, an otherwise respectful company might have issues with a few groups of demotivated, untrained, and mismanaged employees at a few key locations. It’s up to the business to identify these issues and solve them as soon as possible.

That might mean offering employees proper training and incentives to maintain high hygiene and service standards. Or it might take opportunities for growth, a fair(er) wage, and a few personal heart-to-heart conversations to figure out what’s going on.

Though a good manager will know how to motivate most employees, there are bound to be some bad apples who don’t care about their jobs or their customers. In some fringe cases, you may need to let someone go.

"What Restaurants Do You Refuse To Go To And Why?" (30 Answers) I worked at Domino's for three days when I was 17. Only job I've ever quit on the spot and the only restaurant chain I refuse to eat at.

When you make the pizzas, you pick the toppings out of the tubs and sprinkle them on the base, which sits on a bunch of metal bars over a big metal tray. Periodically you remove the tray, pick the stray toppings out, and put them back in the tubs. So far so logical, right? Third day I worked a close shift and the manager told me to tip the tubs of toppings into the big bags of toppings in the fridge. Asked him when we threw the bags away, and he said "when they're empty."

Nope nope nope nope nope. Nasty, nasty bastards.

Not that I’m defending Domino’s, but any story about the actions of one franchise probably does not represent the whole chain. Often, these stories are individual franchise owners cutting corners to save money, not because of corporate policy.

Papa John’s. I’ve had better pizza from the freezer section of grocery stores.

Denny’s, because they’re overpriced and the food goes through me faster than a worm through mud.

Pizza Hut. Way overpriced for what you get. I miss the old days where you could actually sit in the restaurant and have your pizza fresh from the oven, instead of half cooled.

Boston Pizza barely avoids my list, but only because I LOVE the perogie pizza and their $5 personal pizza day.

Bottomless french fries. Taste good but the delay tactics are ridiculous. Have compared notes with friends - seems to be a thing at least at my local RR. Server takes a long time to get back around to so you can say you want more fries. Then the fries take a long time go get to the table. So you are about a half hour into eating your burger before you get your first, often modest size refill. So - "bottomless", but effectively not since they delay you out of it.

Throwing up all night, the works. I would understand if it was just her because she had a sensitive stomach. I never get sick from food. Also, we ordered two different types of wings, so it wasn't that we had the same wings. Never went back and will never go again.

Boston Market. It was my first job in my last year of high school, so 2012-2013. Back then, the food was decent. Creamed Spinach with Sweet Thai Chili sauce (so good), Loaded Mashed Potatoes, even the Dill Potatoes, Rice Pilaf and the Fresh veggies were good. I particularly loved the Boston Carver Sandwich, the Cesar Salad, and the brownies. We were allowed to take the wings from the chicken home for free too, which was awesome.

I only worked there for about 2 years, but I’ve found myself going back from time to time, but saw the decline in food quality as they added more “extras” like ribs. But I felt nostalgic (and high) so I Door Dashed the chicken sandwich, brownie, and a drink.

It came in a Chinese plastic bag (one with generic thank you on it. Drink was 16 oz and even the creamed spinach was in a unmarked square container. The sandwich was fine but I believe it was standard white bread and not a roll. But they outsource their brownies to what seemed like dollar store quality- I couldn’t even finish that one bite. I went back and realized that the store didn’t even have the Boston Market name anymore so that’s probably why. Most locations in my area closed, the one I worked at turned into a Chick-Fil-A years ago. Such a shame because it was a good semi healthy choice but I’ll never get over how down hill they’ve become.

My one rule of thumb is that if there’s tilapia in the menu at a sit down full service restaurant, I will not come back. Tilapia are roaches of the sea. Almost entirely farm raised. They cut off the heads because they’re often mutated from being fed bovine meal. No nutritional value. Cheap as sticks. Questionable in every sense.

I'm a visual editor at Bored Panda. I kickstart my day with a mug of coffee bigger than my head, ready to tackle Photoshop. I navigate through the digital jungle with finesse, fueled by bamboo breaks and caffeine kicks. When the workday winds down, you might catch me devouring bamboo snacks while binging on the latest TV show, gaming or I could be out in nature, soaking up the tranquility and communing with my inner panda.

A very American list, as most of these chains do not exist outside the USA. But also, chain restaurants aren't a big thing here. of course there are the occasional fast food giants like MacDonalds, Burger King, KFC or Subway, other than that, chains with standardized menus are mostly confined to Autobahn stops (Serways and Tank&Rast come to mind). Unfortunately that has begun to change, though... :(
