LUV2XCLR8 10-03-2007, 05:05 PM Just curious, we all have our opinions, but some of us live in bigger cities
and have been to places us Country folk :sexy: may have never heard of :lol:
So name some place that you will NOT eat at / eat at ever again ;)
Long John Silvers
McDonalds
Lonestar Steakhouse
Captian D's
and Crystal
I'm sure there are more, so where will you not eat at?
pcmcobra 10-03-2007, 05:41 PM ANY buffet.
68SWB4x4 10-03-2007, 07:15 PM KFC for starters
A chinese buffet in my town was caught using pigeon traps on their roof so I sure as hell wouldn't eat there.
N2TRUX 10-03-2007, 07:25 PM ....A Chinese buffet in my town was caught using pigeon traps on their roof so I sure as hell wouldn't eat there. If that scares you then don't ever go in the kitchen of any independent Chinese Buffet. I have seen a few in my work, and will NEVER eat at one again.
Trust me when I tell you that a pigeon is the least of your worries....:barf:
Truckstr 10-03-2007, 08:08 PM I'm with ya on Long John Silvers. That processed "pressed" fish? Yuck!
I can take Krystal, but not very often. There was a time when it was about the only thing that would cure the munchies late after a 'night on the town'. Hmmmm. Maybe that's why I have acid reflux. lol
cdowns 10-03-2007, 10:29 PM mcdonalds wendys burgerking pizzahut crispykreme tgif waffle house
any buffet or allu can eat
theres very very few chain eatin places that i'll go to anymore exceptions are cracker barrel ihop and rubytuesdays
Oh man, you guys are making me hungry :barf:
bad68bowtie 10-03-2007, 11:43 PM McDonalds, Arby's, Burger King, Chinese buffets are the ones I've learned the hard way on.
Places like Long John Silvers, Captain D's, Hardees are some of the ones I never even gave a chance.
And while I know it isn't much/any better than any of the rest of em, I have a problem with Krystal cravings.
68SWB4x4 10-04-2007, 02:54 AM I remembered another one..........
In 'N' Out! Yuck! :lol:
jimfulco 10-04-2007, 05:06 AM 68SWB4x4, they don't feed you the pigeons, they just use them for cat bait.
Oh yeah, KFC & Wendy's because they support gun control, Long John Silver's & Chili's because it's too salty, Krystal because they're gross even when you're drunk and they put the salt and pepper in the same stinkin shaker.
Orange 10-04-2007, 12:50 PM I am only 100% anti on Burger King and IHOP.
Everything else I can tolerate pretty much, although I don't always like it.
There is a place called China Kitchen in Sevierville that I will never eat at again.

GMCBubba 10-04-2007, 02:56 PM in college, i'd hit CiCi's anytime, but now i just can't handle the nasty kids touching all the food. so no more buffets for me
bowtier 10-04-2007, 03:30 PM Perkins.:mad:
Dirty rotten sons a...etc. etc. etc.
Long story :lol:
724x4a/cchevy 10-04-2007, 03:42 PM i'll never eat at white castle again. Only ate there once and i slept by the toilet. They call them belly-bombers for a reason.

spr85gmc 10-04-2007, 11:36 PM damn i say the same thing about alot of ff restraunts but on a college budget and schedule i some times dont have a choice
fastwillie 696969 10-04-2007, 11:42 PM kfc -chicken sucks
Can't stand Rio Bravo or El Chico
earl87gta 10-13-2007, 10:48 AM I dont eat Long John Silvers
sick69 10-19-2007, 11:19 PM Guess i'm one of the brave ones,,,or stupid!
I was an electrician for about 9 years and worked at alot of these places, and let me tell you they are all about the same.
The only one I refuse to even walk into is western sizzlin. The one here is so bad the floor is sticky after they clean up and before they open it's still sticky. Might not be so bad but it was the whole floor not just spots and I won't tell you about the vent system.

Bishops Trucks 10-20-2007, 01:10 AM My ex-wifes house. The only fast food I'll eat is Wendys when I want a greasy burger.
streetstar 11-10-2007, 03:22 PM I remembered another one..........
In 'N' Out! Yuck! :lol:
I will be happy to take up your slack at In-N-Out Burger
(of course i dont have to deal with it everyday-just when i go to Cali on bid-ness)
streetstar 11-10-2007, 03:27 PM Just about any buffet-only place is off the list (except for a place called Fire Mountain - i dont know if it is a chain or if its Oklahoma only.
Most of the burger places (Hardees, Carls Jr, Wendys, BK, McD's - etc.) I normally stay out of, but in a pinch , one of their "small" cheeseburgers and a side salad will not kill you
I like Long John Silvers and Waffle House - but only eat at either , maybe once every 6 months or so , because of the grease content at both
eedgell 11-11-2007, 06:41 PM I will be happy to take up your slack at In-N-Out Burger
(of course i dont have to deal with it everyday-just when i go to Cali on bid-ness)
Dido on in-n-out. Real spuds for frys any day.
Kaysenmc 11-30-2007, 01:43 AM i'll never eat at white castle again. Only ate there once and i slept by the toilet. They call them belly-bombers for a reason.
This took me a while, but when I realized what you meant I laughed so hard I woke up my girlfriend. Nice:lol:
IHOP... I usually avoid most 'chain' resturants in general though.
Luv68's 11-30-2007, 05:44 AM Place called Aunt Catfish in Fl. I did the refrigeration in that place for years. One step in the kitchen and no o ne would ever eat there. All I have to say is fly crusted Baked Beans and a floor so disgusting I had to throw a pair of work boots away to get rid of the smell.
Putter 11-30-2007, 11:56 AM Just about any buffet-only place is off the list (except for a place called Fire Mountain - i dont know if it is a chain or if its Oklahoma only.
We have (or had) a Fire Mountain outside of Jackson. Owned by the same folks that have Ryans. I stuck to the stuff they were cooking hot on the grill. I figure I can open canned corn, beans, etc...at home.
Hardees gives me the hershey-squirts!!!!
magooster 11-30-2007, 06:20 PM A place called the Sea Hag in Depoe Bay Oregon. I ordered a big bucket of steamed clams there a couple years back when I was on Holidays with my wife(then fiance). It was the night that I proposed to her on and was up all night yakking my brains out. I'm pretty sure they used red tide clams. I now can't stand the thought of eating shellfish of any kind.
72BlckButy 11-30-2007, 06:31 PM Long John Silvers, Captain D's, McDonald's, Hardee's (depending on the rep of the location), some unknown mexican or chinese restaurants...

68caliRat 11-30-2007, 07:08 PM BurgerKing is about the only chain I won't eat at, any Fish place is the worst. I grew up eating fish fresh from the water(almost still swimming) so the restaurant stuff is gross to me.
bigblock79 12-02-2007, 08:19 PM why is the chanise so bad. come on tell what you know
Fire Mountain sucks
subway is the best.
i do eat at bk and md some
i like sonic and east cost wings
tcb-1 12-02-2007, 08:33 PM My Mother-in-laws
second that one:barf:
CrashBob 12-21-2007, 03:49 AM All buffets, especially Chinese, nuttin' but semi warmed over mystery meat and God knows what else.
Any of you guys ever get to Nebraska, DO check out Runza and try anything on the menu, you will not be disappointed. Local chain started in Lincoln, very serious about quality, cleanliness and taste!
CrashBob
papawswrench 12-21-2007, 04:24 AM Denny's, due to several bad incidents. Texas Roadhouse ( Louisiana Roadhouse in Louisiana- same owners).
I don't go to Joe's Crab Shack very often because they peg me as I come in the door as a guy that won't buy a bunch of appetizers and drinks, so I get very poor service.
When I was truck driving, I tore up the buffet at several Shoney's AYCE buffets, but they have disappeared around here.
cjracing15 12-29-2007, 06:07 PM I am a refrigeration thec. for a local dairy and have milk boxes in a lot of local restaurants and cafeterias in the area. The worst I have ever saw was a local university. They have such a roach problem that I had to replace a thermostat on the box three times in a span of four months:barf:. The third time I got the call I took a roach motel with me. Have not had a call back in about a year.:lol:
Dick Dale 12-30-2007, 11:05 AM No BK, any buffet or processed fish stuff. I grew up Catholic by a big lake so I know what real fish taste like. Everytime I eat at Cracker Barrel, I get sick, hence the nickname in my house Crapperbarrel.
cjracing15 12-30-2007, 12:53 PM Would that be Lane?
No it's not lane COLLEGE. BUT I will tell you that it is probably the bigest and most expensive UNIVERSITY in Jackson. I probably do not need to say it by name;).
tdkosta 12-30-2007, 09:04 PM I will not eat at Olive Garden or any other corporate owned Italian chain. There are plenty of family owned and run authentic Italian establishements that care about the food they make and the people they serve it to.
WorkinLonghorn 01-01-2008, 09:01 PM Wendy's cause they towed my car our of their (totally empty) lot once,plus all those fast food places are just grease and salt. When I'm out on a job we just stop at an independent joint and get a chicken sandwich.I never eat at any grease shops anymore.
63 & 64 Bowties 01-01-2008, 10:37 PM MacDonalds. What is that gray stuff they call meat?

streetstar 01-03-2008, 09:24 AM My last experience at Chili's was bad, and likely ruined the place for me for good
heavy71chevy 01-22-2008, 09:08 AM Waffle house right of 75 in macon georgia...SOBs served me eggs that were like water and a steak that was rotten..i rejected it and walked out
ksucatz 01-24-2008, 01:50 AM All buffets, especially Chinese, nuttin' but semi warmed over mystery meat and God knows what else.

CrashBob
Every time we go through NE, we stop at first Runza we see. It is a nice change. The wife hails from Omaha, so we visit friends and family there once in a while. There is an awesome Italian place somewhere downtown Omaha.
I do prefer any local mom and pop diners and restaurants over any of the chain. Our cruise night originates at Wendy's. We will never got to another Ryan's because of totally crappy service and food. Unfortunately, there is not a lot of choice here, so we are stuck. I sure do miss real sea food. Not the stuff they serve at Red Lobster. Funny how I thought that was great till I moved to NC and had the good fresh stuff.
dan42 01-24-2008, 10:25 PM You guys are grossing me out. I agree with the Buffet deal. No way. We have about a thousand here in Santa Maria, too. (real sophisticated tastes here.) Every once in a while a fast food place, but I prepare myself for a stomach ache and if I don't get one, I consider it a bonus.:lol:
BACKYARD88 01-24-2008, 11:58 PM I eat pretty much anything. I LOVE oriental, buffet or not. Who cares what's in it as long as it tastes good!:D I don't eat at Tex-Mex type places, only the real thing for me.
glock35ipsc 01-25-2008, 11:12 PM ANY place with a drive-up window. EXCEPT for In-n-Out Burger. I gotta have a few of those when I'm in Vegas.
Seriously, since I started working out daily and eating cleaner, I can't stomach hardly ANY fast food anymore. Putter described it best as when he has Hardees!
phlegm 02-02-2008, 03:41 AM You guys that dont eat Mc Donnalds must not have kids....lol.
I am choosey on my buffets
I will Not eat @ hooters, although I will go and sit quitely in the corner until asked to leave.
no capn ds or long john, if I want fried fish there are pleanty of places to go. I dont go to Italian chains for a reason listed a couple above. Otherwise I will pretty much eat anything. O there is a place in town called Yum Yums chinease, it is scary.
glock35ipsc 02-02-2008, 03:58 AM You guys that dont eat Mc Donnalds must not have kids....lol.
Two of them, they're just not old enough to drive, and they have very little money to bribe me with! :lol:
Fred T 02-07-2008, 05:54 AM I won't eat at my mother's. She cooks the meat so long I start seeing mirages after I eat it. And she doesn't allow pepper in her house.
Kixwy2 02-07-2008, 11:33 AM You guys are grossing me out. I agree with the Buffet deal. No way. We have about a thousand here in Santa Maria, too. (real sophisticated tastes here.) Every once in a while a fast food place, but I prepare myself for a stomach ache and if I don't get one, I consider it a bonus.:lol:
Ew. I worked off Betteravia and Broadway for about 2 years and had nowhere to eat down there. Bleh. Although Roadhouse wasn't too bad...
I will NOT go to any of the Chinese buffets. :barf:
BIG CTY 02-09-2008, 01:01 AM Applebee's. I HATE Applebee's.
The whole buffett concept is kinda gross, but I've eaten there and probably will again. I have a good immune system.
Truckstr 02-09-2008, 01:18 AM Applebee's. I HATE Applebee's.
The whole buffett concept is kinda gross, but I've eaten there and probably will again. I have a good immune system.
I didn't know that Applebee's had a buffet.
glock35ipsc 02-09-2008, 01:38 AM Me neither.....
shilo 02-13-2008, 03:31 AM Whataburger!
I went to the atm next door, took out a 20. bought a burger meal. got change from a 10. I told the girl i gave her a 20. She said no it was a ten. i got the manager and he counted the till. sure enough it was right on. "Well no $hit its right on cause that girl was short a 10 and used me to bring it back up!" Never again.
BIG CTY 02-15-2008, 09:40 AM I didn't know that Applebee's had a buffet.
Me neither.....
Seems as though I didnt make that clear....those were two separate thoughts gentlemen. Applebees doesnt have a buffet, I was responding to the question and to others thoughts on buffets.
ERASER5 02-22-2008, 01:19 AM No Long John Silvers? Man, I go about every 3 months. A finely tuned machine like me needs to be greased every so often to keep everything running smoothly. :lol:
larry may 02-22-2008, 01:34 AM DEER PARK quick stop on 63 hi-way between Jefferson City Missouri and Columbia Missouri. Was robbed there this morning. litterly not figurtivly. 5 c NOTES.
jimfulco 02-23-2008, 08:54 AM No Long John Silvers? Man, I go about every 3 months. A finely tuned machine like me needs to be greased every so often to keep everything running smoothly. :lol:
Not to mention all that salt keeping you well-preserved. :D
get me on the road 02-28-2008, 10:15 AM Any pizza place that uses frozen dough. I will eat a whole tombstone frozen pizza though, cooked of course.
barn9 03-01-2008, 05:03 AM I made the mistake of eating at a Spangles in Wichita today, absolute worst burger I have ever been served. There were 3 of us eating, and none of us could finish our burgers. I will NEVER darken their doorway again!
Bnugg 03-26-2008, 04:58 AM McDonalds,Pizza Hut,Papa Johns,Dominoes,Bandana's BBQ in St Louis,Wafflehouse
68 Stepside 04-06-2008, 01:36 AM KFC, had food poisoning from there in a BAD way not once, but twice. I've since sworn it off. Buffalo Wild Wings as well, it's too damn spendy for what you get (or don't get). Most chain places are, I've found (IE: Ruby Tuesday's, TGI Fridays, Applebees, etc.)
I don't eat out much anyway, if I do it's generally chinese food or pizza (NOT pizza hut :puke: )
lts70 04-13-2008, 06:59 PM My wife tells me I have an iron stomach. I will eat pretty much eat anything at least once. I love Chinese buffets but never get the chance any more because of my wife’s fear of them. I lived in the Caribbean and South America for two years and you wouldn’t believe what I willingly eat down there.
My wife can not even look at fast food without getting explosive diarrhea. When we pass taco bell I roll up the window just incase.
screwballl 04-15-2008, 05:42 AM I can eat pretty much anything.... I prefer to not eat at McD's but do every few months... I remember when the regular hamburger patties were the size of the current quarter pounder patties WTF!!!
Other than that I can eat almost anywhere except seafood... I am a beef boy, can't eat seafood at all (except alaskan king crab legs)
Longhorn321 04-15-2008, 06:20 AM McDs, Perkins and Dennys are all out fer sure!:barf: Some others I try to avoid like Burger King but they will do in a pinch.
Sub-versive 04-17-2008, 09:23 PM No fast food places anymore. DO NOT eat at chinese buffet places. I had the lovely privledge of working on two different places, ooooh scary, don't know the meaning of cleanliness. One place stunk of stale urine so badly I wore a respirator and worked as fast as humanly possible.:barf::barf: And they were supposed to open to the public within days.:jdp: No joke!
Used to eat at In 'n Out 'til I got food poisoning, but not after that.:barf::barf: Worst I've ever felt in my whole life.
space 04-18-2008, 02:35 PM I guess I've been lucky so far. I eat pretty much anywhere, love a good buffet. The only time I can remember being sick was my wifes cooking. She didn't quite get some chicken fully cooked and we paid dearly for it the next 2 days. Out both ends, I wished I was dead.
El Jay 05-01-2008, 01:37 AM KFC for starters
A chinese buffet in my town was caught using pigeon traps on their roof so I sure as hell wouldn't eat there.
Squab is quite tasty.
Soxfan05 03-29-2009, 03:30 PM McDonalds,Sonic,KFC,Pizza Hut,Old Country Buffet,Golden Corral.I tell myself all the time that I won't eat at Waffle House,but everytime I'm in the south and start drinking I end up there.
Lugnut64052 03-30-2009, 07:14 PM I'll pretty much eat anywhere . . you just have to be a little selective about what you're getting.
The one place I won't eat is Cracker Barrel. I hate being stuck out there in that gift shop for 20 minutes, only to finally get a table and find out the place is half-empty. If I wanted to go to a cheesy knick-knack shop first I'd go to one.
thirdstreettito 03-30-2009, 10:14 PM I wont eat at Ruby Tuesdays. They now have scratchy napkins, smaller portions, less menu, and more!(Or should I say less)
Other than that we eat anywhere that tastes good, I've eaten genuine(not that fake crap)German, French, Italian, Greek, Chinese, Mediterranean, I've also eaten snails, alligator, lamb, bison, octopus, shark, dolphin, and more. I get around quite a bit. :)
Sillyoldman 03-31-2009, 12:12 PM Too many to list. Falling back on my delivery days I had to use the service entrance to handle up on buisiness. Even the kitchens of the nicest places were gross.
fun in dirt 03-31-2009, 01:20 PM Wendy's is definetly out! Me, my son, & husband have all been sick, out both ends, from them before..and even in different towns. My 5 yr old seriously almost starts crying if we even pull in one to go to the bathroom.
I am a refrigeration thec. for a local dairy and have milk boxes in a lot of local restaurants and cafeterias in the area. The worst I have ever saw was a local university. They have such a roach problem that I had to replace a thermostat on the box three times in a span of four months:barf:. The third time I got the call I took a roach motel with me. Have not had a call back in about a year.:lol:
I'm with you there! I've also been in the the back areas of the kitchens at our university. So I eat off campus if I don't bring my lunch from home. Poor freshman kids that have to but a meal ticket don't have a choice.
