Whether its eating at a fast food restaurant, a fancy dine-in or whatever. What is some of the worst incidents you've had with restaurant food? Find a hair, rodent or finger in your food? Had some of the worst service in your life? Tell us about it.

Here is mine. One morning I stopped by a Burgerville fast food restaurant (NW US only i believe) and got a couple of breakfast sandwiches on the way to a job interview I had that morning. As I pulled onto the freeway I ate the last bite of my last sandwich and that last piece happened to be moldy. Now I had nice clothes on for my interview so I didn't want to spit it out or puke while im going 70 mph on the freeway so I swallow it down with much disgust. I felt queasy, maybe just at the thought of the mold I don't know, but luckily I had some tic tacs with me and i downed all the mints into my mouth to get out the taste. Luckily I made it to my interview without puking lol.

One time I was on vacation in Maine, my family and I went into the restaurant. Everyone got their food before my brother and I, it took like ten minutes longer for our food to come. We see the waiter coming up with our food, and get ready to eat. He falls down. Right in front of us, by our table, he falls flat on his face. The food goes flying everywhere. We wait another half an hour for our food, and there was no discount for it. My sister said the best thing possible for that moment. "Dinner and a show".

The Game.

Is it after 9PM EST? You should probably ignore the above post.

Lol nice. I can just see excited faces as the food is coming and then disaster. That's messed up you didn't get at least some kind of discount though.

I was once having dinner with a buddy of mine I've known for many years. He's a bit of a neat freak and very particular about things in general. The kind of person that wipes down the table and his silverware and such even if it looks clean - that sort of guy.

Anyway, we went to this national sandwich chain whose name I won't mention. It's become very popular in the past few years, kind of like a Starbucks for sandwiches. We each got soup and a sandwhich and were enjoying them when suddenly his face went completely pale as he looked into his now nearly-empty bowl of soup. And sure enough, there it was: a roach. A straight-up roach. Not the biggest roach, about the size of your pinky fingernail, but a freakin' ROACH.

He pushed the bowl away and said he was about to be sick. I tried to distract him and say it was no big deal, he enjoyed what he'd already eaten, just forget it and have the sandwich. He was so grossed out he was about to puke. So I took my spoon, stuck it into his bowl, scooped up the roach... and ate it.

There, see? No big deal! What's the problem? Quit being such a [insert derogatory comment here]. He was so shocked by what he'd just seen that he actually didn't feel sick any more. So then we got to talking about and I told him he should go get his money back and he started cracking up, mimicking how that conversation would go:
"I want my money back."
"Why?"
"There was a roach in my soup. A f*cking ROACH. In my SOUP."
"Okay, bring it to us and we'll sort it out."
"I can't."
"Why not?"
"My friend ate it."

Man did we laugh through the rest of the meal - and still do whenever that story comes up.

I wonder if the health department knows about that.

One time I went to Burger King, the drive-through, and the lady accidentally put my drink in the bag, and directly handed me my fries and tender crisp sandwich. I then went home to LMFAO!

It was some mom and pop restaurant and I remember it was at a small town near where my Grandpa lived. I was probably 8 or so. The waitress or cow if you will brought me my food. I bit into my hamburger and their was a few pieces of hair. All I remember was I flipped out on the waitress. I had a serious problem using the F and B words as a kid. I do not think that waitress had ever seen a kid talk like that. But hey I got my Mom and Dad a full refund on all the meals and I got grounded.

I have four different bad restaurant stories.

In 1996, I got bad steak from a place that was named after FDR's wife and existed for over 60 years. The steak was all fat and you can't really chew it. I didn't get bad steak from that place prior to that and the food tasted great before than. I never went back to the place. The went out of business a couple years after that for flunking health inspections. What happened was the place changed how they got their food under the same owners. The people that ran the place started to do dumpster diving and getting expired food to cook.

When I a kid back in the mid 1980's, I went to a place in Door County called Wilson's. I had bad milk there as a kid and Breakfast wasn't the best there based on what I remembered. It was the first time I went to Wilson's based on the fact it was well known for great food in Door Country. I didn't go back to the place and the place had problems for years based on what I heard before new ownership took over and made the food and everything like it was during it's peak.

I used to go to a place called Summertime in Fish Creek, WI when I was growing up. They used to have good food and was a stop that I went to when traveled up to Fish Creek. The last time I went there in the mid 1990's, I got sick from bad orange juice and the food tasted cold before I threw up. I read years later that place smelled something gross for 3 straight months.

I also had problems at Perkin's 19 years ago. The service was bad by the waitress not checking on us, forgetting drinks, etc. The food was uncooked. I remembered have steak or chicken with the meal and it was completely uncooked. I was lucky that I didn't get sick or get worms for what I had that uncooked.

Jimmy John's doesn't have soup afaik... I'll keep thinking.
Could be Erbert&Gerbert's, or...
Oh, I know! I bet it's Potbelly Sandwich Works!

Wait, why am I even trying to guess? I don't think I really want to know (not that it would stop me from eating at any of those places, as I'm sure this is an isolated incident specific to the location you visited).

We went to a restraunt called Garfield's in 1997 and we had the worst service I'd ever seen. Nobody ever came around to take our order. We didn't even get drinks. We left and I think we got fast food instead. Never did go back to that place again.

Once again its pretty funny, but not bad: When I was in Florida I ate at two different places for Breakfast, a Mom and Pop kind of thing and a Comfort Inn free continentel breakfast. The Mom and Pop was just bad and the the Hotels breakfast was pretty damn good. But on a less fun note:

McDonalds (South Carolina): I got a Diet Coke from the drive-through and it tasted like Cough Syrup... I almost threw up in the car and I cursed under my breath.

McDonalds(My Town, Kentucky): They simply forgot the Chicken, I paid $5 for Fries and a Drink, Lovely!

Huddle House (Kentucky): The waiter spilt hasbrowns all over me and my mom, but luckily we did get a discount.
Oh and I'll post more later!

Actually it was in a mall in Asheville. I had no clue one existed in Tennessee until you mentioned it.

It's not my story, but when my grandparents were on a trip to France, they mistranslated the menu, guess what they ordered... cow's brain. Something like that anyway.
