Restaurant Horror Stories

Everybody on here has eaten at a restaurant. And we've all experienced slow service, an overcharge or onions on your burger when you specifically asked for none. But, what about a piece of nail in your sandwich, an undercooked sausage with your breakfast, or a long coarse hair in your burger? Now that's something to be horrified about, eh? Take my horror stor=, for example.
I was at KFC one time and the service was really slow. We waited and waited for our food. Finally, my order came, and I was chowing down on my food like I'm known to do, and I noticed that my chicken was a little juicy. Turns out it was pretty muchraw on the inside. We took it back, and waited another eternity, and finally got our food. This time it was cold and hard. So, what's your story? Maybe you know someone that had a bad experience, and you can tell that too if you don't personally have one. Happy writing, and bon apetite.

I'd probably throw up if i found something unexpected in my food.

I had a Chicken burger from McDonalds which consisted entirely of chicken guts... Tubes and all. And they weren't minced. I haven't eaten there since

Ok, that's just nasty. I'd probably do the same thing as post 2.

My only experience has been a burnt pizza at Pan Pizza and way, way too much salt in the soup of the day when we went to a local pub for Mothering Sunday earlier this year, but my mum and a friend and myself, went to a pub a bit further away once and the fish was kind of half-defrosted, not cooked at all. Ew'w'w'w'w! Hasn't stopped us going back though.

Well I use to work at a Burger King. I have seen Many wrong things be done. I had one manager that use to pick up food off the floor and use it. He did it to save money from wasting food. I remember having to jump in the dumpster to squash the garbage down, then run right inside to make food. Then there were times that we sped up the broiler to rush the burgers out quick, and they were still bleeding when we made them up. Or when we served food that had been sitting around ppast the time we were allowed to serve it. Since working at a Burger King, I have never eaten at one again. I would rather starve to death.

I once read a story in a newspaper where someone was sueing the Nissin company because when they were done eating their cup of noodles (I'm not sure if that was the actual name of the product but it was that sort of thing anyway) they found a rats head in the bottom of the cup. Me, being who I am, made the joke of....well, what are they complaining about? Right on the label it says "more than a meal".

Oh, and I almost forgot, my daughter once ordered nacho bell grande from Taco Bell and when her boyfriend showed up at the house she handed the rest of it to him to eat. He had taken about 4 bites when he reached into his mouth and pulled out a rusty sewing needle.

"Wow, I love popeyes!"

"I know, I can't believe we go so far out of our way just to eat this stuff, it's so greasy and fried and mmm..."

"Yummy, where are my mashed potatoes?"

"Right here, where are my biscuits?"

"Right here."

"Ahhh, this chicken is the best man, it really is, I mean can it get any better?"


"Oh my god, what the hell is that?

"Huh?"

"That, in my mash potatoes?"

"Um, I don't know, it looks like, it looks like a feather?"

"A feather?"

"Yeah, it's a feather."

"It's a chicken feather!"

"Yeah, a white fluffy chicken feather!"

"Where the hell did it come from? Oh my god, this is so gross, I'll never have popeyes again!"

*-*-*-*
Two weeks later...

"Yum, I love popeyes!"
"I know its sooo good!"

"What the hell is that!"

"What?"

"That, in my mashed potatoes!"

"Oh shit, it's a feather! It’s a white chicken feather!"

My sister always goes to a place called Pancake Farm for breakfast. She claims that every time she goes, she finds hair in her food. But when I went, I didn't find any, and nobody else that has gone with her has, either. So who knows? Hair in food is nasty, though. I found hair in my spaghetti once at some Italian restaurant. I didn't go back there again.

There should be a law that says anyone who works in a restaurant in the kitchen MUST wear a hairnet.

Post 13 by SunshineAndRain (I'm happily married, a mom of two and a fulltime college student.) on Saturday, 05-Jul-2008 3:06:00

I though there was a law that stated that... Hmmm. Well, I ate Burger King earlier, and, Thank God, but it didn't have guts and tubes in it. Although I must say I did think about it while I was eating, and I sorta lost my appetite... I didn't get a chicken burger though. I got a Whopper with cheese, no onions and a side salad instead of fries and a large iced tea. Nope, no chicken guts for me.

Here's where I start feeling guilty for spoiling peoples' apetites... Sorry!

there is definitely a law about hair nets, gloves, too, for that matter.
It didn't happen in a restaurant, but while I was working at a church camp, we opened a can fo green beans and found a rat's foot in the bottom of it. Thank goodness we didn't serve them before we noticed it.
We wrote the company and sent them pics and they said it was just a piece of green bean stem! Yeah, right!

I've probably told this story in QN's some time, but my friend told me horror stories about Del Taco. She told me how one of the guys she worked with, would jack off in to the thing of sour cream, and spit in the beans. luckily, according to her, this guy is probably in jail somewhere.

Post 17 by SunshineAndRain (I'm happily married, a mom of two and a fulltime college student.) on Sunday, 20-Jul-2008 5:14:55

Oh thank God he's in jail. I like Del Taco. Probably nobody but Southern Californians and people in Nevada and Arizona know what we're talking about. It's a shame he spit in the beans... Those beans aare real slow-cooked beans. Taco Bell's beans are just refried beans from a can. And jacking off in the sour cream... Yuck. I once saw a movie where a guy put a pubic hair on a slice of cheese pizza to see if this girl would notice it. (Makes me cringe)

Ok, that's just sick. Lets hope he's in jail somewhere.

when my parents went to a restaurant years ago, mom found a cocroach in her food and dad found one on his plate!

Post 21 by SunshineAndRain (I'm happily married, a mom of two and a fulltime college student.) on Wednesday, 06-Aug-2008 15:58:24

Yeah, we've been to two differen restaurants in the past month that both had cockroaches crawling on the floor. Yuck.

Gees, talk about a health risk. I hope those places were shut down.

So, I have a friend who use to work at KFC. She told me once, that there was this rude lady ordering some sandwich thing. And my friend's friend, who also worked there just had had enough. She apparently, blew snot into the bread, and rubbed it to go unnoticed. Then my friend's friend sold it to the lady.
I was like, wtf, I'm not eating at KFC again
moral of the story?
don't piss off the people making your food.

My old bus-driver told me that a friend of hers (who is black) used to work at KFC. She said that these really racist customers used to come in and say that they wanted the white lady to fix their food, and they trust the black girl. So the two of them put Tabasco sauce and pepper in the old peopes' food. Definitely don't piss off the cooks, no matter where you go.

Post 25 by SunshineAndRain (I'm happily married, a mom of two and a fulltime college student.) on Friday, 08-Aug-2008 17:46:36

I meant to say they didn't trust. Anyway, my bad. Lol.

Almost three years ago, my family and I went to a Mexican resturant called Casa Olae after my cousin's college graduation. Not only did we wait for an eternity for our food, but my sister and cousin ordered fajitas. They were cold. Sounds yummy, right? Not really. The waitor also mixed up a few orders as well.

I would be grossed out too. I haven't had much trouble with restaurants. I've had slow service, orders being mixxed up. I heard on the news that a burger king was serving cheesburgers, and they had worms in them. How gross!

Post 28 by audioadict (I'm going for the prolific poster awards!) on Saturday, 17-Jan-2009 6:31:37

I also heard on the news that at a mcDonalds, I think, a girl found a chicken head in her chicken nuggets. A chicken head? Yuck!Creaps me out!

Post 29 by Click_Clash (No Average Angel) on Saturday, 17-Jan-2009 11:39:57

And let's not forget the girls who bathed in the sink at... where was it? KFC?

For me, every day in my elementary school's cafeteria was a horror story. Roaches, spider webs in corn, sour milk... you name it.

Oh look, it's breakfast time! Hahahaha.

Post 30 by SunshineAndRain (I'm happily married, a mom of two and a fulltime college student.) on Saturday, 17-Jan-2009 16:02:36

I found a rock in my soup the other day at Olive Garden. Won't keep me from going there, though. I love that place.

Oh yeah Becky, at my blink institution food was terrifying. Uncooked meat, spiderwebs, roaches, spiders, bugs of kinds known and unknown, feathers, hair, pebbles, beads, nail clippings, snot, even blood once...

I found a bone in my taco once, at I forgot where. My sister whent to eat icecream, and she found a hair in her icecream.

Ug, glad I'm not eating now. I hated cafeteria food, like most of you. It is so unhealthy, and sometimes contaminated. My advice, never get cafeteria food unless you have too.

Post 34 by Click_Clash (No Average Angel) on Sunday, 18-Jan-2009 12:22:22

lol, actually, the blind school had better food than my elementary school. Not better-tasting, but safer. Haha.
