Customers Who Just Wanted To Enjoy A Normal Serving Of Food
Every chef wants to create a memorable menu and have an overall dining experience that customers are going to remember, but sometimes they go overboard, speeding right past unique and going to straight to weird.
As much as you want a fun dining experience at a new restaurant, you also want to enjoy your meal, and making you dig in a garden box for your mushrooms is not the way to get a returning customer.
Special Edition Butcher Barbie
If anyone is looking for the worst possible way to serve deli meat at their next dinner party, you're looking at it. Barbie didn't deserve this treatment, and neither did your guests.
You're Just Going To Shovel It In Anyway
They know you're hungover and you're going to be shoveling that food into your face without really stopping to think about how it tastes, so this restaurant figured they'd give you an actual shovel to help.
How Do You Wash This?
We're not saying the way that you're choosing to serve food is unsanitary...but there's no way you have a dishwasher big enough to fit those skateboards in, so we have questions.
All We Wanted Was A Simple Salad
Your friends insisted on going to that fancy new restaurant, so you figured you'd order something simple that couldn't turn out too badly, but now you're stuck with a deconstructed salad and no utensils.
Make Eating Your Vegetables Even Worse
You have enough trouble getting your kids to eat their broccoli, now you have to convince them to risk their life by eating it off a piece of barbed wire? Good luck.
Is This A Yolk?
The menu said that this item was sorbetto with foam served in a lightbulb on a bed of dried grass, but honestly, that really doesn't help us understand this item any better than we did before.
You're Testing Our Patience
You asked for a cup of coffee at the restaurant so you could get your morning shot of caffeine, and this is what they brought you, so now you're caffeine-deprived and annoyed.
Dig For Your Dinner
If you want mushrooms as a side at this restaurant, you're going to have to be willing to go hunting for them. You've got to be ready to sing for your supper, or in this case, dig for your dinner.
Don't Ruin Spaghetti
If you've ever wished that your spaghetti was a little colder and a little stiffer when eating in a restaurant, this is the place you should be eating your pasta.
One Potato Is Never Enough
What crazy person designed a menu and thought that one single potato would ever be enough to satisfy someone? When it comes to potatoes, you can never have too many.
A Bare Bones Meal
If you're confused about whether you're looking at the start of a meal or a dish that someone has already finished off, that makes two of us. And we have no answers to provide.
Lady Gaga Would Love This
Whoever thought that meat hanging from a chandelier at a dinner party was a good form of decoration...we'd just like to talk to you. Walk us through your decision-making process.
No Dish Is Too Broken
You see a broken dish, we see an opportunity to create a new dining experience. All those clumsy people who never thought they could be waiters finally have the opportunity to shine without fear of breaking it.
Is It A Drink Or A Buffet Table?
What is it about Caesars that make restaurants think they should include a whole meal with them? It's already a filling meal, we don't need a cold pepperoni pizza along with it.
The Green Stuff Is Your Dessert
You made the mistake of ordering a wasabi spongecake for dessert in the first place, and now your punishment is having to eat your cake off of a literal wooden log.
Improve Your Eyesight While Being Annoyed
Very few times (if any) has anyone thought to themselves while drinking their morning latte that they wished their coffee had more carrot flavor to it, and there's a reason for that.
Send The Dishwasher Home
This restaurant and their drinks served in plastic bags are clearly not concerned about their environmental impact, unless you can convince us that they reuse these bags after every customer.
Pixar-Approved Menu
No one is really sure what the purpose of the Pixar-esque lamp is for this particular dish, other than to shine a spotlight on how to strange the food is that you're about to eat.
Meat Makes Every Drink Better
We love a spicy Caesar with fun toppings as much as the next person, but how are we supposed to drink something that has half a cow sitting on the rim?
Presentation Over Practicality
Sure, salad is one of those things that you're probably going to eat first, and you're going to eat it fairly quickly so it wouldn't get too soggy as the ice melts, but that doesn't mean this is right.
We'd Be Bloody Fuming At This Plating
Everything about this makes us not want to eat it. We have no doubt that this dessert cost a pretty penny and it makes for a great photo, but we can't stomach it.
Make It Saucy
We're not complaining about the fact that this restaurant was heavy-handed with the chocolate sauce, but we are complaining about the fact that it drips all over the table (and our clothing) as a result of this presentation.
Barbed Wire With A Side Of Beef
When going to a fancy restaurant or a restaurant that you know likes to get a little crazy with the plating, there are some foods that you might think would be easier to play around with than others. Beef wellington, though, is not one of those foods.
Stairway To Sushi Heaven
This isn't the most ridiculous plating we've seen, but it takes up way too much room on the table. All-you-can-eat sushi requires all-you-can-eat space on the table. If I have to choose between aesthetics and volume, I'm opting for volume every time.
Which Parts Are The Food?
You thought you were going out for dinner, but after you order your meal, the waiter brings this to your table, and you can't help but wonder if you wandered into a garden center by accident.
Juice Sold Separately
If you want orange juice with your brunch, you're going to have to squeeze it yourself. This restaurant will give you everything you need, but assembly is not included in the price.
The Bun-To-Meat Ratio Is Way Off
A giant burger with 10 patties seemed like a great idea in theory, but in actuality, how the heck is anyone supposed to eat something that stands two feet tall?
We Could See Ourselves Eating This
For all those times that you thought to yourself, "I really wish I could look in a mirror while I'm eating dessert," this restaurant has you covered. Plus now if a waiter drops dishes, they'll not only lose their job, they'll have seven years of bad luck too!
Taking The Theme To Dangerous Levels
A Wimbledon-themed meal seemed like a good idea at the time, but this food is far too precariously perched for us to feel comfortable. One tap on that handle and your food is going to be flying everywhere.
Have Fun Licking The Table
The restaurant said their signature dessert was a work of art, an absolute must-try, but why have they painted it all over your table? What're you supposed to do with that?
Someone's In The Dog House
As if serving your customers food in dog bowls wasn't a strange enough concept already, the food also resembles something that you would scoop out of a tin can to feed to your precious pup.
Don't Fix What Isn't Broken
There is no reason to serve bacon like this. If someone is ordering bacon, they already love it and know how good it is. You don't need to dangle it in front of them with chip clips.
The Charcuterie Checklist
We understand that you want to make your plating memorable so that people talk about your restaurant or your company, but cheese and bread doesn't need to be done dirty like this.
"Deconstructed" Corn On The Cob
Having someone individually place kernels of corn onto skewers feels like an activity you do with small children to keep them entertained, not something you serve to people as a meal that they have to pay for.
They Didn't Put Their Best Foot Forward
We're not even going to touch on the fact that it's being served in an egg cup shaped like a chicken's foot, but in what world does a single strawberry count as a serving of dessert?
Where's The Rest Of It?
The waiter told you to hold out your hand for your dessert... You were expecting him to hand you a plate, not place a blob of hardened sugar in your hand with citrus in the middle.
Springroll Supermarket
If you wanted to be eating food out of a grocery cart, you would've saved the money you paid for this appetizer and just headed over to the frozen aisle at Walmart.
Two Clouds On A Log
First of all, since when are there restaurants that serve cotton candy as a dessert option? If it weren't for the fact that they were serving it on literal logs, we'd be interested.
Can We Get Some More Chips?
You ordered nachos for the table as an appetizer thinking it would tide the family over until dinner, but these 6 chips on a clothesline are barely enough for everyone to nibble on.
Would Gelatin Melt With Hot Food In It?
If you were going to make the creative decision to serve fritters in a shoe made of gelatin, why wouldn't you have gone to the effort of making the shoelaces edible too?
