Most Mexican restaurants do this! They don't think anything about it!

Screw that dump. I got in a heated argument several years ago with the owners. I had a little bit of a Margarita left, and the waitress ask me did I want a to go cup. I replied sure, well I got to the cash register and the lady asked what's in the cup? When i told her she literally snatched it from my hand and throwed it in the trash! It was on then son Had co-worker find a roach in his food! He showed the manager and you know they expected him to pay for the shucks!

My bad Charlie that was at El toro's when that happened. The one in tillmans corner..

They are all the same probably. The one that burned down a couple of years ago I heard was because they just leave the pot of beans on the stove all the time and it caught fire in the middle of the night.

Damn...just damn

LOL
Reminds me of when I worked night shift in Montgomery. Mt partner decided he wanted to hit the Taco Bell on Zelda Rd about late in the night. Now, most places in Montgomery used work release inmates, (probably still do). He orders a nacho plate thing and pulls up. An older black guy, obviously an inmate, smiles and says, "I made this special for you", while smiling.

My partner looks funny and says, "what the hell you mean special?" The guy says, " I made it extra good for you, put more meat on it." We pulled off and I was dying laughing, asking if he was going to eat it. He examined it, and then said screw it, I'm hungry, and ate it.

This was before Super Troopers came out, so it's even funnier that the guy said that similar to the scene in the movie.

ETA; excuse my rambling, off work so been in the whiskey a little.

This is one of the reasons why we cook at home so much.

Was eating at a Ryans in South Haven, Ms a few years ago. Was in line getting a salad. A six or seven year old kid (unsupervised) walks up to the salad bar in front of me and takes a huge sneeze into everything in the salad bar. This was one of those nasty green snot sneezes. Of course at his height, he was right under the hood that supposedly keeps people from getting breath, food or any other bodily fluid into the food. I dropped my plate and walked out the door. I think that put a damper on most of my dinning at places with open food bars.

100% True most commercial kitchens would scare you to death take it from someone who has been in tons of them, I have been in some that looked like they had not cleaned them for years especially in between and behind the cooking equipment....

But I still eat at them just not the ones I know are nasty just the ones that I know nothing about...

I helped demo a few Checkers probably 6 years ago. And I've Never been back Checkers

Makes you hungry reading about all this doesn't it. Cant remember the name of the place but we had a Chinese restaurant down here and it got closed down because the inspection found cats and dogs hanging in the freezer

I have had several pretty gross encounters myself.
At a McDonalds in leeds about 10 years ago, my entire family went through the drive through.. They did not give mom her Quarter Pounder, so we circled back around, got the burger and went home. Instead of being in a box, it was in a wrapper, no big deal.
Mom ate half of it, sat it down and the paper came open. She then took it out of the paper to finish eating it and someone had taken a bite out of it. We didnt go back to McDonalds for years after that.

Last year at the Sonic in leeds, mom ordered a chicken sandwich on toast. When she got it, the back corner of the bread was molded so bad it looked furry. She hasnt went back there yet.

Buddy of mine found a dead worm in his burger at McDonalds a couple years ago.

My mom, dad and myself were all at WaffleHouse in leeds about 4 or 5 years ago. Watched a little rat run across the trim piece about 3/4 of the way up the wall. He ran all the way down to where the cook was, stopped, and turned around.

Same wafflehouse a few years prior, we watched a cook that was sweating like something i had never seen. He was drenched in sweat and it was dripping on the food as he prepared it. We walked out on that one and about puked.

While not disgusting, this one was pretty funny and ironic...We were at a chinese place by the k mart in trussville about 8 years ago. We were joking about different things that Chinese people ate, and we heard a loud banging noise from the kitchen. We immediately looked around and a full grown grey cat proceeded to run through the restaurant.

Boomerangs in Clanton..Were eating there one night after a softball game and my daughter dropped something.Looked under the table and a dead rat in a rat trap was laying under it.Never went back and its closed now..Also last 2 times we eat at Waffle House in Clanton there's been hair in my wife's food.As much as I like a Texas cheesesteak with hashbrowns I won't go back.

We were in Dothan a few years back at a Chinese restaurant and watched the employee put his hands in his pants to fix his junk and then proceeded to put food out on the buffet. Left and haven't been back. The bad thing about all of these stories is I travel all week and eat out almost all meals between Monday through Thursday.

Ok. Who's eating out today?

At a Jacks one morning I saw 2 teen age boy, in what appeared to be a Booger Picking contest. They were comparing them with each other. And laughing. I had to leave and lay brick on an empty stomah that day!

I worked at the McDonald's across from what is now Parkway Place in Huntsville while I was in college. The two grossest things I ever saw there :

DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU ARE EATING OR HAVE JUST EATEN ...

- One weekend night I went to clean the men's bathroom. Someone had chit on a toilet seat then proceeded to smear it all over the seat and stall walls with their hands. I had to clean that up ...
- Another weekend night I went to clean the women's bathroom. There were used tampons stuck to the walls ... Obviously several girls had taken turns going in there to make that mess ... I had to clean that up too ...

The Micky dees in Jemison has been closed twice because of maggots mostly in the bottom of the ice cream maker, seems they never cleaned it out just put new stuff in it on top of the old...I Never eat there at all!!!!!

Chinese joint on north parkway, up by lowes in hsv. Boss went in and was eating lunch...lots of loud Chinese talk/yelling...guy comes from kitchen with a minnow net. Fishes dead goldfish/guppy outta the tank and my boss watched him take it to the kitchen, put it in a bowl and place in the fridge/freezer.

Pay attention to the glass entry door when you go in. If the entire door has finger prints from top to bottom then you know it hasn't been cleaned for some time. Pay attention to the lobby/dining area. These areas are a restaurants show room. If they make no effort to keep the space the customer see's clean imagine what the space you don't see looks like.
