What’s an overrated restaurant?

[JustinTheGreat]

In-n-Out 🥴
We don’t have it around my area but I’ve always heard everyone hyping it up. I was excited to try it during my trip to LA but it was disappointing.
The only good thing about it was the prices. It was cheaper than McDonald’s 😳

It's an extreme rarity for me to eat fast food, but I'd have to agree with In-N-Out! Because of the cult-like status it has attained because of the movie The Big Lebowski, I was all excited to try In-N-Out when I finally visited So-Cal in 2014, but I was pretty underwhelmed with it. I tried it three separate times, but it was all pretty much the same. Which is to say fairly boring and uninspired.

Honestly, I think the hype has more to do with The Big Lebowski, as well as being just something people in that region grew up with. However, I'd choose other big chains before going to an In-N-Out again.

At least I got an In-N-Out T-shirt for my dad... and yes, I love The Big Lebowski too. lol

Sounds more like a Brothel than a restaurant

over in the UK, there are a few of these pretentious

mainly where they decrease the portion size by 50% and raise the price by 90%

Then it becomes a place people rave about, you go and walk out needing another meal

Pretty much any large North American restaurant were the chef and staff are not of the ethnicity of the food. Then you're destined to eat a cheap ripoff of said ethnic food because locals don't know any better.

Like a Chinese restaurant I tried last week. A spring roll should NOT be the tastiest thing you're eating. Or the Indian restaurant the week before that that was not fit for dogfood in India.

So that's a lot of restaurants in the US

I agree with you, another one I think is overrated is KFC. I had it many many years ago. That chicken is tasteless and too bloody for my taste 🤮 you want to have a good tasty chicken, try Apollo Campero 😋

[RobT312]

yes agreed, In-n-Out is overrated.
i think you nailed it... there are so many restaurants that either have cult following, or hyped up by reviewers or media as being amazing, and they really aren't that great.
you walk in with high expectations, and its then a let down

Chick- Fil-a

Everybody at work thinks is the next best thing the Christ himself. They rave about Chick - Fil - a. The food is bland and tasteless. Their "chicken" sandwiches have no flare and it feels like I am eating the same old processed "chicken".

Fuck you Chick - Fil-A

Fuck you.

[Dinklex3]

Chick Fil A.
Finally tried it when visiting my friend in Flordia. She's obssessed with it.
I do not understand what the hype is about.
The only thing thats super good is their kale salad.

[JustinTheGreat]

I like their southwest salad with the avocado dressing

[jennifer_bloom]

I say little Caesar’s, their pizza is cheap but tastes worse than unflavoured white rice and has no entertainment value at all.

Olive Garden. All the food in the menu is the same! Same pasta, different/cold noodles 🍝😝

[JustinTheGreat]

I work at Olive Garden and I agree lol
I mean it’s good but it got real tiring really quickly

[FictionalCharacter]

I never had cold spaghetti till I went to Olive Garden. And the honey rolls don’t make up for it.

[JustinTheGreat]

I have never been a fan of the breadsticks! Everyone always loves them and hypes them up but they’re not that great 😭

[FictionalCharacter]

Ooof! Bring me a sprite 🧊

[Still-alive]

in my opinion its five guys. i hate how they have no combo's and the burgers really aren't all that. very pricey too. people heap all this praise on them and i just don't get it.

[JustinTheGreat]

I think they’re delicious but their prices are outrageous

[Smashingdoozy]

Honestly any chain restaurant. They're all just shit

[josephinelcajon]

In-N-out is really good both in food quality and how they treat their employees.

[MCheetah]

Shake Shack. That sh*t is mediocre at best.

[JustinTheGreat]

I don’t think they’re good is too bad but they’re always too hust and it’s impossible to find a table

[Lyndsielee666]

In n it is gross 🤢 unseasoned ass fries

[Lyndsielee666]

Out**

[JustinTheGreat]

Exactlyyyy, the fries had like no salt on them. Then I tried them animal style and they were even worse

[Lyndsielee666]

Not the cat puke fries 🤮

[BlueStripedSoul]

@Lyndsielee666 Wow yeah, I remember the fries now! As mentioned in my post, I only had In-N-Out three times (at three different locations) while I was in So-Cal in 2014, but I remember each time the fries were awful! So dull and flavourless! I just remember being so disappointed with In-N-Out overall. I thought maybe the first time I just got an unfortunately plain-tasting order of food, so I tried it a second time and was just as disappointed. After the third time of the same dull food I considered my In-N-Out days over forever. lol

[Lyndsielee666]

@BlueStripedSoul they’re mad fresh and just not seasoned literally at all 😂😂

[Still-alive]

*gasp* i love in n out :o

[BlueStripedSoul]

@Lyndsielee666 It's like they're allergic to seasoning their fries or something. At least half-ass throw some salt on there. Sheesh. lol
