Worst Meal in Brooklyn?
As 2006 winds down, everybody seems to be making “Best Of” lists, but here at the Brooklyn Record, it’s hard to narrow down the list of our favorite local spots. So, how about helping our readers avoid the worst food our borough has to offer instead? Since we’ll eat almost anything set in front of…
As 2006 winds down, everybody seems to be making “Best Of” lists, but here at the Brooklyn Record, it’s hard to narrow down the list of our favorite local spots. So, how about helping our readers avoid the worst food our borough has to offer instead? Since we’ll eat almost anything set in front of us, we’re going to need your help with this one. What’s the most disappointing meal (or morsel) you’ve eaten this year? If you’ve experienced a chewy steak, a stinky fish, a sad excuse for a sandwich, or a wildly overhyped restaurant, leave us a comment — and don’t spare us the dirty details.
Please note: We can’t speak for the “tiny fishies” pictured above, but a Flickr photographer who goes by Urch snapped the photo at a Brooklyn Heights barbecue and labeled them “gross.”
3. Relish: I got some kind of hash that had little cubes of ham in it, and they were RAW! Yuck! Plus the staff is unbearable!
2. Queen’s Hideaway: I waited almost two hours (dumb move) and got served three measly jerky-sized strips of buffalo meat with a slice of white bread on a plate. WTF?
1. Baci & Abbracci: I just went there for the first time for Dine In Brooklyn, so I don’t know if it’s unfair to judge with the prix fixe sitch, but YUCK! My lasagne was terrible! The pasta was overcooked and cold and pasty in my mouth. HORRIBLE!
The readers and commentators of this blog seem like immature, griping ignoramuses. This is one of the most cynical, idiotic sites I have ever seen and you should all be ashamed of your pathetic selves for blithely critiquing other people’s food and hard work when you clearly have mediocre and sophmoric standards.
REMOVE THE PICTUE OF THE KOREAN DISH IN YOUR ARTICLE. IT IS A DRIED ANCHOVY WITH HOT PEPPERS THAT KOREANS EAT.
SHAME ON YOU FOR USING THAT PICTURE FOR WORSE MEAL IN BROOKLYN.
GROW UP !!!!!!!!
I had a terrible meal at Bar Minnow on Seventh Ave in Park Slope. The service was painfull slow despite the fact that it was a Tuesday and the place was empty), the oysters were dried out (so nasty) and after our first serving of “all-you-can-eat” mussels, our waitress told us that we actually couldn’t get more than two bowls. I would never go back to this place, and will never even have the chance to: I saw that they closed recently. What a shame.
I second the vote against Diner in Williamsburg… same owners as Bonita so it figures. At least the staff at Bonita doesn’t act like they’re doing you a favor when you order.
Personally, I like Lobo. Food is so so but the blood orange margarita with cinamon infused tequila is worth the trip.
Worst: Miracle Grill (a nice space with simply awful food and even worse margaritas)
Biscuit (a 10 year old kid could make brisket taste better)
Lobo (I saw them stirring their guacamole to get the “brown” out of it, it’d been stored in plastic container in the fridge. Hey guys, how about mashing a fresh avocado, it takes 2 minutes).
Best: Song (always a pleasure even if the room is a bit too West Elm).
Maria’s (you CAN get good mexican food in the slope and now you can sit at the bar and enjoy a pomegranate margarita and some pozole).
The Good Fork (I dream about their Korean style steak with a fried egg on top).
There’s good good food, good bad food, and then there’s shit. What’s so disappoining about the Kellogg Diner is that what could so easily be good bad food is consistently just plain shit. When an all-night diner can’t make fried eggs and home fries worth eating on a hangover, that’s beyond bad – it’s offensive. I get mad just thinking about that place.
Best meal I’ve had in Brooklyn: Aurora.
NoNo Kitchen: Can I get a waiter?? Wake me up when one comes. Way overpriced, even though Jambalaya is very good. Not ONE bottle of wine under $40? Are you joking?? How stupid can you get.
