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.”
GRAVY. I went there twice to give them a second chance. I like the decor of the place and even the menu is good. Just plain simple comfort food. But, hey, do the know how to screew up the simplest dish.
It really is too bad, because it has so many other things going for it, but now I don’t go back there.
But isn’t Junior’s an institution :p
I never liked Junior’s cheesecake. Does that make me a heretic?
Stone Park by far. The food is bad, but it’s made even worse by the absoultely horrible waitstaff, and the arrogant and unfriendly maitre’d, who I presume is also one of the owners.
I second Juniors. Went there in the middle of the night after some drinking and ordered a strawberry egg cream. It was made with frozen stawberries. It was frothy. Excuse me for getting graphic but it resembled a chunky period.
Tacu Tucu in Williamsburg, Food Sucks!!! Drinks are good.
kat: Maria’s on Union. near the corner of 4th is very good. (Park Slope)
Gravy on Smith is pretty bad and it’s Mexican sister/neighbor Pacifico isn’t much better…and I agree Lobo is consistantly yuck, too. Are there any good Mexican restaurants west of 4th Ave.?
I agree that Stone Park is highly overrated. Mediocre food and an unpleasant atmosphere. Honorable mention to Bouillabaisse in Carroll Gardens, for turning us away from a half-empty restaurant because we didn’t have a reservation, after telling us on the phone that they don’t take reservations but we would have “no problem” getting a table.
Diner (in Williamsburg).
They just throw butter on everything in place of good cooking.
