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.”
Seconding Madiba and Lobo. Ugh, ugh, ugh.
I second Junior’s and Kellogg’s Diner! You don’t even need to say they’re the worst of 2006 specifically, they’re just the all-time worst EVER. It’s true, how do they (both!) manage to screw up a grilled cheese sandwich?
I usually adore Perch, but on a recent visit, we each got absolutely undrinkable cocktails, and my husband’s Rosemary Chicken was completely raw inside. They didn’t charge him full price – they charged him HALF because he ate some before seeing the middle, and we were just too stunned to say anything.
sunday brunch at stone park cafe in park slope is just awful. the food is completely mediocre and grossly overpriced, the water glasses smell like wet dog and the wait staff is completely unfriendly and unattentive. never again.
i’ve heard the burgers are good though.
Juniors.
The Kellogg Diner (site of the recent police stabbing) is by far the worst food I’ve ever tasted. I know it’s just diner food, but, c’mon, folks, how can you screw up a grilled cheese sandwich and french fries?
the food at Lobos (Court St.) in Cobble Hill was pretty dismal. We hated the food at Nana in Park Slope though it probably appeals to recent college grads w/o discriminating taste and a small wallet. Too much sloppy sweet sauce, not authentic at all.
my worst meal this year was at madiba. this was the most overpriced and worst brunch place i’ve ever been to. EVER.
Lamb & Jaffy messed up what should have been a good birthday dinner for me and my girl over the weekend. Soups were fine, apps were fine, but the entrees (both a lamb burger and a duck breast with sweet potato puree and pomegranate seeds) were beyond salty. Balances of flavors were *way* off, service was terrible, and we needed about a gallon or so of water to rinse the taste away. They even served up the fries cold and soggy.
Just goes to show that the Queens’ Hideaway is pretty much the only game in Greenpoint for quality dining.
