Best/worst place you've eaten recently

Best
Duke's in Denham. From the drinks to the appetizers and meal everything was pretty good. I'd definitely go again.
Worst
McDonald's in Hammond. Was helping a friend move all day this past Saturday and was too tired to cook or shop for dinner so I hit the drive thru. Haven't been to McDonald's in about 5 years. After 2 bites, I questioned whether or not this was actually fit for human consumption.

Was pleasantly surprised with my meal at Big Bad Bites in Gonzales the other day.
Got a meatball sub that was a bit messy, but absolutely delicious for a fast food-ish type of place.

Best - Palmetto's on the Bayou in Slidell. Incredible atmosphere, filet was amazing.
Worst- P Beau's in denham. They ysed to be great pre pandemic. Firing on all cylinders. food was top notch, atmosphere was great, service was great. Went in there 2 weeks ago and the food was terrible. Half of the food we got was literally cold, like right out of the refrigerator. the outside of the food was warm but inside was cold. fries were way overcooked. server was a nice guy but disappeared for long periods to go smoke and came back freshly dipped in cigarette smoke.

Best:
TenTen in downtown Austin. Great sushi and drinks, very nice atmosphere, excellent service even for Covid times. Was expensive, but it’s a great special occasion type of place.
Worst:
Voodoo donuts. My wife wanted to try it because they offer a lot of vegan options. They are all oversized, over decorated sugar bombs. Even for donuts, they are way too sweet.

For this exercise, I’ll use places (locations) that we tried for the first time, and it has been within the last three months.
Best: Salud de Mesilla in Las Cruses, NM. Top tier margaritas, fantastic homemade salsa, and delicious entrees. I normally don’t order steaks at restaurants anymore because I end up disappointed, but this one was worth the price of admission.
Worst: Ninfas in Missouri City, TX. Yes, the Ninfas on Navigation in Houston is delicious. I even enjoyed many moons ago the Ninfas in Lafayette. So after Mass one Sunday evening, we were looking for a Mexican place to eat, and realized “There’s a Ninfas just down the road we’ve never been to before”. The place was horrible. Salsa still pretty good, but other than that, food way below average, certainly below the Ninfas standard we had previously know. Also, the restaurant smelled, especially the hallway where the restrooms were. We almost left upon sitting down, but decided since we haven’t eaten Ninfas in forever, lets bear it and hope the food is the same. Our hopes were murdered brutally that night.

The worst place I'v eaten recently is Pascal's Manale. The food was some of the worst food I've eaten in NOLA.

I’m not surprised at all that your worst happened to be a vegan donut place

Best - Robertos in St Gabriel got a killer steak with some lump crabmeat on top the other day
Worst - LSU Concessions at the Kentucky game. Pretty sure the pretzel I got was made during football season. But I shouldve known better...

Best:
Fat Canary in Williamsburg, oyster stew, short ribs, and some of the best cocktails I have had in a while. They introduced me to Basil Hayden dark rye.
Worst:
Three B's in Lakeview. Normally the food is serviceable but they changed the burger bowl and now it is kale and cabbage in a dressing and it sucked.
The old fashioned was good though

This should not be a thing in the first place.

I went to a local steakhouse this weekend and sat for an hour and a half and still no food. Ended up leaving cash for the two drinks I had that also took 20-30 minutes to get.
I wasn't mad or anything. Was just a weird experience. When I called prior to make a reservation it sounded like the place was empty and that they would be more than able to accommodate a 2 top.

Best: Chow Yum Fat, taco Tuesday is the best.
Worst: Pappadeaux's in Birmingham. Food wasn't bad, but $92 for 2 cocktails and 2 grilled shrimp salads?

I think the complete opposite of you. I went a few times when it first opened and was not impressed. I went for the first time since like a month ago and was very impressed.
Best - Portabello's, Blue Corn Modern Mexican, and Schlitz n Giggles (I forgot how great their pizza is) and Bonta Del Forno (It was disgusting the first try and it was excellent the second try. I got the Chicken Marsala first and the spaghetti the second time).
Worst - Chilis was in a slump for a while but its Chilis. And I haven't had any above average fast food in a long time. I couldn't tell you the last time I had a hot burger or sandwich from any FF. I havn't had any terrible experience with restaurants lately. I guess it is because most of them know they are on their last leg.

Well I have Celiac so it's better than a crappy gluten free bun

Are they usually busy when you eat there? Seems like they would be struggling.
