So the Arby's closing thread and subsequent posts about who is closing next got me thinking, what are the worst (reviewed) restaurants in BR? A LINK search didn't give them to me. I tried replacing the LOW in the search string to WORST and SUCKS to no avail. No good engine with reviews lets you sort or see 1 star reviews that I can find. Where can you see the suckiest of the suckers?

I think the Joe's Crab Shack on Siegen was the lowest rated in town, could be wrong tho

Drove by there and they have a sign out celebrating their 20 years in business I bet not one of those years did they pass a health board check.

Ate there a few years back, hungry and wanted something quick. We were so pissed at how bad it was we agreed not to talk about it.

My buddy is an HVAC guy. He got called over there in the summer a couple of years back. He said it was about 95 in the kitchen when he arrived. He walked in the back kitchen door and there was a dude sitting on the floor clad only in a pair of gym shorts (no shirt, no shoes). Said the dude had two giant bowls of raw chicken and was tearing the chicken into chunks or doing some other prep work with his bare hands. ON THE FLOOR and sweating all over the food. I can't get that image out of my mind no matter where I eat Chinese.

Question 1: Do you think most of your food prepped in a kitchen is done with gloves on?
Question 2: Do you think it's a bad thing they are using their bare hands instead of gloves?

ON THE FLOOR

If the chicken is being shred in the bowls, I'm not really over concerned with where he's shredding it.

That's pretty gross but I promise you it's happened way more than any of us would like to know.

What a very odd place.

I went to the one off Bluebonnet when it first opened. The menu was lenghty, and odd. Like some combination of Mediterranean food and Applebee's trying to have a "New Orleans" selection...with fresh caught Tilapia. I ordered a sandwich. My wife did too. With the sandwich you could get a side of fries, "house made chips", etc. My wife asked the waitress, "how are the house made chips". Her response was, "Uh...they are just regular Lays potato chips" The sandwich wasn't too much more than a gas station ham sandwich

I knew at that moment the restaurant wasn't going to last. Surprisingly, it did for about two years. Then I saw it inexplicably moved to Perkins Rowe (I guess more of a commentary on Perkins Rowe than anything else). Looks like it didn't last long

Prep cooks don't wear gloves very often. That's not a thing. Even the shirtless guys in the back of the asian restaurant don't wear gloves...he should probably have a shirt though

I had a similar experience (a couple times)t. I'm fairly shocked it lasted as long as it did. I imagine they burned through some cash trying to keep those doors open. It was always empty.

But WHERE can you go online to see the restaurants with 1 star? All I've seen let you sort to 3 stars and that's it.

Drusilla seafood has improved recently. I went and was pleasantly surprised.

Drusilla’s sensation salad is still worth an occasional trip

Never understood why people enjoy Jay’s
