Just wondering why it's always in the negative rather than the positive.
probably because that phrase is usually posted in response to a negative comments about the place. and people want to respond to that negativity but not appear too supportive, or else get blasted for having shitty taste. as in:
Rohan2Reed: "That place is terrible, worst food i've ever had"
Anyone else: "I've Never Had A Bad Meal There"
Rohan2Reed:
rather than:
Rohan2Reed: "That place is terrible, worst food i've ever had"
Anyone else: "best meal i've ever had"
Rohan2Reed: "Maybe you had your taste buds burned off in a McDonald's coffee accident."

"Worst I've ever had" is another commonly used food term.
A lot of people seem to talk in absolutes with everything. It either sucks or it's great. And if they like one place over another they will say x is better than y and its not even close when it actually is close.
To answer the OP's question, i think it's just another cliche expression usually used in defense of negative reviews. At least most of the time.

Hey, it's possible. Why don't you take a science class or something.
