Why don't you email them or call and speak to the manager and let them know your meal was bad and that you think you were overcharged for your drinks?

Chances are they will give you your money back for the drinks you didn't order, and since they want you to give them another try they will probably give you something else. Not that you should do it for the free shite, but they want you to give them another shot and they want to know what they are doing poorly... They don't want you to go tell all your friends how bad of an experience you had when it sounds like it was an average meal where you didn't review your receipt.

I tried to leave a review on their website, but you have to enter a phone number and email. I did this and the next screen said by hitting enter, I agree to receive notifications and stuff for different shite. So I deleted the review.
There’s a difference between an ok meal (not good, but not bad), and the garbage I was served yesterday.
If it was just OK, I’d maybe give them another chance. I won’t with what they served Saturday.

Of course you would leave an online review.

It’s not just an on line review, you leave the review under each dish. So the BBQ platter has its own review section. The link is on their website, under each plate on the menu.

An antiquetiger FDB thread turned into a shitshow, who could’ve predicted such a thing

I don’t think you understand why my lack of surprise exists.

I mean, I’ve been to a small handful of places that were just so completely horrid across the board that it was obvious nothing was ever going to redeem them. I guess a number of those probably shut down before I even had a chance to contemplate giving them another shot.

Having been to City Pork (although not recently) I find it hard to believe it is at such a level for anyone. Hell, much of the guy’s review is basically lukewarm to decent on most aspects of the place. It certainly doesn’t read like what I would consider a ‘completely writing off’ type of experience. But maybe some diners just aren’t forgiving at all. It would seem there must be a long “list” for such folks if they dine out somewhat frequently.

I’m still laughing at the fact that OP really thought their beers were $9 for domestics and $12 for craft beers. That’s Tiger Stadium prices

Must've been buying Ghost in the Machine if they're that price.

Regardless, I've never seen even Ghost go for more than $9/pint

I know you’re getting shite on but I think city pork sucks too. Their pulled pork is very reminiscent of my insta pot pulled pork


I think it’s sad that we have so many places that make crap mediocre food that become empires in Baton Rouge

It makes me think it’s time to throw my hat in the ring since y’all just eat that garbage up

I also love the City Pork on Jefferson but don't care for the location on Perkins at Highland. I normally get the grilled veggie sandwich and it's so much better at the Jefferson location.
