Lets do a worse of thread.

Salt lick just outside of Austin. I hear people rave about that place, but I didn’t like it one bit. Meat was dry and the sauce didn’t have much flavor to it. What a disappointment.

Been to a couple of salt licks. Same everytime. Ain't worth a shite.

There was an excellent cafeteria style restaurant in my childhood hometown called Bishop's. When I was a kid, my grandparents would take me there. Luby's was an attempt at nostalgia. Unfortunately, it was just a slap in the face confirming you can never go home again.

Mine too! Went there as a teen. Nebraska, in the 70's.
It closed up a long time ago, before the 80's. Sigh...

Tex-Mex outside of Texas is generally bad, but I have family in Ruidoso NM that absolutely love this Mexican food place there, and we go everytime I visit. I just don't have the heart to tell them that it just flat out sucks.

You sure you went to the right place? That sounds like Bill Miller, not the Salt Lick. I grew up in Driftwood so I know the Salt Lick pretty well.

Maybe the cook knew he was getting fired the next day or something.

Should of at least opened the door & see if it was authentic. I'm sure there's got to be a Mexican or 2 in Scotland. Some of the best Mexican food I've had are in little crappy looking buildings. In Houston I've ate at some sketchy looking taqarias that had some amazing food.

I had some good Mexican in Milwaukee about 25 years ago. Sketchy part of town and we sat in the "overflow" area which appeared to be pallets they'd placed out back, covered by a large tent and they had propane patio heaters. I can only guess the number of code violations for this place but they had good food and strong drinks.

From the outside it looked like every other pub on the street, except with tourist sombreros and serapes tacked to the wall. It wasn't promising.

My mom cooked a pizza on a Weber kettle grill when I was just a little guy. Why she did that, I don't know. And even though she admitted it tasted like burnt dog $hit, she still made us eat it.
Quite possibly the worst meal I've ever had.

We ate, once, at a Mexican restaurant in downtown Milwaukee. Like everything else in Wisconsin, there was little flavor. Even their salsa tasted like old cilantro in water with a lot of heat.

It was salt lick…. Maybe I got them on a bad day? Could be, but I won’t be back. We stopped in from Houston based on what we heard.

That's a pity. I've eaten there quite a few times (though it's been a good decade, so things could have nose-dived with all the expansion and with Mrs Robertson being gone) and never had a bad meal. It was sheer torture driving home from high school past the restaurant and smelling that meat cooking over the open fire.

The best Dickey's was in Big Spring. It was ran by a black dude. He kept a really tight ship. You could taste the love for Q in the food there. He suddenly passed away and that place went to absolute shite. Haven't been back.

As big of a national chain that Dickie's is (over 550 locations)I can't see anything they sell being of anything but a corporate warehouse based thing.

I think I finally crapped the last of that mistake out around 2:18 am.

You don't get 'food' in a cafeteria.

You get 'fuel' there, i.e., bland protein and carbohydrates, but having once been a starving kid, it'll do...

One of my best friends was a manager at Lubys about 20 years ago.
They typically had 4 managers, he was number two, the number one manager made over $200k/yr.

My advice: Don't start.

At my age slim to no chances.
If I have to ask round steam tables it better be a buffet.

I have 2 nominees:

“SONIC” in West Beaumont

”Popeye’s” @ Weslaco

Then there was a little Mexican Cafe in San Diego Texas which literally had pubic hair in the frijoles. . . . . . . . A special category all-time WORST !

Worst educational experience - the University of Texas at Austin. The most expensive piece of paper I've ever bought, and just as useful to my career as a sheet of notebook paper.
