I try many restaurants in Metro Phoenix always hoping to find something special. Sometimes I do find the delicious…….but sometimes I don’t. You know how it goes…..There’s no Ying without a Yang. There’s no Good without Evil. You can’t know Great Food without tasting the Mediocre. Its not in my interest to put a bad word out about these restaurants so I won’t mention the name of the establishments.

Up above is the BEST of the Worst Foods of the year. I have to admit the Chicken Steak Filling is delicious, tasty and overly abundant. But that roll is the worst roll I ever had in my life. It’s soggy and deteriorating. It looks like they dropped in sink of water.

These vegetables were cold and RAW….Blech! They didn’t even bother to cook them for me.

This pizza was disappointing too from the same place as the raw vegetables.

These Cheesy Grits are watery and not cooked. What kind of person serves this?….I can’t believe this restaurant….served me this. When we told someone about the grits they just walked away. There was no I’ll tell the chef or I will get you another one. No I’ll take it off the bill…..The person just walked away. 

The Brisket might have been good if it was cooked more but was chewy with hard fat because it wasn’t done yet.

We went to a fish fry restaurant that possibly had equipment malfunctions and the owner had poor cooking skills. We both had fish that seemed freezer burnt and all the sides seemed spoiled or tasted inedible.

The Macaroni and Cheese was gooey with a bad taste. The tarter sauce was very watery. Sweet potatoes seemed old. I tried to eat a hush puppy and spit it out. After one taste of every thing we threw the food out and ate someplace else.

Chips and salsas should be avoided. …….. Steak Tacos taste like soy sauce. Mashed Potato taco is bland and flat.

This cornbread was too dry.

My smoked Trout Salad lacked Trout.

Very heavy and dense bread pudding…..didn’t taste good either.

These meatballs and the sauce was awful. Meatballs were mushy with hard uncooked carrot chunks and the sauce was bitter, acidic also with hard uncooked carrots…….. BLECH!

Someone served me a geriatric pickle with it’s own Sr Citizen Card but the rice and tomato were good. 

These falafels contained hard chick peas that never got soft. (I think they didn’t soak the chic peas but I don’t know…maybe they used pebbles from the parking lot) These falafels were like mortar and rocks in the mouth. I couldn’t eat them. Really most of the food sucked from here. Beef Shawarma was so dry it was like trying to chew a pony tail. Eggplant dip tasted like an ashtray. The Chicken Shawarma wasn’t but tasted like grilled chicken baloney. Only the rice, tomato and onion was good…..

We got this Fried Chicken Plate somewhere. Chicken on the left is fresh hot and juicy……But it was in a weird sweet sauce that tasted just like fruity duck sauce.  Chicken on the right is almost cold and very dried. The chicken was so stringy  you could use it for dental floss.

I heard that this particular ok but not great restaurant had a new menu so I thought the food would be better…My heart sort of sank when I saw the menu…..but we ordered anyway. I got a plate of greens that was topped with cheap shredded cheese, bottled  roasted red peppers,  and really weird pre-cooked COLD chicken that’s salty and taste like processed. The chicken is also crunchy in a very strange way…….like maybe it was microwaved too long and got crunchy.

Take a closer look. See the hallow piece. It’s like manufactured chicken that got blown up in the microwave and then gets kept cold in the refrigerator for victims ….I mean customers.

My husband was also disappointed with his sandwich but said his chicken was a little better.

His chicken sandwich contained two chicken fingers that seemed like processed from frozen on a low quality bun and was topped with low quality cheese that was hard and melted at the same time. On the bright side the onion rings were fresh made and good.

These were the worst foods served to me in Metro Phoenix in 2018.

The FORKING TRUTH is that every thing is subject to change and your experience may or may not differ.
