“I got some food from Dairy Queen in 2009 and found partially dried blood sticking the paper to the bottom of the box after I finished eating. I haven’t gone back to one since not even for a Blizzard.” – anonymous

Hang on. Partially dried blood? Someone had an accident in the kitchen it would seem. Also, eww.

“We came through Taco Bell and got some nachos,” Joseph Richardson said. But once Kailynn got to the bottom of her triple-layer entree, she says she found a full-length, acrylic French-tip fingernail buried in with the beans. “It’s gross.”

At least it was hand-made French-style nachos. Those beans were mixed thoroughly too.

“Fried chicken means RAW CHICKEN WITH BREADING. ‘I’m sorry about that’ and returning my money doesn’t cut it. Repulsed.” – Beth C.

Wow someone in that kitchen must have worked in a Japanese resto for years. Or maybe he was having a bad day. Gross.

“Years ago, stopped at a Subway in Beaver Dam, OH. The gentleman making my sandwich sliced his finger pretty good while cutting the finished sandwich, bled all over the counter, and the sandwich proceeded to wrap the cut finger in a paper towel and then wrapped the sandwich and bagged it.” – 327FM

You know in some countries, blood is actually a delicacy… Kidding, not really. He didn’t say if he spoke to the store manager though.

“I am from the north and had never been to Krystal. Heard people say “it’s like White Castle, only worse” and had to check that out. The burger was really gross – and my standards are low. The fries though were surprisingly awesome and the atmosphere was pretty nice, given the location. Worth checking out, if only as a curiosity.” – EatSomeKugel

Well this sounds like the right place for a hangover. Because then that would remove the taste of alcohol and even potentially force it out.

“We were super disappointed in the last pizza we ordered from here as well as the manager’s response (don’t know his name as he refused to give it). Took over 40 minutes to go less than 2 miles AFTER it left the store and looked like this…” – Amy M.

Amy’s pretty nice to still have kept the pizza though. They must have been pretty hungry, but come on, Domino’s!

“Wow, never again! Fried fish is crispy on the outside, wet and mushy on the inside. Gross! And I eat anything that’s edible and I’m not picky with my food at all, but I had to spit it out. Definitely the worst food in my book.” – Rebekkah C.

Well it looks like it’s back to the training center for the kitchen staff. That, or they just have their own way of preparing fish.

“‘I pulled a piece off, then found that and spat the rest out. You don’t expect to have that type of crap in your food when you go to KFC.’ KFC said that it was probably a bit of offal – a lung or kidney – that should have been thrown away. A spokesman said: ‘Most of the time offal is removed in the preparation process, but occasionally it may remain.’ – Richard Hartley-Parkinson

Colonel’s finger lickin’ exotics are now on the menu! Seriously, just a bit of hot sauce and you’re all good.

“Have you ever had a bad experience at Taco Bell? This place will make you forget ALL about that in just one bite. Don’t get me wrong the people were nice and the place was clean as this location just opened recently but the food reminded me of taco day in elementary school. The meat was dry and tasted burnt but was still cold…” – Dave S.

Oh so that would be like hospital or elementary school food then. No big deal, just swap with the stranger sitting next to you.

“We walk in order our food and are having a great time being reunited after not being together for 6 weeks. I take a bite of the onion rings we are sharing and when I look down, there is a deep-fried bandaid sticking out of the onion ring. My parents remained very calm and very collected while explaining the fiasco to the manager but he refused to do anything about our meal. So we left and my parents turned their backs on their love for grade D meat sliders and none of us have ever gone back to one.” – Rythmi

So now anyone who walks in to any branch should really lower their expectations. Like really low.

“A bug in my chow mein. It’s not even a tiny fruit fly or something, it’s a black shelled bug in my chow mein. I know for a fact that this bug was in the chow mein when I bought it because it is dead and cooked. SO GROSS!!!!!!” – Jasmine Q.

A well cooked bug is better than a live bug if you think about it. Plus it adds to the protein count.

“I went back and asked about it and they were all really surprised and grossed out and they had the GM call me and he said “I can either refund your meal entirely or give you a new sandwich cooked the right way”. There was no way in hell I was ever eating there again so I definitely took the refund.” – shannoscope

Wow it’s really pink. They actually do use fresh ingredients, that’s a relief. Now about that stove…

“Couldn’t have been worse. Waited 40 minutes for disgusting, burnt pizza that they didn’t even tell us was burnt! We didn’t realize until we got home, tried to eat it but after 2 slices I was almost ready to puke. Threw 12 out of 16 slices (2 pizzas) in the trash. Should have thrown it all out. Don’t even think of going here.” – Luke K.

So yes, they do tie up the box to “keep it fresh” but the thing about ordering food to go is that you really should check the quality before leaving. Also, bummer.

“Dirty! We went to get some food around 230 am on a Saturday. When we pulled up the cook was ousted with a van of his friends and ran inside when he had seen us pull up. Once we ordered we waited to pay for 2 minutes while the two guys stood there talking to each other. One of the men ( the one just smoked a cigarette) was touching the food without gloves on and the other one had his back to us stuffing his hands in his pants to rearrange his underwear. Needless to say, we pulled off.” – Ashlee B.

2:30 am on a Saturday. Everyone is tired, hungover, or mad at the world. Not a good time to go look for food.

“I found a cockroach in a Sonic burger. Well, half a cockroach. When I went inside and found the manager and showed him the chewed up pile of burgers in the parking lot — with the half roach — he told me I put it there.” – shanlav

Yeah there are managers who do that. Did he chew up and swallow the other half of the roach?

“What a horrible mistake. I haven’t been able to sleep all night. I feel like I’m going to die. No one will come within 12 feet of me. The garlic pretzel from Auntie Anne’s was so delicious at the moment but within 5 minutes the crowd cleared from City Center and I was the only one left standing. Something went terribly wrong.” – Kimberlyn U.

Oh dear. Looks like the garlic purged her insides of all evil and allowed the leftovers to escape in the air around her. Vampires be warned.

“I have heard Quiznos kitten commercial many times. The cat’s voices in the commercials are so annoying. It’s the worst commercial I’ve ever heard. I just want to throw the remote through the TV every time I hear it. Whenever it’s on I mute the TV and leave the room because it’s so annoying. I wish I could go to the Quiznos headquarters and punch whoever the guy is that decided to come up with this commercial. It’s so ** annoying. Then Quiznos decides to come out with another commercial with the cats with their dollar menu which is just as annoying as the first one. Again I mute the TV and leave. I can’t stand it.” – Alex333

Just wait until you try the food. He may end up throwing the remote at the headquarters instead.

“Mmmmhhhh no first time there and I was not happy, got the burrito and I was disappointed, the smell Alone was unappealing. Not only this but the entire place was so sticky and gross. Stinky play area stinky chairs and tables. I mean come on wipe that XXXX. Nope first and last time going there” – Justyna s.

Oh boy, she has a point. Sanitation is a huge factor when going to any public place. Especially food establishments.

“I found a huge bug in my sandwich, I didn’t know and I ate part of it and I threw up. So thank you. I’m never eating there again.” – Ashland Kate

That will really bug anyone. It never says bugs in the menu anyway so why are they included?

Panera Bread seems to be a staple for college sorority girls everywhere, but apparently, it’s gross and lacking in proper sanitation. According to an ex-employee, all of the soups are shipped frozen in bags and are then thawed using a “sink full of heating elements that boiled water,” that isn’t really cleaned very often.

And when there’s a dinner rush, cleanliness is thrown even further out the window.

The pizza at Pizza Hut isn’t that bad for fast food, but just stay away from the salads, as the lettuce often sits out for too long. It goes bad quickly, says one ex-employee. “Also the traditional wings because they almost always ended up raw unless we double-fried them for like 20 minutes.”

You heard it from someone who knows. Stick to the pizza.

“The last time I was at Sbarro in the food court of Superstition Springs Mall, I was really disappointed. As usual, I ordered a piece of pizza. It was very dry and the crust was so thin, dry, and hard I could barely even cut it with a knife. It was like cardboard. This was not like the Sbarro I used to eat at. It seems their quality has dropped. In all fairness, I have not tried their other dishes and they might be very tasty.” – Linda2181

It could have been a one time thing. But no one wants to spend money for food that doesn’t satisfy. Step up, Sbarro.

You know it’s bad when even the employees at Jersey Mike’s Subs won’t eat what’s on the menu, including the chicken parmesan or the meatball sub.

So they’re literally there because they have bills to pay and mouths to feed.

The “food” at this Canadian staple is, apparently, unappetizing as one employee shared that the soups come into the store frozen and occasionally have maggots in them. And “the sandwiches are alright but it’s iffy most of the time.”

Go with a bagel and butter or cream cheese to play it safe and avoid rushing to the bathroom.

“Worked late one night so I decided to pick up dinner on the way home. I was starving so as I drove off with the food I reached in the bag, grabbed some fries, and shoved them in my mouth. Immediately I felt a sharp pain move around my mouth so bad I started gagging and had to pull over alongside the road. Tried to vomit but couldn’t. Spit out some blood and what looked like twigs. Looked at one closely and realized it was a roach leg.” – charliehustles

Woah okay so that meant that it was alive… Yeah that’s pretty disgusting. Twigs. Good one.

“Horrible burgers were nasty, workers were unprofessional, not clean this place needs to be shut down!!!!! First, it took 30 minutes to get 2 burgers once we got them we tried to eat them sauce was all over the place tomatoes were rotten on burgers, bread was falling apart, ugh they really need to be closed down.” – roperwoman12w

It has to be just this branch. At least let’s hope so, because they can’t all be that bad. Right?

7-Eleven offers both fast food and convenience-store amenities, but it could be one of the grossest places you could purchase food. For starters, the nachos machine isn’t always cleaned properly, so mold builds up inside of it.

“Oscars Sunday I was really craving some JintheB tacos; I ate 4, and they tasted fine to me. Woke up a few hours later with food poisoning. I warned my friends on Facebook to steer clear of this location for good – only for everyone to inform me that the location was boarded up. That damn location closed the very next morning, and it went out of my life with a bang.”

They had to leave with a parting gift. In the form of a very painful memory.

“I never liked McDonald’s since they have gross tasting foods filled with grease and their chicken nuggets are made with this pink slime which is absolutely disgusting” – Slooshy W.

Well not everyone shares the sentiment but yes, the food can be questionable. And really good when the mood is right.

“After an acceptable amount of time, I got my burger. I sat down to enjoy my burger. I was floored. The bun looked like it was stepped on. The cheese looked like it was scraped off, put back on, and scrapped off again. The actual burger was in 3 pieces. How could anyone in serve this to a customer? I worked in the food service industry for 6 years. Not sure if this is a management problem or just an employee having a bad day. I have to think both.”

So giving feedback to customer service is a thing, right? Let’s hope customers make good use of those channels too.
