Any and all pancake restaurants.
I love the food most of the time, but being there is such an awful experience.
Stained carpet from a syrup spill that's now collected dirt for months.
Sticky menus.
Sticky tables.
I feel sticky just thinking about it.
I get a similar feeling in some old family restaurant style places. The kind that get the seniors bus tours in. The kind that always have liver and onions on the menu and the fish and chip special is world renowned.
There's one in Chippewa, ON that makes amazing pies and you can just walk in and buy a whole pie and take it out.
But we went in and ate dinner once and I was ready to leave before we got to our table.
The food is decent but boring and bland but kinda like Mom used to make type of deal.
I won't go back to eat there. When we want a pie, I make my wife go in and pick it up while I wait in the car.
