Thread: Worst take away in Australia

Best meal i ever had while travelling was at hughendon onmy way to darwin in 1987. can still remember it like it was yesterday. it was a special on at the pub after a local footy game. $6 for a rump steak, cooked to perfection just the way i like them and so big that it hung off both sides of the plate by a good margin. the only place to put the self-serve chips and salad was on top of the 3/4 inch thick steak.

Worst service ive ever had was at Alexandras restaurant in bundy a couple of valentines days ago. the food was brilliant but the service made fawlty towers look good. all around us we saw everymistake you have ever heard of in a restaurant being made. one table of about 20 was a birtthday party and the birthday girl didnt get her meal. a table of4 had their last person given their meal 2 hours after the first person was served, wrong orders were the norm and at least one person had their dinner tipped into their lap. and try to get a drink!!!!! dont even think about it. about 20 couples with reservations were asked to come back in an hour, some of them a couple of times. not a great evening

Theres a roadhouse on Geelong Road on the left on the way to Geelong,

one word describes their food,

FOUL.

Ditto!

Back in my Bikey days I use to go up to a quaint little town called Walget to catch up with a m8 that "didn't want t be found" First stop back in those days was the Pub.

I wondered what the stain marks on the purely concrete floor was and why the chairs were bolted to the floor.............Looked round after downing a quick midi n noticed I was the only white fella in the pub. It was suggested to me to kindly leave the premises.............who was I to argue so off went still thirsty.

Next stop HAmburger of course (I managed to get a carton before splittin from the pub) I ordered me burger n could hear this weird light buzzing sound I wasn't sure what the hell was going on n thought the unnatural act of having only one beer at a pub had traumatised me in some manner leaving me temporarily insane.

Next thing I looked up and a fleet of the biggest greenest ugliest blowflies I had ever seen were lapping up and down a makeshft flyway about a foot below the top of the roof. MMmmmmmmmmmm I thought n happened to look down at a scallop in the bay marie n saw the king of the blowflies crawl out of the batter

................that sinking feeling crept in but starvation brought on a mind game of me telling myself that the heat of the cooking would kill any germs or creepy crawlies that may find its way into my food.

THis is fair dinkum next thing I looked at the chick cooking my burger (Who looked like a Hammer thrower from the olympics) n noticed sweat dripping from her brow onto the hotplate right next to me burger

To my horror she flipped the burger right onto the spot where her sweat was dripping onto the hot plate. For the rest of the wait I decided to close my eyes and think of happier things. I opened them to observe the "HaMMER Thrower" slapping my burger together Bare HAnded. I've never seen beatroot handled quite like that.

I could'nt resist saying something to her she replied thats how we do things up this way. I replied well as long as you haven't just finished skinnin rabbits its ok with me..........All I got was the evilest laugh I have ever heard n she said "Well I ain't been doin things quite that bad..........n winked at me"

Believe it or not................It was the best burger I have ever tasted:eek::eek:

...................I Wonder WHY

Walgett! Every time I went there was for the flood rescues. Last time I went there and gave a life yoke to a local, he tried to give it back - "nah, keep it, at least it will get regular use".

Please, no "local yokel" jokes...

Hey Zed, ya wanna go for a holiday to NZ and try their pies!!!!!

sorry Stirlo you can't use the 'food tastes great' and maccas in the same page or epoch even ........at least at hungry jacks (they also employ young people and the burger actually tastes like meat) you can get a burger with the ingredients you ask for not what maccas deem good for you.......personally I prefer subway

i like subway and maccas, but different ppl like different things so i respect that you dont like it,

anywhere that serves "the finest" cuts of chicken shaved from a spinning stick

lukewarm on the outside, e. Coli on the inside

if not the worst, possibly the biggest gamble

Pete, the only difference between Maccas and Hungries is that Maccas know how to market their product so that every kid bugs the crap out of the parent when they drive past it! "Can we get Maccas for Dinner?"

Sounds like the shearer's cook I met once with one and a half arms, worked out Muttaburra way 500 clicks west of Longreach.

Left arm was amputated at the elbow

Asked him how he got the rissoles to taste so good.

"Easy he said, scrunch up the mince with me left hand."

"Is that it?" I asked

"No, mate" he said " then I whack it under the left arm to get the shape right"
