Dining out should be a luxury, but now and then, you come across a restaurant that gives off some pretty serious red flags. Well, Redditor TeachBS asked, "What is something that is an automatic 'I am not eating here, we need to leave ' at a restaurant?" Plus, I've included some responses from members of the BuzzFeed Community about their restaurant deal-breakers . 3.
"An over-abundance of televisions. TVs in sports bars are fine, but if I'm going to a restaurant, I don't want to be surrounded by them." — CarrieFisherStevens 5.
"The smell of a dirty grease trap. After you've worked in a kitchen for a while, you recognize it instantly. It's an awful smell, and if a place isn't getting it regularly serviced, the rest of the operation is probably terrible too.
" — BakedMitten 9. "You see someone who handles the food while wearing gloves, but he uses those gloved hands to handle money, open doors, touch their face, etc..
. Or worse, someone who handles food with bare hands while there are open wounds or bandaids. I've seen it.
Immediate nope for me." — JessCeceSchmidtNick 14. "If you walk in and the floor is sticky, better walk right back out.
" — Morythecat 16. "When the workers look at you like you ruined their good time, and now they gotta actually work." — Human-Bit-1427 19.
"No prices listed on the menu. I saw a food truck like that. I walked away.
Food trucks used to be cheap, and now they are often more expensive than brick and mortar." — DerFuhrersStache 20. "It's mostly empty, but the staff is surprised and confused about your presence.
It's a hint that selling food isn't their main business." — South_Chocolate986 Do you have one to add? What is a red flag that signals a terrible restaurant? Or, on the contrary, what is a green flag that suggests a restaurant might be great? Tell us in the comments or in this anonymous form ..
