Most of the world has been on quarantine and staying at home for a quarter of a year has definitely made a lot of people miss going out and dining at restaurants with family and friends. It is always fun to enjoy good food while catching up with each other’s lives, releasing some stress, and just plain relaxing with the people you love to be with. Actually, staying at home is not bad as well, if you have really great food to eat with everyone in the house.
However, there are moments wherein the food served, whether on restaurants or via delivery, fail in such an epic level that you loose the mood to pig out altogether. We’re talking about these cringe-worthy food order fiascos that will surely get you to facepalm yourself in no time. They are absolutely disasters!
1. Cheesy onion rings
Who doesn’t want onion rings? They are delicious especially when filled with cheese! It’s just too bad this Nairobi restaurant did not know that they had to cook the onion and cheese to make the dish their customers were looking for.
Uhm, aren’t burgers supposed to have patties and the rest of the fillings in them? These buns were served with only ketchup in between and we’re wondering if the customer received a discount for this order.
Someone ordered cheese sticks to come with their pizza, and yet the restaurant ended up delivering cheese cakes instead. Where did they even get that many cheese cakes?
Some people love to have extra pickles in their sandwich and that’s fine, they can just ask the server and they will be more than glad to give them what they want. However, this sandwich right here has way beyond just an “extra” serving of pickles.
Are we seeing a new addition to McDonald’s menu? As far as we know, there are no ice cream sandwiches in their list of food offered, but then again this unusual burger makes us want to think something new is about to come…or not?
Taco Bell has their own recipe but of course, that’s their secret. And a slab of carton is not supposed to be a part of that secret recipe, right? But here we are, looking at something we thought is not possible.
Someone ordered an affogato, which is basically ice cream with espresso. What was served technically had that, but we can’t help but think that they might have heard the order wrongly or they simply wanted to add an avocado because it rhymes?
Of course, you can request for extra bacon in your food. And if you are nice enough, they will give you more and not some “barely there” bacon such as what this person received.
This person ordered scrambled egg and wanted some cheese added. What he actually meant was to mix the cheese in the egg, but this is what he got instead. The order is technically correct, but who eats their eggs and cheese this way, right?
Imagine being a meat-lover and excitedly waiting for your pepperoni pizza to arrive just to be greeted by this lonesome pepperoni on top of the dough. What a heartbreaking moment that would be.
The last time I remember, salt and pepper shakers are supposed to contain the actual condiments, not packets of them. Well, at least they are neatly placed on top of the tables right?
In Marrakesh, someone’s friend ordered a fruit salad. You can never go wrong with a fruit salad, right? It’s just a bunch of fresh fruits tossed together. Sadly, the restaurant they went to did not know that fruits should be peeled and cut first before serving them as a salad.
A guy went to Germany and ordered coffee with whipped cream. He did get what he wanted, but they were separately served instead of together in a cup with the cream on top. That’s a lot of cream though, so I guess he can’t get mad with the server after all.
A mom ordered a coke and asked an extra cup for her kids. All’s good, until she saw that the extra cup was inside the bigger cup of coke. Well, at least the extra cup is kiddie-sized.
This lady was glad to find a vegan-friendly restaurant and instantly ordered something off the menu for her sister. This is her supposedly amazing meal and we can’t help but cry our eyes out while laughing!
Someone ordered frites with an anchovy dressing. After a few minutes, this is what they got. I can’t help but think that the server might have needed more explanation and maybe some description, too.
I bet her mom’s boyfriend wanted to go the extra mile for his love. Therefore, instead of just grabbing a few peaches, he decided “Why not take the whole tree instead?”
A pizza burger would be very nice. It’s something unusual and yet, looks totally sumptuous. But then again, people should learn by now that advertisements aren’t always what’s in reality and one great example is this disappointing burger.
It would have been a fun concept if the actual ice cream inside really resembled Sponge Bob. But of course it didn’t and instead of making me smile, this frozen delight even made me sad.
Picture cakes are much more simpler because the image they’ll see in the cake can be printed in edible paper. The hard part is when the person doing the printing did not really understand what you wanted them to print out. Just like this unlucky Redditor who now have to celebrate her thumb drive instead of the real reason she’s requested the cake for.
Who would not be enticed with this kind of food packaging, right? Huge pepperoni and a cheesy dough equals perfect combination! Apparently, the three huge pepperoni shown in the packaging are the only pepperoni on the pizza and now, what used to be impressive has turned out to be annoying.
Chef Gordon Ramsay would be appalled if he ever sees this huge raw chicken inside this sandwich from hell. Did they really think people won’t notice? Sadly, someone took a bite already and we sure hope he did not get salmonella from that unfortunate bite.
Some servers are taking instructions quite literally andin order to avoid misunderstandings, it’s always better to explain further. But, guacamole on top of ice in a glass? That’s awfully weird and absolutely unexpected!
If you’re not trusting cheese sandwich anymore because of what was shown in the previous slides, you might want to try getting yourself an egg sandwich. Just make sure it’s not the kind of egg sandwich such as this one.
Breakfast the American way always involves pancakes, and one of the most popular variation of this famous food is by adding bananas and chocolate chips on it. However, there’s one restaurant who serves banana chocolate chip pancakes this way. I’m not sure what’s inspired this aesthetic but I initially thought I was looking at a huge caterpillar and its poop on top of that mushroom looking pancake.
It’s always exciting to bite onto a mozarella stick because of their stickiness and unique flavor. So, can you imagine the disappointment this guy must have felt after biting on this empty stick? What a heartbreak!
Clearly, a mushroom pizza must have mushrooms as toppings. Or maybe they should have emphasized the plural form of the word and instead of saying mushroom pizza, they could have said “mushrooms” pizza? In any case, mushroom is mushroom and it’s simply mind-boggling how some people can miss these kinds of instructions.
Ceasar salad is a typical salad with shredded greens and a beautiful mix of dressing and croutons. This restaurant, however, believes that the greens should not be shredded. And now, their customers need to eat their salads by hand instead of a fork.
Have you ever tried chicken tacos? Well, you probably tried the version with shredded meat in them, so let me rephrase my question. What I meant was, have you ever tried drumsticks pretending to be chicken tacos ever?
44. What trick are they trying to pull with this one?
This is the kind of salad that looks odd and will make you want to think how in the world you’re going to eat them. I mean, who puts salad in a glass? Some restaurants are just overkill that their ideas end up looking very, very weird!
Here’s a Boston Kreme donut and it looks like the baker almost forgot to add their signature filling! That would be really sad if they did leave the entire donut with no filling at all.
Sandwiches are made of fillings too, not just bread. It’s important to get the ratio right to give it the perfect taste. This one sandwich has more bread than meat and it’s absolutely disappointing to look at.
Here’s another donut and its loss of glaze and frosting just makes me want to shed a tear. How can even do this to students who are trying to get by at school? Now, they even have to worry about their frosting-less donut, too?
Being extra with the food being served to customers is not a bad thing. But, if they ordered a burrito and you added another layer of tortilla with lesser filling, then that would be a bad thing.
Did you find yourself getting annoyed after seeing all those photos? Not getting what you paid for really sucks but sometimes, life throws these kinds of things to remind us that nothing is really perfect in this world. So the next time you order online for your food, better make sure to explain what you really mean or else you’ll end up facepalming yourself, too.
