Five-star hunting is for cowards. Find the worst-reviewed food near you.
Tip: “Reliably awful” trusts a 1.9★ with 500 reviews over a 1.0★ with three.
A search engine for bad restaurants. Every other food site chases the best; we went the other way.
We search Google Places in your area and rank the places it returns from the bottom up. Results are a sample, not every restaurant in range.
A drive-by 1★ from one furious uncle is noise. A 1.9★ across 500 reviews is a paper trail. We weight the rating by how many people signed it.
Google’s stars stay visible beside Street value, our own score. Review quotes keep their author and source. We don’t write reviews, plant them, or pay for them. We just read the bottom of the pile aloud.
Some people read the list as a warning. Some read it as an itinerary. We don’t ask.
Why do so many ratings cluster near 4.4★? Our June 2026 sample covered 1,850 places. The inflation files →
