Five-star hunting is for cowards. Find the worst-reviewed food near you.

The bottom of the barrel

What is this?

A search engine for bad restaurants. Every other food site chases the best; we went the other way.

01

Type a city.

We sweep every rated restaurant in range and rank them from the bottom up: rating, review count, price, and the most damning quote on file.

02

“Reliably awful” is a sort.

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.

03

The jokes are ours. The ratings aren’t.

Every number is Google’s and every quote is a real review with a name on it. 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 is every restaurant a 4.4★ now? We measured 1,850 of them. The inflation files →
