You might go to Yelp to look at others’ opinions on a business you are soon planning to buy from or go to. But have you ever been there to read the unhinged and unintentionally hilarious bad Yelp review? A Yelp review might be a reviewer’s opinion on a business, but it could make your day with their funny and relatable experiences. Here, we will cover some of the most hilarious bad Yelp reviews of bad service and product quality.
Top 10 Bad Yelp Reviews
1: Sorting priorities
This restaurant surely wasn’t expecting a bad review of their washroom toilet seat instead of the food or service. This reviewer is bringing forward a complaint that very little has been heard of. Hats off to this Tetris to complain about things that usually matter in the bigger picture.
2: Pasta with a side of death
This reviewer definitely did not expect to have a brush with the topic of death when grabbing a meal. Unless this restaurant was themed to be satanic, no waiter can justify this kind of behavior. This reviewer can never have some innocent pasta without thinking about death.
3: Legend says they are still waiting…
Patience is a virtue, and it’s definitely one to have after a long day. Christina J couldn’t catch a break when this restaurant kept her waiting for 45 minutes and even more. Let’s hope she did get some food at the end of such a long day.
4: Anything but TheKnot.com
This reviewer probably had to call off their wedding or had some family drama enough to drive them to think of all the things better than this provider. Imagine what must have gone down when they would rather spend winters in Siberia or summers in the life-threatening jungles of Amazon. Yeesh.
5: Food poisoning or not, ICU is the place for this reviewer
Lauren B. must have had an awkward experience when she had to turn up at her workplace as a patient after she had food at this place. Imagine how bad the food must have been when this reviewer had no option but to turn up at the ICU where she herself worked. Poor Lauren!
6: Hotel out of our nightmares
This reviewer seems to have checked into a hotel of nightmares with blood stains and slashes. The details in this review seem to describe a scene out of a horror movie. Worst of all, they don’t offer any refunds for their nightmarish services. Beware of this hotel!
7: Size matters
This reviewer paid $100 to have a wholesome meal, but clearly, it wasn’t enough. After ordering a large, wholesome veal/lamb shank, getting a really small portion of it enough to compare it to a cat shank is surely disappointing to anyone. So, Dear Thomas Keller, I hope you get your food proportions right next time.
8: Never keep any expectations
This reviewer traveled all the way from Brooklyn only to see some quirky penguins being showered on by a faulty sprinkler. Aside from the barely wet penguins, he saw one, probably a fake turtle and no sharks. He knows what a zoo is like; this place is definitely one of the worst.
9: Old is gold
This reviewer ventured into a store from the past, probably from an old fairy tale, with an expired food section and age-old newspapers for its customers. It definitely has a vibe for those looking for a vintage aesthetic while shopping.
10: Careful what you ask for
Two seconds was enough to ruin the customer experience! This staff behavior should not be tolerated. Be careful, girls! This restaurant should also take serious action against the waiter.
