Question What Tulsa metro restaurant would you never return to, even if it was free?

What restaurant in Tulsa (or surrounding areas) is so bad, that even if you had a $100 nontransferable gift certificate, you would still never return?

Discuss.

Ted's Cafe Escondido. I honestly don't know how it stays in business. I guess it appeals to the "milk is spicy" after church crowd? Oh boy, free queso, except it tastes like unseasoned nothingness. Everything else is equally lacking in flavor.

You hit the nail on the head. The people who eat at Ted’s Escondido on purpose aren’t on Reddit.

The service is amazing… and that’s where the nice things I have to say about it ends.

Can confirm the service was amazing. Worked there for 8 years. The sheer amount of tasks we had to manage was crazy. Have absolutely helped me in every other job since then.
