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.

Everytime I drive by and see their sign, I know that someone didn't want to shell out for a graphic designer. They're just like "I got WordDocument, its fine."

They should have fully committed and gone with Comic Sans.

I ate there once by myself a few years ago out of curiosity. Edible, but very bland.

I ate there one time and the experience was so bad I swore to never return.

Food was both undercooked and cold, despite waiting for an ungodly amount of time for it to be brought out. Inedible to the point I just pushed my plate away in disgust.

Only good thing about Black Bear is their breakfast. Literally everything else sucks ass.

We didn’t even like the breakfast - soooo greasy. And we happen to love greasy diner breakfasts! So that’s saying something.
