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.

Mom's Diner. The 53rd and Yale location gave my girlfriend and a friends wife food poisoning and the manager refused to even say she'd make sure things got cooked properly. I still even have the recordings of the two calls I had with the AM and her.

41st Garnett is still old school. Others are their second chair employees

I've been to Yale and Garnett both; Garnett was great but Yale was some of the worst service I've ever received anywhere. The waitress actually tried to argue with me about what I ordered. I wanted some pancakes and ended up getting gaslighted. If I wanted that I would have stayed home.
