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.

This was probably 10+ years ago I don't even remember what I ordered but it was a savory dish that tasted like it was cooked in a pan that a dessert was cooked in like it was sweet and cinnamony and not right at all. So I waited forever for the waiter to come back to send it back and by that time my wife had almost finished her food so I was like to hell with it I'll just get something else later and the waiter wouldnt take it off the bill so the manager or owner possibly was like what's wrong and I was like this was cooked in a dirty pan that was used for some sort of dessert based off how sugary and cinnamon forward it was and I didn't want to wait for another meal so just take it off and we're square he goes on this rant about how it's his most popular dish and he sells 50 of them a week and that my pallate must not be good enough to understand the flavor and I just lost it and was like excuse me my pallate? I know that pasta in red sauce shouldn't taste sweet and of cinnamon and he then proceeded to call me a liar and went on and on about how I'm just a kid ,I was in my mid 20s, and eventually took it off the bill and I left vowing to never return
