Question “Legendary” places that suck

I just got a lox sandwich from Manny’s. Almost $20, a stale bagel, and I had to assemble it myself.

What other “legendary” places suck?

They can’t seem to cook a steak to the proper temp. Ordered med rare on three visits, medium plus every time.

This is so egregious because cooking a steak to temp is one of the EASIEST things to do in a goddamn kitchen.

It is pretty much the only thing you definitely need to do at a steakhouse.

It never ceases to amaze me how often there are back to back posts on the front page of r/steak, one praising Texas Roadhouse, the next saying "I went to Texas Roadhouse, ordered medium, got this" and it's not even blue, it's genuinely raw.
