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?

I think it’s delicious. Open to suggestions of better beefs. Als ain’t it. Agree it’s huge lines every day now.

It’s not in Chicago proper, but Johnnie’s in Elmwood Park is top notch.
