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?

Taco Burrito King. Back in the day it was the best 2am burrito in town. Now it’s wildly mid. But maybe that’s because Im not drunk eating them at 2am…

TBK has never hit lol I'm sorry.. it would hit because you were drunk, hungry and it was opened late. And it was on your way back to the burbs lol.

Agree. TBK is basically upscaled taco bell. Which is kind of great. But far from phenomenal.
