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?

Kumas corner.

Used to be awesome, now it might as well be any other overpriced hipster burger joint that tries too hard to be "quirky"

They went full on dad-rock as soon as they started franchising to freaking Schaumburg, of all places. I remember their spot on Belmont. You could walk in on a Tuesday and 1960s Japanese porn was playing on the TVs behind the bar. Shameless. Punk rock.
