Just look at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reviewermag.com\/food\/diarrhea.chicken.jpg\"\/>this shit<\/a>.  I think they had it listed on the menu as &#8220;Lemon Grilled Chicken&#8221; or some sort of lemony chicken dish. I wish they would have warned me that it would have been covered  with this crappy bar-b-que sauce or whatever it is. I would have stuck with ordering just the underdone garlic bread sticks. You can click the BlackBerry pic below for the larger shot. The glass is hot tea I ordered (listed as ice tea on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reviewermag.com\/food\/brick.alley.receipt.jpg\"\/>receipt<\/a>) because I didn&#8217;t want to have a beer and didn&#8217;t feel like coffee  with dinner. It just looks like a beer because I guess they didn&#8217;t have any coffee or teacups&#8230; The chicken I should have avoided is barely recognizable under the goo at left. On the right in a small salad dish is some tomatoey pasta sauce with underdone &#8220;garlic&#8221; bread sticks behind it. I&#8217;m adding quotation marks because that&#8217;s what my server said they were. I ate those first because I was pretty hungry, and at least they were warm, I can  give &#8217;em that, but there was little garlic on these warmed up rolls of dough. To their credit they didn&#8217;t screw up the salad. Bravo on that.<\/p>\n<p>I think the dudes at the joint knew there was something wrong with the food because I saw the Mexican kid cooking in the kitchen smirk through the service window at my server, who then quipped to me, &#8220;So how&#8217;s the chicken?&#8221; after I&#8217;d taken a couple of bites. Of course he didn&#8217;t ask me that AFTER the meal when I excused myself and asked him where the men&#8217;s room was.<\/p>\n<p>Scratch another shitty food joint off my list.<\/p>\n<p>~RR<center><br \/>\n<i>Enjoy your trip to the Brick Alley restroom, Reviewer Rob. \ud83d\ude42<\/i><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.reviewermag.com\/food\/diarrhea.chicken.jpg\"\/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.reviewermag.com\/food\/diarrhea.chicken.sm.jpg?w=900\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.reviewermag.com\/food\/brick.alley.receipt.jpg?w=900\"\/><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Would you like a side order ofHershey Squirts with that awful chicken?&#8221; Brick Alley 3577 Midway Drive Reviewer&#8217;s Tweets * Bad food alert!
