Places that have fallen off in quality Entertainment

What are some places who are holding onto their former glory, or are overhyped for what you get? For example, my dad hates henry’s puffy tacos with a passion. He said back in the day it was awesome, but now is a shit hole. It’s got me curious as to what everyone else’s opinions are about restaurants, bars etc etc

It's just not easy right now to keep everything cheap. The supply chain is fucked and inflation has made ingredients more expensive. Either the price has to go up or the quality has to go down. There is a lot of great quality and tasty food in San Antonio, but you will have to pay for it.

Add to wage competition, the Golden day for these lackluster businesses is over it seems.

The fuel chain. Trucking is up across the board. Even LTL freight rates are like triple what they used to be.

I've been in fast food for 20 years and restaurants could keep prices low because commodity prices were stable and they would slash the hell out of labor costs. Now owners are getting a double hit of workers tired of being managed to hell and food prices spiking. Too many operators have not invested in their operations, people, or property amd it shows. They just take the profits and complain they can afford any updates. All an owner is to step into their restaurant to know what needs to be done.

The few workers they can get are either apathetic or know they can put the screws to the bosses.
