"I went into The Shrunken Head for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. I discovered the venue after a group of my friends were performing there on a Monday night, raising money for various causes around Columbus.
I sat down at a table to meet a friend of mine I hadn't seen in years. We met and talked for 30 minutes, waiting for someone to bring us menus or greet us. Nothing. I noticed some menu's by the register and took one apprehensively, awkwardly sitting back down at our table in the middle of the restaurant.
Our chairs were wobbly and the table looked like the owner of the place had made it himself, a makeshift combination of two tables. We both looked over the menu and waited another 30 minutes as the server behind the bar just watched us. Eventually, we got the vibe that we should go to the counter and order. We both ordered 12 dollar burgers and went back to our table.
Another 30 minutes passed and our burgers were apparently done. The server motioned to us from the counter that our order was up, we walked to the counter and took our plates from him. He didn't smile or say anything, it was incredibly awkward.
We sat down and burgers tasted pretty decent- they were advertised on the menu as "locally raised meat." They came with some chips. I had eaten half of the burger when I noticed a BLACK HAIR sticking out from the meat of the burger.
My friend also noticed the hair. We walked to the counter, paid for our food, and tipped the server on the way out the door. He didn't say anything, still.
Utterly confused, and perplexed by the cold atmosphere and service I vow to never go back to "The Shrunken Head" again."

"I started losing my appetite thinking of shrunken heads and seeing a guy painted on the wall who is puking neon green puke.
I completely lost my appetite when our breakfast came out super salty with runny sausage gravy and overdone eggs."
