“The last three times we’ve eaten there I’ve had horrible stomach cramps, diarrhea, and nausea with no vomiting.  I’ve been perfectly healthy walking in the restaurant, but depending on how long we take to eat our food the upset stomach will begin before we leave. I’m not sure if it’s... See More mild food poisoning or if it’s a reaction to maybe some kind of oil or butter or maybe even salad dressing? I won’t be going back, three times is enough for me to know it’s something they’re using or a refrigeration issue, and I’m done.  My husband and I got the filet and the ribeye and we both had upset stomachs and I started  cramping bad enough to cause  nausea without vomiting before we even got home.  ”

“Tyson's Anytizer bbq chicken chips I ate the chicken chips before bed, around 10pm. Woke up around 1am with relentless diarrhea, then developed cold chills, headache, pain all over my body, fever, and vomiting, over the last 34 hours. ”

“I ordered a large original crust pizza half pepperoni and half sausage. When I got home and ate a few slices I started feeling nauseous so I laid down. Not even 3 mins. After I laid down I got up and ran to the bathroom. I started having watery and... See More runny bowel movements. I had diarrhea for about 10 mins. Straight. As I stood up after I wiped myself I got dizzy and vomited. After I vomited I was too weak to get up but felt my stomach hurting so I wiped the seat as much as possible before I quickly sat back down to pass diarrhea again. I was feeling bad for about 20 more mins. As I could not get up. I was weak and felt drained. When I was finally able to get up and get to my phone I called up to them and asked to speak to a manager and was told to call back another time because they were busy. I politely said OK in a weak voice.. The man on the phone didn't ask if he could help me with something or if something was wrong he just got off of the phone. After that I called the ER. I honestly do not think they were busy because I left there not too long go, the background was not loud nor sounded busy, he spoke in a low tone as if he was whispering and he answered the phone quickly when I called. I do believe he had an idea of what I was calling about. I will call back up there and I will go to the hospital tomorrow morning if I am not feeling better. I know it was the pizza because I slept in late. When I got up around noon I ate a small bag of pretzels, and a grapefruit cup. I was fine for hours then I order this pizza and it destroyed my digestive system. On top of that I do not appreciate how unconcerned the employee that worked there was while talking on the phone with me even though he could hear how bad I sounded on the phone. I will not be back. ”
