    Product: Ribs

    Updated: March 18, 2024 11:47 PM
    Had pizza there Saturday evening. Everyone in the house had the same things to eat all day, til we got to the pizza around 5:30 pm. I had the garlic butter sauce. It tasted odd. I felt sick within a couple hours. By 11:30 I was vomiting... See More profusely and was experiencing lower GI symptoms (diarrhea). Horrific chills. Was up all night with it. Couldn't hold down water until morning. Today is Monday and my ribs hurt from vomiting so hard. Still felt shakey and sweaty. Tonight I'm pretty ok. But that was the absolute worst food poisoning I've had in years. Never eating Papa Johns again. I should have been warned by the clueless employees who struggled with my husband's coupon and the manager that came out and didn't listen or care. This place is the worst Papa John's I've ever eaten at. I mean, it's consistently wrong but this is the first time it felt like it was trying to kill me. | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting, Chills, Sweating See Less

    Ate the ribs... I thought they smelled very bad. My wife thought it was simply vinegar. During the night I got terrible diarrhea and vomiting, lasting 2 days. No fever. Just bad cramps. | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Vomiting, Fever, Cramps See Less
