My personal favourite was a banquet order for a Caesar’s salad (for a party of about 100 people) that, 20 minutes before plating, was updated saying that the Caesar dressing couldn’t have anchovies, garlic, or egg. What do you even say to that?
Just Jim
“I’m very allergic to garlic, is there any in the special?” “Yes, there is a little” “Well, as long as I can’t see it I’ll be okay. I’ll have the special.”
Shi Chang Chu
I want the stuffed salmon. I don’t like the taste of salmon though, so don’t make it taste like salmon.
RAS1187
Order for well done burger. Not unusual, but the guest told the server, “My doctor told me I can’t have any red meat” and was dead serious.

Today’s special was sirloin a la plancha and a customer asked my wife if we could make it vegetarian…

Customer complains after eating her omelette that the menu didn’t explicitly state that it contained “so much egg…”

We had a guest claim that they were allergic to all fish then order a Caesar salad, when I said that the dressing contained anchovies they got annoyed and said “I eat it all the time, it’s fine!”

On a flight from NYC to Madrid, some woman ordered diet water…
Mazardhe
Lady asks to see me during brunch. She tells me she wants a low-fat eggs Benedict. She wants no yolks. At all. I try to explain that yolks are a key ingredient [in] the sauce. She tells me that a good chef should be able to make it happen. She got meringue-covered egg whites.
Ramiro Exposito Gaspe
Paella without rice please.

Order for burger with cheese on the side… melted. “So you want me to melt the cheese on a plate?” “Yes.”
RedBeerd Cantu
Just the other day, we got an order for our shrimp entree, hold the Manchego, “because I’m vegetarian, but please leave the chorizo on.”
Berndy
I’ll have the French trimmed rack of lamb, but not from France. I don’t like my food to come from so far away.

Shrimp cocktail sent back. The complaint, “It’s cold.”
PaigeCake
I had a woman nearly brought to tears and anxiety-ridden after she viewed the pasta special dish (that SHE ordered) when brought to her table. She placed her head in her hands and kept repeating “Oh no … I can’t eat that … I won’t eat that … Oh no … I can’t…” The husband finally looks at me: “She won’t eat that,” I ask: “Ummmmm WHY?” The husband replies; “It has lines on it.” (She had ordered a rigatoni special). YOU try bringing that back into the kitchen with that excuse, and expect a chef to cook something else.

I work in a hotel as a receptionist and one time guest came to me and asked me “when do they turn on the northern lights.” I told them that they can’t be turned on, but they are very shy sometimes.
