From a local diner, legitimately some of the worst-looking food I’ve ever seen
I mean I guess I respect their commitment to authenticity by using real photos

it’s bad when even the photos look subpar. are they just more honest than most places or will the food you get still come out worse.

Who the hell said throwing raw mushrooms on a plate would make it more visually appealing?
Because that person is a damn liar that no one should ever listen to.

Chunks of raw mushroom and cold cheese on a burger.
Zombie-white grits.
Burnt hash.
Yep, I think we got it, guys! Let me know when the prints are ready!

The burger with raw button mushrooms is… confusing to say the least.

I’d rather see the real pictures than AI slop menu.

That’s not even a patty melt. The cheese must be melted on the burger
SousVideDiaper
The raw mushrooms are pissing me off. Just… what the fuck?

If they just put the stuff on the sandwich and actually made a patty melt with it Id tear that up

The last three pics look alright to me, everything else doesn’t look too good

Photoshopped food? bad
AI food? bad
Regular photos of food? bad
No photos at all? bad

As someone who fucking LOVES little diners, these are upsetting. Pic #7 is MAYBE passable, but the rest have ruined my day.

Something quaintly charming about the hashwhites

Is it an actual diner or a ghost kitchen? The existence of ghost kitchens weirds me out

If patty melt, why no melt

RAW mushrooms?!?!

They are showing the ingredients in these photos, unmade completely so people know what’s in them from a visual standpoint.
The idea is to display the ingredients better so people know what’s in it and don’t have to ask, or know what to ask off. It is less appealing, but it’s a tactic.

All this food looks room temperature

It’s like the uncanny valley of diner foods.

I genuinely really appreciate that they’re not using AI and deceiving their customers, but these pictures are horrid.
creepy-linguini
Looks awful but I appreciate the honesty and lack of AI photos that DoorDash is now inundated with.

Floppy fries, whole onions and raw mushys? Sign me the fuck up.
spooky-ufo

edit: oh my god i scrolled more and those hashbrowns are such an atrocity. i thought they were scrambled eggs

Absolutely not a lick of seasoning or flavor in sight. 😅

“Hi can I get the Room Temp style Burger. Oh absolutely make it sweaty, i want the bun to stick to the plate. Thank you. OH right! Can I also get a double side of unwashed, raw mushrooms?? Oh good and yes I want those a room temp as well so I can huff the stink”

And this is why you do not hire your 4yo nephew as a food photographer.

Now what if what you order ends up looking better than these photos? Like those grits are sus! Like you have to work hard to fuck up some grits, cmon now… But what if they’re workin in reverse for quality? I thought of doing something like that.

Look at the toast in both pics is this terrible photoshop?

Those hashbrowns look like chopped up bits of the foam stuffing in a pair of slippers
blurhill
I would eat the grits tbh 😭

The only thing that looks halfway decent is the grits.

TheDeridor
They can’t even melt the cheese on a patty melt???
Jeramy_Jones
They’re being pretty conservative with that powdered sugar eh? Must be on war rations.

I’m getting parched just looking at these pictures, why does everything look so *dry*?
Smooth_Confusion
They couldn’t even be bothered to melt the fucking cheese!!
Wasparado
Oh, these are the pics they CHOSE to use to promote their food. Interesting choice
candysticker
Why does everything look dehydrated

I’d lose my mind if I ordered a burger and raw mushrooms were sprinkled all over it
HoundTakesABitch
I’m all for uncooked mushrooms and onions, but don’t call them grilled and sautéed if they ain’t lmao.
littlenoodledragon
The food I make at home for my children looks better than this
Shoddy_Nectarine_441
How do the tomatoes on the burger look dry??! Damn this must be a front lmao
Tri4ceunited
Dog it’s a Patty _Melt_ and you’ve got cold, unmelted cheese. And raw onions.
Hot_Gur5980
Did they get the “hash browns” out of the trash?
grugrats
I too make hash browns by exploding a frozen potato with dynamite

The grits scare me the most. Are they supposed to be paper white?
Revenga8
So at what point do they actually “melt” that patty melt because that photo just looks like patty
