Meridians Eatery - Ventura

I just got a slice of pizza. Burnt but it wasn't bad. Parmesan eggplants are hilarious. They give you one little piece of fry eggplants and bunch of spaghetti. Did you know that the real eggplants parmesan does not have spaghetti?! They are cheap.

Very decent. Pizza and pasta. You can't go wrong there I think

Cute shop, nice employees, they just need to hire a chef or at least a cook. Pizza was super disappointing.

The pizza looked and tasted like it had come from a gas station. It was typically quite thin, but this time the cook prepared it like one of those disappointing pizzas that Target used to sell. This pizza used to be good, but I’m not sure what changed. I've ordered the Yankee pizza countless times over the past twenty years, and this was simply bad. I want a refund!

I have lived in this area for 50 years, and in my 30 years of dining out, I have never encountered worse food. To get straight to the point, I ordered two steak sandwiches with avocado and mushrooms. When I walked in, two young women behind the counter seemed more interested in their meals than in serving customers. A small man with an attitude was also there, though I couldn’t tell if he was the owner, and there was a staff member who struggled with English. At that moment, there was only one other customer dining. When my food arrived, I couldn't believe my eyes—the bread looked as if it had been left in the broiler for 30 minutes and was completely charred. Opening one sandwich revealed a piece of flank steak that was burnt in half, three mushrooms that were overcooked, and an aioli that was so bland that even my three-year-old could do better. The pickle looked half-eaten, and the pepperoncini appeared as if someone had taken a bite out of it. Finally, there were three tiny slices of avocado. I've never returned food before, but this was my first time in 30 years. It felt like a disgrace to the community. I asked for a refund, and the two girls stared at me in disbelief, seemingly unable to comprehend that the food was unacceptable. After 20 minutes, they finally said they didn’t know how to refund my card. Five minutes later, one of them mentioned that my refund had gone through, but when I checked, there was no refund. Now, two days later, I am still without my money. Save yourself the trouble and headache unless you enjoy being served burnt, half-eaten food at a premium price!
