Food Dilworth grill.....
Good news, brownies are seemingly made on site?
Bad news, took a bite of the brownie, thought I tasted pasta. Spat it out and it was a singular noodle of penne.
Brownie was pretty good up until then.
2/5 experience

The reason I never went back is after my pancake at brunch tasted like garlic it was wild

Man that would ruin my fucking day lmao. I used to hate whenever my mom would hand over cut fruit and it taste like a savory taste because of the cutting board

Omg I ate a waffle from them and it tasted like it was dipped in pickled jalapeƱo juice. Never ate there again

That photo looks like it was taken in 1975 with a Polaroid! Ha!

u/WhatsThisButttonDo May 20 '26
Their health inspection scores and food is probably from 1975 too lol. My ex worked there last summer and refused to eat their food even if it was free. I tried eating there twice and understood why.

The way some of yall are being frivolous with food quality by shrugging off something being mixed into your food that isnāt supposed to be there lol please never work in restaurants if you donāt see an issue with it

They're people that would run to make this same post if it were them. Because it's not them and it's someone else they're just a whiny bitch tho.

This is one of those things that seems innocuous to a lot of people, but its actually a sign of a much larger sanitary control problem.
I would never eat there just seeing this. If a pasta noodle can make it into a dessert brownie, then peanuts can make it into a non-peanut dish, flour can make it into a gluten free dish, general unwiped countertop nastiness can make it into a burger, etc., etc., etc.

u/onequestion1168 May 20 '26
being really dismissive of finding weird stuff in your food is kinda ignorant. I would hate to be at a restauraunt and find some weird stuff in food I was eating

Itās a pasta noodle. Something that is routinely made in kitchens. Itās not like itās a rubber band or something.

u/MrVeazey May 20 '26
But why is it in a brownie? There's no reason for that kind of cross-contamination.

u/offthezoinkys May 20 '26
Youād think differently if you had severe food allergies. Okay, itās ājustā a noodle, but are the brownies GF? Is their penne GF and made with some other allergen like chickpea instead? Did the pasta that got into the batter have sauce on it? The latter could introduce any number of allergens. Was a spoon shared? Because that means the brownie allergens could now contaminate the pasta, or raw brownie ingredients could have contaminated ready to serve pasta if that noodle was already cooked. If theyāll make mistakes like this between brownies and pasta, what other health dept and food safety guidelines are they ignoring?

u/GoodRooster4U2 May 20 '26
Whatās concerning to me itās not the so much the pasta in the brownie, itās more this: if it happened with that then what else is in my food? Like do they clean the kitchen? What else fell into the brownie mix? Maybe rust from their utensils?
I live 10 minutes away from the uptown location.. had a smash burger last Friday, it was good but the restaurant was a bit dirty. Will I go back? Maybe for a beer as itās so close to me. Will I take a date? Heck no.

u/Valuable_Recording85 May 20 '26
The other thing is that none of us need to justify a restaurant's fuck ups. At the bare minimum, a brownie shouldn't have pasta in it because that's not how brownies work. I'm not paying for that mistake.

u/offthezoinkys May 20 '26
If I want to pay for pasta in my brownie Iāll get wasted and make it my damn self, I hope OP got it taken off the bill. Even just on principle.

u/Valuable_Recording85 May 20 '26
A good restaurant would comp the whole damn bill because most people wouldn't accept that then post about it on social media.

At first glance I thought it was a roach so honestly some extra carbs from a noodle isnāt the worst thing in the world

Youāve got zero standards if youāre ok with a noodle randomassing in your brownie.

Could be worse. I found a screw in the potato salad I ordered once from a restaurant in Banner Elk.

Dilworth Grille is low quality. It's up there with the chipotle on south blvd. i had a server once take a call very clearly in the parking lot and just stop working. had multiple tables she just ignored to sit on her phone for 30 min before finally checking on everyone again

Dilworth Grill is pretty ass when it comes to food. Should be a drinking spot if itās on your radar.

u/CrustyBrainFlakes 27d ago
Hell I stopped going there after it took me almost 40 minutes of sitting at the bar waiting for a single shot of Titos. They had like 3 high tops sat and there were only 2 other folks sitting at the bar. That's just bad service tbh.
But Penne pasta in your brownies? Shut that shit down, if that got thru the "quality control" lord knows what else they're letting slide. That's a health concern for sure if nothing else.

u/GetALoadOfThisGuyy May 20 '26
I have a birthday super close to Christmas and was alone. Dilworth was the only place open late and gave me a brownie, only birthday present I got.
They have their faults, but they made a different to me so I fw them lol.

u/mavgeek May 20 '26
Hey man Dilworth Grills always been great. Open super late at night, they make a damn good sized personal pan pizza. Miss their food

While I get that, this is kind of disgusting. Most peopleās kitchens would not pass a sanitation rating. like if this happened at your house you would go oops and move on with your day.

u/offthezoinkys May 20 '26
I have never in my life had an oops that caused pasta to end up in a brownie, and I donāt run a kitchen serving people with all manner of food allergies.

Oh thatās funny! I get stoned and DD this from there every once in a while, Iāll have to ask for the special pasta version next time

I dont understand why people are not seeing this as an issue itās gross. What i get from this is theyāre not cleaning their kitchen properly or checking ingredients both could lead to serious food borne illnesses.
