When you don’t have time to cook for yourself, the fastest way to get a meal is ordering the food from stores or restaurants. There are many dishes that look very fancy and attractive on the brochures. But when the real product is brought to your hands, you may find out that it doesn’t appear like the advertising image at all. You order a seafood pizza, but the restaurant sends you a pizza with just some pieces of tomato instead. Or you purchase a steak salad, and the one you get is vegetable only.

You don’t want to eat that cheap-looking dish, but can’t just throw it out. The result is you eat the food in disappointment. Have you ever been in half laughing, half crying situation like that? Here we’ve collected 25 funny pictures of restaurant menu expectation vs reality. Let’s check them out!
