Restaurant Stakeout

Restaurant Stakeout is so bad with the blustery restaurant mafia type dude and the subpar acting! The "bad" waiters seem like actors from community theater. I watched for 5 minutes and I was convinced that the waiter's lines were all scripted. In addition, it was so formulaic and predictable in every aspect of the show. I had hoped that after the first or second episodes that the show would find its way, however, I was sorely mistaken. This show was cast with tacky and predictable over actors. It was painful to watch as it was so scripted and the acting was subpar. I will grab a book to read before I ever watch this garbage again. Waste of time.

The show has potential to be good, but it falls flat for pretending to be something it's not. If it was a genuine show about restaurants' customers and staff then it would be worth watching for a glimpse "behind the scenes," but the producers obviously felt that would be too boring for the average viewer and have taken it upon themselves to stage most (if not all) of the drama. After watching the "When the Cat's Away" episode I thought something seemed off, and a quick Google search confirmed my suspicions that it's just staged. Needless to say I won't be watching again, and won't be recommending it to any of my friends.

This silly excuse for a reality show essentially hires actors to pose as busboys, managers, chefs and waiters and tells them to screw up as much as humanly possible.which they then do.This occurs as Willy Degal, owner of Uncle jacks steakhouse( which based on the very average yelp reviews rating, the only one who thinks his restaurants are great is him)observes and basically tells the restaurant owner that people that drop dead from food poisoning are usually very bad tippers, and that he needs to get his act together by trying to hire waiters that don't throw the food, and telling chefs that serving peanuts to people with a life threatening peanut allergy is bad for business, but fear not. At the end of the show Willie tells them they need to improve then shows up 6 weeks later unannounced( except for the 8 cameras to cover every angle) in shorts basically looking like "An army mule with bosoms" and saves the day. It seems his 3 minute pep talk was enough to put there work ethics into overdrive and now there totally different employees. Oh if only life were that easy. Anyway, its a badly staged fake show that gave up with even trying to look real last season.and remember folks, as Willie says at least 123 times every episode" The customer is king"

This guy is awful, keeps repeating the same stuff over and over and over and over and over and over. after the first few minutes you have seen all the camera shots and know exactly what he thinks.

Willie can't even act at all Not photogenic and definitely not for on air film.

The show we thought would be great but it is so horrible can't stand to watch it. If the repeat isn't enough the horrible people that are caught on film NEVER GET FIRED OR EVEN punished in any way.

This Show is totally ridiculous, who ever casted this show should be castrated for putting in Willie !

MORE Restaurant Impossible!!!!

Get rid of this Awful show!!!

This show just irritates the F out of me. Among many things the most is that not once has anybody been fired from their position. I saw things that, even if faked for the show, they should of at least fake fired them.Restaurant Impossible is a great show. Robert knows what he's doing. Hotel Hell, and Kitchen Nightmares both great shows. Regardless of anything it all comes down to the "host." And Willie is just annoying. I'm also a little sick of so many shows and/or restaurants being based in New Jersey or back east. Not all but too many. I'm tired of these Jersey Shore(Hate JS) wannabees with crappy attitudes. New Jersey is over. Sopranos and Springsteen..that's it!
