Kid Rock's New Restaurant Flooded With Negative Reviews: ‘Trash Food'
Kid Rock's new Nashville restaurant has been flooded with negative reviews following its opening. The musician, whose real name is Bob Ritchie, launched The Detroit Cowboy with restaurateur Joe Vicari on Tuesday after it was soft-launched last month. But the 12000-square-foot steak, seafood and fine dining restaurant has already been swamped by negative reviews online. "The tacos were terrible and smelled weird," one reviewer wrote online. Another said: "Trash food with trash ownership." The restaurant has also received a number of positive five-star reviews. It is possible that the negative comments are coming from critics of President Donald Trump due to Rock's support for him. This is a developing story. More to follow.
