A woman was disgusted after she found a dead frog in her salad at a California pizza restaurant.

Shawna C posted a scathing Yelp review on June 14 describing the sickening dining experience she had at BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse in West Covina.

She wrote: "I was about 4 bites into it and I noticed it tasted a little different."

"I thought maybe the ranch dressing was a little bitter and after mixing the salad around some more I found a dead baby frog.

"Yes I said FROG! I've never experienced anything in my life like that."

The restaurant manager offered to compensate her meal when Shawna told him what happened.

But she declined, and said they wouldn't be eating there any more.

"He explained that there [sic] produce comes from a vendor but don't they wash there vegs before serving?

"I told him this frog could contain salmonella and who knows how long it's been sitting in a produce bag and he still made us pay for our drinks which consisting of three beers total! "

Shawna was irate at having to pay for her drinks in addition to having to find a new place for her party to have a meal.

She spoke with corporate, who offered her a $50 gift card, which she thought was a "joke".

BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse general manager Krysteen Romero apologised on June 22 for failing to handle the situation in a timely manner.

"We take situations like this very seriously and have launched an internal investigation including discussions with our suppliers and distributors," she said.
