Netflix is opening a pop-up restaurant that will feature celebrity chefs in Los Angeles, and people are cooking up a storm on Twitter — they're roasting the company for its password-sharing policies and canceled TV shows.
The streaming giant announced on Wednesday that Netflix Bites will open on June 30.
The restaurant will feature dishes from award-winning chefs from popular Netflix series.
Since the announcement, the internet has jumped at the opportunity to dunk on the company for various reasons.

"sadly you can't share a table there," read a tweet with over 140,000 likes as of June 15, taking a jab at Netflix's password-sharing crackdown.
Netflix had recently announced plans to charge an additional $8 per month for users sharing their password with another person living outside their household, per the Associated Press on May 24.

"They cancel your meal after the appetizer," read another with over 60,000 likes as of June 15, referencing the streaming platform's history of canceling TV shows too early.
Some also took the chance to pan the company's inadequate wages for screenwriters.

"So y'all got money for this but not to pay writers or assistants? Oh. Okay," read a tweet with over 75,000 likes as of June 15.
Nevertheless, those interested in tasting the acclaimed chefs' unique dishes can reserve a spot at Netflix Bites online.
Chefs at the pop-up restaurant will include Curtis Stone and Dominique Crenn from "Iron Chef: Quest for an Iron Legend" and Rodney Scott from "Chef's Table: BBQ," per Netflix.
"Bringing my love of food to people across the world is one of the biggest thrills of my life but this screen-to-table experience of giving fans a taste of what happens on camera is just awesome," Michelin-starred chef Curtis Stone told Netflix.
Mixologists from Netflix's "Drink Masters," including Frankie Solarik and Julie Reiner will also be creating custom cocktails for the restaurant's drink menu, per Netflix.
