Restaurants

What's your favorite CHAIN restaurant and why? Mine is Texas Roadhouse because they have awesome ribs!

Ooh, hard to make a choice.....Outback, or Tony Roma's

I'd eat at a good Mom-and-Pop, one-of-a-kind restaurant over any chain, any day.

Hmm.....probably Ghengis Grill, even though the food isn't authenitcally Mongolian. Tastes good, if you can match the right meats and spices.

Mmmmmm... Chilis!

I also like Olive Garden.

'Pends on what you mean by "chain." There's local chains and national chains. None of the national chains I would say. Locally there's Jim 'N Nicks BBQ where we usually like to go for a treat. Great BBQ, usually outstanding service (we've gotten stung a couple of times, but I've never been to any restaurant where the service was 100%, 100% of the time,) very good Killian's on tap (they keep it good and cold.) When we've gotten adventurous with the menu and gotten something other than our "usual" it's always been good, too.

Outback, for sure - my husband's favorite place! We always eat ourselves silly there.

Me too. I also like IHOP.

My best friend used to work for Outback corporate, so we definitely had our share of all of their concepts, and at a discount, too!

That includes Carrabba's and Bonefish Grill, among others.

Locally Planet Sub, the best sub sandwichs ever.

In general, T.G.I. Fridays and 54th Street.

However every once in a while, McDonalds is yummy.

Mine is Outback and Bonefish Grill.

My fav about Olive Garden is their Salad and breadsticks.

i dont know any local chain restaurants, but any restaurant in sicily will do me fine! so far the best restaurant was on the mountain in Alcamo hmmmmm yummy

We don't have a Bonefish Grill around here. There's a non-chain restaurant called Bonefish Willy's that I LOVE, so it makes me curious - what is Bonefish Grill like?

I think Outback is overrated and overpriced. I haven't been there since years ago my husband (then) had steak and I had salmon. His came with a salad, but mine didn't. Whats up with that?

I guess if I have to pick a chain, it would be Red Lobster. I like being able to order a half portion, they don't overcook their fish (at least the one around here doesn't), and I LOVE their biscuits!

Katherine, Carraba's is really great, too. Olive Garden is ok. I worked there a long time ago and I must say, its one of the cleanest restaurants I've worked in. A waitress got caught licking salad dressing off her hand and they made her stop waiting on tables and sweep the kitchen.

I love Palaminos. It is my favorite restaurant period- and by default my favorite chain. Ruth's Chris is yummy as well. I also really like TGI Fridays and O'Charleys. I haven't eaten at Carabbas yet, but I want to. Their menu looks yummy.

I work at the Olive Garden and it is definitely the cleanest restaurant I have worked for as well. We even have sani-wipes near the drink station in case we use a cone cup to get a drink of soda. Do not fear your food at the OG, it will not be contaminated

I looove to eat so I'm going to go a little overboard I'm sure, but my favorites would be Red Lobster, the Olive Garden, and Chilis. Those are always my top 3 picks depending on what kind of food I'm in the mood for exactly. Although I do like some local places maybe a tad better.

My favorite is Outback - Aussie Cheese Fries and really good bread!

I really like Applebees too. Their food is pretty good and they actually have some really good drinks too (chocolate martini - yum )
