I thought I remembered reading that somewhere

man, I used to work there when I went to NCSU
and I saw a few rare burgers fly out of the kitchen. looked like a plate of blood

8/11/2008 6:12:58 PM

damons grill gets a negative 1000 just because i used to work there and they went 'rupt

8/11/2008 6:13:40 PM

tripps? o'charleys?

8/11/2008 6:13:50 PM

first

8/11/2008 6:14:09 PM

I would rather save $5-10 and just go to mcdonalds or chick-fil-a. or eat at home.

but ruby tuesday's or friday's is probably my favorite of those

lol i worked at lone star during my college days

i can assure you that your food may well have been on the floor and then served to you anyways

I always judge a restaurant on how their food tastes.

I actually like applebee's

O'charleys and TGI Fridays suck pretty bad though

8/11/2008 7:16:31 PM

looks like the rockola on avent ferry may turn into a mexican restaurant

i went to ted's montana grill tonight and had the bison blue cheese burger. it was pretty good, i'd like to try some other stuff from the menu though.

i like chili's and ruby tuesday's better, but ted's seems right up there with them.

8/11/2008 9:03:09 PM

is this a thread for queers?

8/11/2008 9:03:33 PM

I eat out at a place because I am craving a particular item on their menu. Applebee's for their Oriental Chicken Rollup and Ruby Tuesday's for their mini-burgers. There are very few places that I eat without already having in mind what I am going to order, so it is hard to make a comparison. However, Rockola is waaaaaaaaaaaaay down on my list for places that I would eat. They have decent cheese fries, but that's about it.

8/11/2008 9:12:18 PM

^^ it is, as of: 8/11/2008 9:03:33 PM

im not the one sittin here bitching about the food thats put in front of me

quit crying


all those places are fine

8/11/2008 9:16:37 PM

nobody's bitching, we're just stating our preferences. it's perfectly reasonable to favor one restaurant over another. however, no chit chat thread would be complete without some trolling - thanks for doing your part.

8/11/2008 9:21:37 PM

well it offends me personally that a bunch of homosexuals can get together and bitch about meat on your table

8/11/2008 9:23:13 PM

evan has not posted in this thread.

8/11/2008 9:28:26 PM

im sure hell be here

he knows how to pick good meat

8/11/2008 9:29:24 PM

anyone been to Ruby Tuesday since they redid all their shit?? i'm intrigued for some reason

8/11/2008 11:26:12 PM

i've been

they bought square plates, reduced their portions and increased their prices

8/12/2008 8:16:00 AM

yes but they're SQUARE!!!!



last time i went to lunch at rubys, it was 11.50 for soup and salad with a diet coke. FOR LUNCH. and that didn't include tip.

8/12/2008 8:26:17 AM

if i go to ruby tuesday i just get the salad bar. unless it has changed in the past 3 months, it was awesome

Since when does "American Style" mean shitty chain restaurant?

8/12/2008 9:32:35 AM

I refuse to eat at Ruby Tuesdays. Ever.

That shit is disgusting.

8/12/2008 9:34:12 AM

^^

That's certainly what I think of when someone says "american style" restaurant.

Our culture is all about quantity, and we want it yesterday. big portions, subpar food, and quick service.

Go USA!

8/12/2008 9:37:43 AM

Stuckey's.

8/12/2008 9:38:57 AM

^^

I guess Nouveau American is the proper term for what I was thinking about.

8/15/2008 3:26:42 PM

Applebee's is the worst restaurant known to man.


At least the three or four I have been to have sucked.

8/15/2008 3:31:17 PM

all the restaurants originally posted are nasty

i didn't read anything else in the thread though

8/15/2008 3:33:02 PM

I remember I actually used to really like to eat at Rock Ola when I lived in Raleigh. They had good rolls.

8/15/2008 3:34:18 PM

My original plan was to include "chain" to the title.

That plan for some reason didn't come to fruition.

And for some reason I thought that I did include chain in the title, hence why added the preface to:

Outback is best

8/15/2008 3:38:00 PM

Red Robin is way too expensive for what it is.

8/18/2008 6:48:01 PM

i have a newfound love for ruby tuesday thanks to the chicken parmesan pasta

8/18/2008 6:49:58 PM

red robin is dangerously close to going over ten bucks

Last time I was in there, it looked like they had jacked everything up

course they're just folllowing trends

The company that owns Bennigans and Steak & Ale filed for bankruptcy, and is closing all locations.

Outback is Aussie themed, but their food is completely American

I'm gonna have to go:
1) Chilis
.

.
2) Outback
