What is the restaurant EVERYBODY raves about?.... except you.

[kasar]

Yeah, I don't get the attraction to Olive Garden either. My family likes it so I'll go and have the soup which isn't bad.

I don't like Ruby Tuesdays or Hard Rock Cafe food. Also, as fun as Rainforest Cafe is, I really dislike their food - the atmosphere makes up for the food and obviously they're doing something right with those long waits but yuck!

 

[Cyndirella]

Definitely Outback. My DH makes a much better steak here on our grill and we don't have to wait for an hour for a table while drinking overpriced beers!

It's seafood. It's not gourmet food or anything, but it's pretty good, and it's very fun. It's one of those places that has weird things hanging on the walls and from the ceilings (sort of like Chili's, but less dignified and more like a beach shack). The wait staff is really fun and will sometimes all get together and do dances to the music playing.

Joe's Crab Shack?

Sounds fun! I love South Carolina, just one more reason to want to live there one day.

Another one here who doesn't get Olive Garden.
My BF and I went a few weeks ago in the middle of the afternoon on a weekend just to do something different. It was a 40 minute wait. We walked out and went to Wendy's.


I prefer the Bertucci's chain. Much better food. May even be same parent company, but it's just better.

I would have to say Red Lobster & Roadhouse Grill.

I like the Roadhouse sweet rolls, but other than that I don't find it so great. I love seafood but I would go anywhere other than Red Lobster for it.

Joe's Crab Shack?

Yes, it's the same thing. In fact, I think that most of their stuff calls it Joe's Crab Shack now, but I had a friend in college who worked there, and they called it Eat at Joe's then, so I always call it that.

White Castle.

Not a big fan of Bennigan's or Applebee's.

 

[monarchsfan16]

Outback, Carabbas, TGI Fridays, Margaritas

LOL! I was like "um, that's Joe's Crab Shack" but now I understand. Never heard it called Eat at Joe's, except that is a line in their theme song.

On that same subject, I don't care for it at all. OVerpriced, and you have to sit on hard benches.

Not counting that, I HATE Outback. Their steaks are of terrible quality!!! if I want a steak, I go for a real steakhouse instead.

I LOVE Joe's. It's so much fun. I've certainly had better seafood but it's a hoot to go there. They've got the Eat at Joe's on all the tshirts and stuff.

All of the above and adding Hooters, MiMi's Cafe and Macaroni Grill.

 

[poohkinandpiglet]

(but I am curious what Eat At Joe's is! )

Joe's Crab Shack

 

[nmudisneyfan]

I agree with Olive Garden! I think it's yucky!
I don't like Wendy's either. In my hometown, it's about every other person's favorite place to eat at.

At WDW, I don't like the 50s Prime Time Cafe. My family and I tried it one trip and we haven't went back!

 

[lemondog]

P.F. Chang's

 

[JVL1018]

Outback Steakhouse--tried it twice.. Never again. DH and I both think it bites.

 

[Sparx]

outback, not a red meat fan.

 

[Poohnatic]

I agree with Mimi's. Never heard of them until I moved to Florida. Was NOT impressed and DH was sick from it.

When we were asking for info about California from the friend we're going to visit, he told us there's this awesome restaurant you have to try, it's called Mimi's. We told him we're not eating there, lol!

On the other hand, we just had a new place open up-Cody's roadhouse grill. OMG, really good food-cheap!

 

[scoutsmom99]

Accapocco (sp?) Mexican restaurant. I just ate there tonight with the family (tyring to for a 3 time) and I just hate it. They use a white cheese sauce instead of shredded cheese which drives me crazy! I much prefer my Ole Mexico (which the family hates)...I can't get enough of that place...they deep fry thier own taco shells there and use real shredded cheese yum

 

[theSurlyMermaid]

The Occidental in DC. I did not find it that great. Also, the Inn at Little Washington was nice, but not worth the $$$.
