When going out to eat...

[Lachesis00]

Not a $50 meal per person but not McDonalds, where do you like to go? Names of places

 

[tonyswife]

For inexpensive meals I like Denny's for breakfast and Applebees for lunch. For dinner, I love Olive Garden, but take out because the wait is usually so long. Yum!

I like to go to Applebee's or Chili's. They are nice 'in-between" places to go. When we went to Applebee's a few weeks ago and for the 4 of us the bill was around $60 total.

I love to go to Red Lobster. Or anywhere with good seafood. I love seafood. Shrimp is awesome. Give me shrimp and crablegs and I will be happy for a long time.

Outback Steakhouse. Both my DD's work there. Also, I get 50% off, which is nice. I also like TGI Fridays, they make a chicken dish, I forget the name, but it has alot of garlic in it. My co-worker's are not happy with me the next day. I usually reek of garlic.

My FAVORITE "moderate" restaurant is Cheddar's! They have the BEST dish - it is called Mushroom Dijon Chicken, and it is just heavenly. I also like Chili's and Ruby Tuesdays.

I like Chili's for there soup. I love the Olive Garden for Soup & Salad. I also like Cracker Barrel for there Vegetable Platter.

For breakfast we go to a small "mom & pop" resturant called Olga's. Best "blue berry pancakes" in the world. They put so many blue berries in there pancakes they are great. Also a side of fried taters to go with them. Yum! Thing is Olga's daughter is the better cook. We always check to see who's cooking.

[Missy1961]

TGI Friday's
Olive Garden
Boulder Creek (steak) I used to love Outback, but since I've gone to BC, no more OB.
Pizzeria Uno
Red Lobster--I was there Monday night. They have a great Sam Adams beer battered fish & chips. Yum!
Ruby Tuesday--they changed their menu recently, but they still have the best chicken fingers
And when I don't want to go to a sitdown, but I don't want fast food, I go to Quiznos. Yummmmmmmmm.

And most of these (except BC & RL) are within 5 minutes of home.

 

[luckywife]

Subway, Steak N Shake, Olive Garden, Texas Roadhouse,
Chi-Chi's (heard they went out of business or that they're going to soon.)

 

[Davids-Coco]

We typically go to Melting Pot, Gustavs, Red Lobster, Chilis (one of the only resturaunts in our town), and I am not sure where else. All are good in their own way.

 

[disneyatl]

We love Steak 'n Shake!

Most of the time we go out to eat at Logan's (a steakhouse) or a mexican restaurant called La Fiesta....my all time favorite. Red Lobster is also at the top of our list and a local Italian restaurant.

Bugaboo Creek or the Outback

Funny story..when I was pregnant with my youngest, I constantly craved the cheese fries at the Outback..and if you have ever ordered that particular appetizer, you know the size dish we are talking about! I would order it as my meal, and get it with extra sour cream, and just smother them in sour cream..one day I was telling a co-worker how I liked my cheese fries, and my supervisor walked by and just said, "oh yeah, now that sounds like a healthy, nutrious meal" It was soo funny! He actually went to the Outback one night and the next day at work, I found the table advertisment for the cheese fries in my cubby! He really had a good time with it!

I can't even look at cheese fries today! LOL
