It's either got to be one of them damn noodle houses or the Olive Garden. Personally I think it's probably the Olive Garden.

He got all pasta dishes then went over and got pizza and several deserts. So much for a healthy dinner or procreation.

Red Robin. Although the food is good, 9 or 10 bucks for a burger and fries is pretty ridiculous.

But i have to say...we (people in general) pay these prices because we like being catered to. We dont have to cook, we dont have to clean up. You just order, eat and leave.....

Its all part of the price....

Applebee's blows.

Whoever said Quizno's is sorely mistaken. They make the best subs on the market.

I'm really not that cheap, though. I just won't spend $2.50 for fountain drinks. I don't think that's unreasonable.

I agree. I did have a mozza burger that had to be eaten with a fork there a couple of months ago though I was just fine with the $10 price tag on it. Again, it was just that damn good.

They need soda like a hole in the head.

Pizza Hut.

Even with a coupin its still $12 a pizza, and tastes like grease-soaked toilet crust

Yeah. Quiznos makes a damn good sub. It's smaller than it used to be and about $3 more though, so it's highly overpriced. I understand that healthy eating and portions are directly related. Don't charge me more money for less food though, you lose my business.

**Baby Lee** · 08-07-2007, 11:55 AM

OMFG!!! Olive Garden is the suxxors!!! no carpaccio???!!! Those marthafockers!!!

Yeah, I went into Taco Bell the other day and ordered Chile Rubbed Acapulco Snapper. They said they didn't carry that. WTF?!?!?

I think you need to change your thread title to 'Which Restaurants have too many carbs for my tastes?"

Planet Sub aka Yello Sub makes a damn good sub

Jason's Deli. $6 for a sandwich on plain old white bread, a bag of chips and a can of coke. Sure the sandwich is an inch thick, but it is just plain old deli meat that you can buy at the store.

Long John Silver's/Captain D's. Every value meal is at least $6, and when you get it you have no idea what it is. You get a 3 piece fish/chicken combo, and I have no idea which piece is fish and which is chicken because all you can taste is the breading.

Hey, those national advertising campaigns cost a lot of money.

I try not to eat at places for whom college bowl games are named after. If your restaurant is putting up $10,000,000 to have a college bowl game, you're probably charging me too much.

I don't go very often, but our office agrees that the one thing we'd like added to our lunch options in the area is an Olive Garden with the soup/salad deal. The last couple of times I've been [I think I've only been twice in the last year and a half, once my sister picked it for her B-Day dinner, and once when the power was out last year and a new one had just opened up nearby], it was refreshingly fresh, well prepared entrees.

I don't get it either, it's $10, what do you want, a bottle of Dom? It's pretty decent tasting food. If I wanted authentic I wouldn't be at some chain restaurant anyway.
