My favorite part of Red Lobster is the way they advertise specials on TV like Lobsterfest, but when you get into the restaurant there's nothing indicating the special is going on.

It's like a ploy to get people in there in the hopes that they'll assume the special is over and just order off their menu.

This gets my vote.

You'd think for having it in their name they'd have killer wings but they're honestly garbage.

Damn some of you are picky. I like almost all food. Sure, some is better than the rest, but the "bad" stuff is rarely actually bad.

lol...I feel bad. All of the places you guys are naming off are my favorite places to eat.

NewChief 02-28-2012 09:08 AM
Any of the Applebee's, Chili's, TGIF type chains are pretty bad, imo. They're fine, but there's better and more interesting food available in that price range. My main problem is the way they all try to capitalize on food trends, and that they do it so abysmally.

"Oh, Thai food is big, now. Let's make Thai Lettuce Fusion Wraps."

"Southwestern is big? Awesome. Let's make Sizzling Southwestern Surprise!"

"Chipotle? Sweet. Chipotle Lime Fish Tacos!."

And all of these "trendy" foods tend to be watered down, shitty, vanilla versions of the original flavors in an attempt to appeal to the broadest possible market.

Jack Stack. Sorry but the last time I ate there the meat was rubbery tasting. The fries were greasy and the service stunk (95 & Antioch). I love BBQ and I love smelling JS when we drive by almost daily but I wasted $100 on subpar BBQ and I won't do it again.

That sounds about like the same experience I had at Gates, by Arrowhead, without the $100 beating. The ribs I got were about 70% fat, with 30% meat, just nasty. :shake: I have always had good luck at the stack.

Best Steak and Prime rib: South Bend Steak house in South Bend, Ne.

Best Seafood: Shucks' bar (aka Absolutely Fresh)
2nd: the Jazz (Cajun joint with great crawdad's)
Best BBQ: the Ozarks - nothing worthy of 2nd now that the Amrillo Grill is closed. Well, I guess my place could count. I make the best ribs in Bellevue, NE.
Best Mexican:

This is a sensitive subject around here with our resident fat-asses. People swear by this shit-hole called LaMesa. It's damn terrible IMO. Not authentic at all. I'm partial to Netties or the roach coach in little mexico.

The best burgers in the state are made at Louie M's burger lust in Omaha.

Hey, nice little summary. We agree on a lot of these.

My brother in law manages Absolutely Fresh so he's a good guy to invite to a cookout. He usually brings some good stuff.

I absolutely love Jazz for cajun food.

The best steak I've had in Omaha was at Paxton Chophouse. It's quite pricey, but it's amazing. Flemings is very good, too.

Also, you're right that La Mesa is awful.

Gates sucks too. We ate at the State Line store and it was nasty. I like their sauces but thats it.

We used to have good luck at JS and went there as a treat or birthday (We have a large family) so it was really disappointing to celebrate a new job with lousy, expensive food. OK Joes is my favorite.

WTF?

Anthony's is still around but it's gone from dinner and a show to a steak house/night club type of place.

Angie's is gone, too.

Next time I'm in the area, I'll have to give OK Joes a shot.

Defintely do. Go to the 47th street location as it's the original one that's part of a gas station. Lines out the door at lunch and dinner. You will not be disappointed.

****ing THANK YOU! La Mesa is shit mexican food. I live right behind the main restaurant in Bellevue and the place is always packed. I just don't get it, it's terrible. Back in the day, it used to be good but now it's basically Taco Bell with worse food. We have a huge mexican population in Omaha and a bunch of real mexican restaurants but people clamor for that dog-shit.

TGI Fridays is the most overated restaurant in the entire world. Not bad just overated.
