I think that Carraba's is owned by the same people who own Olive Garden, or at least I heard that somewhere once.
Famous Dave's is OK, but pales in comparison to the barbeque places I've been to in FL, like Sonny's. Or local joints like Sweet Lucy's in Northeast Philly (possibly the best I've ever had) or Newberry Backyard Barbeque in North FL, or Uncle Pete's in Revere (sadly closed), or Redbones in Davis Square.
I really dislike Longhorn Steakhouse. It used to be very good, but has had a rapid decline in recent years. And I've been to about 4 or 5 different ones in a couple of states with no joy. The last time I went to one, we waited about 20 minutes to get our order taken, then another 40 for our food, then when it came out, it was ice cold and the potatoes were hard. The manager comp'd us the whole bill - and there were 7 of us at the table - and she gave us free desert
Texas Roadhouse is OK, but that has gone downhill too.
