better than a McD burger

This is not a ringing endorsement, nor a difficult task.

I love Calabos and Red Robbins the most...

"Outback Steakhouse has been voted number one Best Steak in the 2010 Zagat National Restaurant Chain Survey."

And I guess that answers that question, doesnt' it?

I am willing to give Outback one more shot but not the same location. Everything we ate was drenched in butter and salt. The green beans were undercooked. The steak was overcooked. The fries and the rolls were ok.

Had the Chili's babybacks in the Shiner Bock sauce with a Sam Adams Lager last night. Life is good

Went to Marie Callenders for lunch and had the Burger + Fries + Pie combo. The bun on the burger was soggy. The chocolate satin pie was good.

I'm on the same web page as you fairly much, with the exclusion to Outback, which has been excellent to me. Unfortunately, Fridays and Chilis are nowhere practical to me. I think the nearest may be in De for each, and if I have to go to those programs, I choose a better position. Dark red Mondays isn't bad if you have those in your throat of the timber.

Finally had Red Robin. The burger was OK, I wasn't blown away. I wouldn't avoid eating there again but I wouldn't go out of my way to go there. Still rating 5 Guys at the top of the pile.
