Gotta love BJ's pizza. Can't go wrong with a deep dish with pepperoni, bacon, and sausage plus a pint of Tatonka Stout.

I complained to my sis about it once. She hates Panera too. She went w her dh and between the two of them, ordering two combos came out to almost $30! That's insane. That's a nice sit down meal for that price!

Panera is too expensive for the little bit of food you get. I'll take Subway any day over them.

I love Tx RH, I've only had one bad meal from them. Ordered the prime rib and it was horrible. It was 60% fat and nasty !

I think Wendy Hamburger chain always lives up to the hype. Never had a complaint with them.

Yummy!

Some of my faves too. I also really like Subway.

Subway uses low bid processed meats, and not enough of it YUCK.

Penn Station
Jimmy Johns
Papa Johns
Woody's Oasis
California Pizza Kitchen (pizzas, not so much others things)
Chili's (just for their salsa)
Olive Garden (ya, I know, frozen, bland crap, but I like noodles with globs of cheese and their over dressed salad is my favorite)
Taco Bell (yep, I said it. I don't eat meat, so that may be why. Never minded it though. All fast food ingredients are garbage. At least theirs are priced accordingly.)
Chicken Shack

We love Longhorn Steakhouse. I'm a Chili's fanatic (for their chips and salsa). When we lived in San Diego, we couldn't get enough of Rubio's for their fish tacos and In & Out Burgers.

Yes! The shrimp scampi with angel hair is spectacular. I just wish it was half the size so I'd have room for cheesecake after.

LOL, I know, I was stuffed and didn't try the cheesecake either, but I had to look at the case for several minutes before leaving. Do you recommend a particular cheesecake, there were so many different kinds.

You are doing it wrong. You are supposed to START with dessert there

The Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake is heavenly.
