I love Red Lobster. I always get the same thing though, fried shrimp and shrimp scampi. Agree with Pizza Hut, however they have the best creamy italian dressing in the world.

A few things:

Chipotle OWNS Qdoba.

Lonestar is great. They have an awesome dinner salad and the steak is always cooked right. I like Lonestar.

And this is more fast food but Arby's is fucking filthy disgusting.

Someone said they hate dominoes and I used to agree but since they changed their recipe they are probably my favorite pizza chain now

If you think Chipotle has no taste, you're doing it wrong.

Also, trivia question: Which fast food restaurant is the most profitable per square foot?

lol wtf. Second post today that I reply with the same shit. F me.

my first thought was in and out but now i'm thinking maybe sonic (given how small the restaurant itself is)

Never been to Red Lobster, doesn't look like I'm missing a whole lot.

OG breadsticks and salad are good, but the food is meh. Better than applebees or fridays imo though.

Pizza hut around here is bomb, think it has to be or nobody would pay 10 when there is an illitch owned 5 dollar pizza store every mile. Its like they need to put in a little more effort. Pan pizza and stick with or w/o cheese.

Oh and not a big fan of qdoba or chipotle since a new chain came in called taco del mar. Any of these around you people?

I have them put like 5 scoops of the spiciest salsa extra cheese and guac with barbacoa. Doubt its me doing anything wrong. I couldn't put much more on one.

Just made your opinion completely invalid. Hooters food is fucking terrible. No wonder you think Chipotle is flavorless, LOL

Yeah, you are doing it wrong, you are masking the flavor with that much salsa. The barbacoa is awesome, one scoop of salsa is enough and hold the guac. I'm an obsessive burrito eater and Chipotle by far has the tastiest burrito options among the chains, the only thing that tends to be a bit bland is the tortilla.

this is true and its the same at similar places..

fucking place is terrible...i wont EVER eat there..

i hate red lobster..its soo shitty...but any "fast-food" seafood is going to be that way. i lived on the coast of florida and bought seafood and learned to cook many varieties of seafood so i will never eat at one of those places again..

ever since i started dating my gf i rarely eat any fast food..it fucks up my stomach now..I dont get all the hate for the OG..i knew several people that worked there and they have some good entrees..and why would anyone get a steak there that's just plain stupid..

winners..i've never had a bad experience at Texas Roadhouse..plus it helped a friend of mine bartended there for 4 years in college..

if you ever want close to a good seafood experience I suggest you try Bonefish Grill...

dont really mind places like Sonic and DQ and Culvers

i actually dislike Subway a ton now..just not feeling it..its there with McDonalds

as most have said local places FTW

Hot N Now? Havent seen one in years. Is this place still open.

Little Caesars?

+1 for Bob Evans and The Waffle House

its gotta be a pasta of some kind. fazolis? noodles?

I say Papa Johns.

taco bell for most profit sq foot

Olive Garden is expensive? I work there and its not expensive in the slightest, its like 10-15 a meal, and for lunch its 6-12$ ....and the food is steadily improving(at least at mine, good cooks)
