Quoted for truth.

I was gonna say something else, but then I saw this and thought of having pancakes for dinner. Win.

For me, Red Lobster because it's the only one I know (except Cracker Barrel, which I went to once in the US I believe) and I like it. I have been to Outback before (next town over) but I didn't like what I had much.

I'm not really a fan of any of those resturaunts. I like Bob Evans/Owen's, and I'm sure there are other places I like, but I can't think of any right now. I've heard of Jungle Jim's grocery, but still havent been there. Chess squares, I think you are thinking of Golden Corral, they have tons of food. Lord knows I love an all you can eat place, cuz I can eat, and eat and....

I'm a fan of TGI Fridays, frequenting it during the school year with random friends from college.

Of those I would say Chili's, but the best non-fast food chain ever is Farley's. I chose not to vote 'other' because it's a really small chain, with only a few restaurants all located in New Mexico (unless they've expanded a bunch in the past couple years).

I picked Ruby Tuesday out of all those just because their tallcakes are the most awesome desserts ever made, but personally, I am a fan of Damon's myself (I don't know where else has Damon's, but suffice it to say it's a bit like a TGI Friday's but with something called an Onion Loaf, which is way cooler than just onion rings.)

The best in the US is Morton's.

I love steak, and out of all of the commonly accepted best steakhouses in the US, there are only two chains. Morton's and Ruth's Chris. Morton's is far superior. The best steak in the nation, and an extensive assortment of wines. Theres not much that can stand up to that.

There's another chain in New Mexico (and West Texas too, I think) called Cattle Baron's that's really good. They're steakhouses, obviously, and I don't think I've ever had a meal there that I would rate lower than an 'excellent.'

Ah, in New Mexico, the best would have to be Blake's Lotaburger. Green Chili Cheeseburgers, so goood.... Grassylvania, if you are in NM, you simply must go to Blake's. They might be restricted to Southern New Mexico though.

I voted Red Lobster. The biscuits alone are worth it.
