So, you're walking down the street minding your own business and I come up behind you (lets pretend I'm 6' 6" 260 and not 5' 9") and get you in a rear naked choke.
I say you have to have dinner with me and I'll take the cuffs off I bound us by the ankles with with my magical extra set of hands if you promise not to have food on lip that makes me uncomfortable and spoils an otherwise fine dining experience.
There are only two options: Red Lobster or Olive Garden. Where do we eat? [Reply]
They aren't that bad just way overpriced. I'll go with Olive Garden for the salad and breadsticks. I live in the PNW so I'm kind of a snob when it comes to seafood. [Reply]
Interesting question, because I've eaten at both of them in the last week.
I like Red Lobster a lot. Of course here in KC we don't get the kind of seafood like you would in Maryland, or the Gulf Coast, or Pacific Coast. But they do a decent job. I've never had trouble getting as many biscuits as I could possibly want. I love shrimp, so I can wreck some endless shrimp nights.
I took my wife to Olive Garden last night. One of our kitties passed away yesterday and she was feeling blue, so I took her out to dinner. She had the Tour of Italy. I just had spaghetti and meatballs. Reasonable, got out without drinking alcohol for the two of us for less than $40.
Of the two I like Red Lobster better. I make better meatballs at home than OG, but I like their salad. [Reply]
If you're ever in Memphis stay away from the BBQ joint that obviously used to be a Red Lobster. Disgusting and dirty. Worst BBQ Ive ever had other than Heady's in Republic and Bubba's in Springfield. [Reply]

If it is, its probably a franchise that runs all or most of the Nashville Red Lobsters, because everyone I have been to is crap. [Reply]

I come from a pretty old school family when it comes to making sauces ("gravy" by the old guys) for pasta and don't know if I could handle jar stuff. Too used to homemade.
I've heard good things about Carrabba's which is right down the road from Red Lobster but I'm picking up the tab for 15~ people and pretty sure the kids won't mind what they shovel down their throat.

Yeah that's my philosophy as well with the Olive Garden. Not only with the salad, but with the meal. "Would you like some shredded parmesan on your meal sir?"
I always chime in with something like "you better take a deep breath and stretch out your fingers so you don't pull something because you are about to get a workout." [Reply]

It's gonna be an Old Crow evening.
We've had good meals at Carraba's too. It's all good. [Reply]
