One around here is meh..

only underwhelming if you were expecting something different.

it is what it is. and it is great IMO.

I agree on Red Robin. Sucks.

Cracker Barrel is what it is. Good breakfast, pretty good comfort type food for lunch or supper, usually with pretty good service.

I've gotten to be the same about their food. Maybe I'm just burnt out on it.


Jimmy Johns and Momma Goldberg's are horrible.

I went to Jefferson's in Oxford a couple of weeks ago and it was okay. The sports bar by Home Depot was better.

Milo's - one time, Can't do it anymore.
Outback - Nah

Y'all Chik Fila bashers need to try the Peach Milkshake this summer.

I'd take Chris' hot dogs and burgers over Cracker Barrel, or any chain, any day of the week.

I forgot about Outback. At one time it was a winner. Don't know what happened but I've been very disappointed the last couple of times I went so I just quit going. Longhorn has taken their place now if I'm looking for that type place.

What ever happen to Chi Chis restaurant. They were Mexican before it became popular. Still sell stuff in stores.

I agree Outback has gone to pot.

Momma Goldbergs - I just don't get it. Soggy subs. WTH?

Chick-Fil_A - I don't get it either. Pickle flavored chicken sandwich?

The Varsity in Atlanta - WTH!?

Pretty much any touristy "seafood" restaurant on the coast. Hardly any of those places serve actual Gulf seafood.

Almost forgot..RED LOBSTER

I don't know who the genius is that said "Hey, lets put carpet in a seafood restaurant" so when all that seafood smell gets stuck in the fibers, it will smell like a gynecologist office!

The only positive is those cheese biscuits

Ruth Chris and thaat Chinese place at the Summitt...waaaaay over rated.

Damn Chinese place plays every genre of music one after another, and way too loud.

Chili's, Outback, Applebees, all terrible and I just don't go to any of them anymore, oh, Ruby Tuesday...all prepackaged, microwaved sides...no thanks, yep, add Red Lobster to the list.

They're steamed, you hating heretical food snobs. STEAMED! STEAMED!


I attended AU and worked at MGs one summer. Have eaten a lot. Made a bunch. Saw it from start to finish.

Truly, and not trying to be a Yelling at Clouds Curmudgeon, they're not as good as they once were. After they added the front deck, cleaned out the insides and removed the pool table, put in the craft beers and tried to capitalize on the growth ... just like anything else, the food went downhill.

Two summers ago, I worked in Macon 3-4 days a week for a while. It took me about three weeks to weed out all the crappy restaurants close to my hotel off hwy 75. I went to these restaurants every week, and very seldom did I get bad food. When I did, they knew it. They all knew me on first name basis. Best-Texas Roadhouse, 2nd Wild Wings (not buffalo wild wings) in the shopping center, 3rd logans by the Hampton Inn. I got up one night and walked out at Applebees after waiting for like 15 min to get waited on. Place was a ghost town and I understood why.

Panera bread is a over priced chitty place to eat,wimmen will suggest going there.

Costas in Trussville sucks.

To a degree Zaxbys food is meh.

Waffle House is pretty good breakfast but everyone I go in the workers will be at each other's throats behind the counter.

The Jim N Nix in Gardendale sucks,too many democrats that don't give a rat's ass if you get service or the correct food.

now y'all are just naming crappy restaurants. If you are underwhelmed by a crappy chain restaurant, you need to re-evaluate your standards.

PF Changs. I like their hot & sour soup and the lettuce wraps. never noticed the music

PF Changs is it, I don't like the food or the atmosphere. My mother used to want to eat there every Mothers Day.
