I can live with Longhorn being Number 1, and have had nothing but satisfactory experience with Texas Roadhouse.
I think Outback is overrated. The last two steaks I had there were marginal.
The worst chain steak restaurant has to be Ponderosa.
Fire Mountain might have the best value, just because of the buffet
What they do to a chop is a crime. Somebody should go to jail. They must have a big machine in the back with a giant needle that injects gristle into the meat.
Longhorn has always been great as far as I am concerned. Never tried Ruths or the others except for out Outback which didn’t impress me anytime I went.
Besides I am the guy who gets hamburgers and chicken at steak places. Steak never excited me very much.
A Texas Roadhouse was built right across the street from an Outback in our neighborhood. The Outback went out of business while people waited in line for up to an hour to eat at the Roadhouse.
I used to go to the Ponderosa when they had “all you can eat shrimp”.
Around here, they'll go through periods when they'll work on quality, but then they'll really slip again. Their cooks mess up the steak seasoning, leave the sweet potatoes swimming in something awful, and will occasionally cut quality with getting lousy veggies to steam.
The one that is consistant is Ruby Tuesday.
Are they still in business?
Last time I went to one (a long time ago)...their food sucked..
Outback is terrible. Long Horn and Lone star are both pretty good.
We used to have one where we live (inland Empire) now it is Ponderosa Dental.
Hmmmmm...maybe next weekend... :) :)
