When a swanky joint like Red Lobster sees a slump in business, you know the economy is bad.

Restaurant food quality seems to have taken a major dive during the Obama years. My wife and I have stopped going out, not so much because of the cost (which
has gone up) but because we always walk away feeling ripped off by the quality.
Cooking at home is now not only healthier, it's mandatory if you want anything to eat that actually tastes good.

I was just at the St. George, Utah Red Lobster a week and a half ago and there was a huge wait to get seated. We had to wait 10 minutes, but by the time we left, the waiting area was packed.

I vowed never to go into any of those restaurants again when they caved in to that overweight dictator-ass.

One of the funniest radio bits I’ve heard was this guy calling people at random and asking them “quiz questions”.
One call was with a lady and the host asked her out with this amazing pickup line: “I gotta coupon to Red Lobster...”

it’s mandatory if you want anything to eat that actually tastes good...I go to Mexican restaurants around here where I can’t understand them and they don’t know what the hell I’m asking them about. I point at the beer, point at the menu and if I like it, tip like hell. They are always happy to see me, shake their heads ‘No’ if I point at something that isn’t good. Brought some dried peppers in one time and they put it on their own food and stared at me like I was nuts.

The food at Olive Garden is good. The service at Olive Garden in Glendale (CA) is TOO slow for me so I quit going. Our department called in an order for an office party and we still waited almost an hour from the time it was supposed to be ready.
To: Mr. Jeeves
When we go out, we typically stick with family style restaurants, where they owners are likely to also be the wait staff and cooks. Good quality, good prices, and friendly service.

If they want to increase traffic at The Olive Garden, I suggest they go back to their pre-2000 recipes.

In Ocala FL, just across from the Paddock Mall on 200 (College Road) is what I call Restaurant Row. It is packed with the likes of Olive Garden, Red Lobster, Outback, etc. Chili's is a little down and across the street, and a Carrabba's a little further away going into town. All of them are packed almost every day of the week, almost from opening to closing. There is almost always quite a long wait (unless, of course, you get their when they open).
Only Chili's has seen fit to open another store farther away, but still in Ocala. Whenever we go out to eat, we plan on a non-standard time and figure we will still have to wait about 20-30 minutes for a table.

I agree with that statement Geron and I am happy to watch those people get their comeuppance.
Sadly though it doesn't just impact them.
I remember up until my Sister graduated High School (which was 2008....what else happened that year?) Our Family would eat out all the time.
Any Excuse would do
Easter, Uncle Flying in, Vernal Equinox?-Red Lobster we go!
Now I can barley afford Fruit for my Kids.
This Deathcare tax/fine whatever is also gonna cost me thousands of Dollars I don't have.
So all you people who voted for and still support Ubama, I honestly Pray you hope and change yourselves into the Poor house! I HATE you all!
