I like Olive Garden.

0dungo-nation at work.

O’s economy is now even hurting the cheap, family type restaurants like Olive Garden. Not just the high end places. Next thing will be McD’s and BK.

Maybe Obama will show up at a Red Lobster on Monday and relate this to the Sequester.

Wait until the “deathstar” of ObamaCare fully hits these businesses.

Nothing at all to do with the federal theft of our wages. Fatzilla forced all of us to cough up more of our limited income to feed its insatiable maw, but fatzilla can’t reduce it’s belt notch a lousy 1% without incessant hysteria and claims of wolf-at-the-door. Those people and their constant cries of wolf make me absolutely sick. And it’s the same stinking behavior from every local school district, town, village, city, county, and state government. Why can’t they just man-up and make do with what they extort from us?

When gas is $3.98 per gallon, it leave a lot less to eat out on.

I have not set foot in one of these places since they pulled their ads from Glenn Beck on Fox.

Maybe the Dems desired massive hike in minimum wage will help! /s

We like Longhorn. But, as retirees, we cannot afford it much.

[Peter W. Kessler]

There are great Olive Gardens, and AWFUL Olive Gardens. Consistency through the chain is not their strong point.

I ate at a Longhorn years ago. It was awful.

I much prefer Texas Roadhouse. Great food, well prepared, great service, and consistency - every TR I’ve patronized has been splendid.

Just my two cents...

[trisham]

IIRC, the CEO of Longhorn Steakhouse, Clarence Otis Jr., has donated thousands of dollars to democrats.

Well, I have another suggestion for them: try serving something called “good food”.

Oh, their commercials always make their food look oh so tempting an luscious.....til you actually go into one and see what’s dumped onto your plate.

I’ve eaten in all three of those chains. I could have just chewed on the menu and gotten the same satisfaction. Horrid.

Last time the family was in Olive Garden, my daughter ordered her favorite dish. And as soon as she got it, she knew she'd love it -- because she loves it when my wife buys it from Costco. No, seriously, her $20 dinner was from the frozen foods section of Costco. OG thawed it out and heated it up.

Classic.

[ConservativeInPA]

Below average food, poor service and they are in bed with Moooshell’s menu augmentations. They won’t be seeing my business.

[omega4179]

Shouldn’t he worry about the first quarter??

[Cicero]

We hardly ever eat out these days. Can’t afford it.

And if we did eat out, we’d go to a local restaurant, not a chain.

I would imagine that these days fewer and fewer people can afford it.

[TalBlack]

One of the ridiculous gothic (NY thing)diners by me has a huge sign stretching across his parking lot which reads “all dinners half price”. People have cut their eating out-BIG TIME!

[My Favorite Headache]

Olive Garden = Good

Red Lobster = Dread Lobster/Dead Lobster = Pure crap with the exception of cheese rolls.

Longhorn = OLD MEAT. Dirty. Nasty.

[surroundedbyblue]

Wasn’t Darden up Obummer’s bum? If I recall, they were big proponents of his & they’re large corporate donors of Planned Parenthood.

Looks like their chickens are coming home to roost. No sympathy here.
