For my money, The Outback is okay if you can stand that your steaks are "salt-licks" that will attract deer if eaten near a northeastern woodlands. Other than that, I can't think of a single place I'd do anything more than have a beer in while watching some sporting event provided they're lucky enough not to have fired or driven out the few decent bartenders that work at these places. T.G.I. Fridays has its fans here, mostly because of the cheap drinks. But the one nearby is probably one of the worst managed festering shitholes as far as food goes. The thought of eating at Applebees makes me feel unwell. Friendlys just sucks. Buffalo Wildwings is a particular sore-spot here because there is nothing particularly "Buffalo" about their shitty wings. I haven't been in a Chili's in years. A lot of people say that The Cheesecake Factory is going downhill and the P.F. Changs I've never been to. I've eaten the pseudo-Italian slop at The Olive Garden, which is okay if its really cheap. But can't imagine going there for all the bevy of great local Italian places here.
The only major chain restaurant I can imagine getting a little excited about is LongHorns, which just came into the area and I guess has a huge waiting list to get into - something unusual here as the mall chains ain't all that popular...
