Anyone had a good meal at a restaurant lately?

[phattymatty]

Went to the Cheesecake Factory at the B-more Harbor on Saturday for my sister's b-day.  Excellent meal.  We also got our deserts for free because about 5 minutes after we were seated, we were asked to move to accomodate a larger party.  Free cheesecake > everything else. 

there's a cheesecake factory two blocks from my house so i go there pretty often.  they have this shrimp and bacon club that is possibly one of my favorite meals of any restaurant, even thought it's a chain.  it feeds one extremely hungry dude or two people can even share it.  they also have a gigantic and delicious cobb salad.

and their "well-mannered dirty martini" is the shtein, the olives are stuffed with blue cheese.  kinda pricey but really good.

Cheesecake factory is usually pretty good. The portions are farging enormous and usually tastes pretty good, especially for a chain. Their drinks/martinis are the best part of the experience. You won't find better Martinis anywhere. Their cheesecake is also good, of course.

I always eat too farging much at that place. I never thought about getting a martini there. Thanks for the recommendation...I'll get a designated driver next time.

I'll throw in a vote of agreement for Cheesecake Factory.  It's very good for a chain.

never been there

[ice grillin you]

cheesecake factory used to have pretty good shepherds pie...but i refuse to go there now as its possibly the most annoying clientele on earth and is always ridiculously over crowded with a ridiculous wait...if im gonna wait that long its not gonna be "good for a chain" food

i don't like cheesecake factory. ate there one time a few years ago. wasnt impressed. wont be back.

besides, the last thing the people i see going in there need is to stuff their fat holes with giant peices of cheesecake.

where is the cheesecake factory in philly?

[Wingspan]

there is one at the King of Prussia Mall.

i can't stop thinking about the shrimp and bacon club.  i think that might be dinner.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I'm thinkin' Arby's.


(Actually, I might get Arby's tonight.  Really.)

[phattymatty]

there is exactly one arby's that i know of around me and i make an effort to hit it maybe once a month.  for fast food, you can't beat a beef and cheddar and curly fries.  i don't even care if they get the roast beef in liquid form.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Yes on the beef and cheddar, but I prefer the regular fries.

I've never thought of going to Arby's as something requiring "effort" though.

I just got the 5 for $5 at ARBYS yesterday.   3 Beef and Cheddars, 1 Curly Fries, 1 Coke.  holler.

The cajun jambalaya pasta at Cheesecake Factory is ridiculous.

Too bad the closest one to my house is about and hour and fifteen minutes away in Orlando.

That sounds like the most disgusting meal anyone has ever eaten.
