Hellobee Boards

I'd have to say the same since we eat there a lot with the LO.

Outback!

BJs Brewery and Yardhouse! Yardhouse has the best Mac & cheese and over 50 beers on tap...

Carrabba's Italian Grill. I've eaten at chains down the east coast from PA to FL, and no matter where I am I've had fantastic experiences.

Olive Garden!!!

@betsyboop: I second Legal Seafood!!

Outback steakhouse - I have a weird obsession with their pumpernickel bread
Lately it's been buffalo wild wings - wings are so good there

I like BJ's Brewery (hello pizookie!!), CPK and Islands

I love chain restaurants!!! (I can't believe I missed food posts during the post-a-thon when I was at Blake Shelton last night!!!)

My favorites are: Cheesecake, The Melting Pot, Chili's, Bugaboo Creek (ours closed, sadface), Yard House, Bertucci's.... I could go on and on. They are just so family friendly and the food is always so good and reliable.

PF Changs!! I now refuse to get chinese takeout from the mom and pop places nearby because I like PF Changs so much better and it isn't much more expensive.

Our favorite restaurants to eat out at aren't chains, though.

Melting Pot for sure...... best cheese fondue ever!

@mrs. tictactoe: Me too! I love PF Chang's dumplings so much. I also love how accommodating they are for picky eaters (like my husband!) and food allergies.

The UK isn't great at chain restaurants. We have TGI Fridays, but it's not nearly as good as in the US (not that it's that good there...) I'm super-excited that a branch of Jaime's Italian (a chain place that Jaime Oliver fronts) has just opened here in Manchester! We've got reservations for my first Mother's Day.

@bpcmarj: I don't usually like fish, but they make this lemon butter tilapia that is to die for....oh, and I love that honey butter stuff they have at Longhorn!

Calfornia Pizza Kitchen - they have been very good with our allergies.

Panera - again they have been great with our allergies. They have list of all ingredients.

Chipotle - they have a very clear allergy information on their website and they are super yummy!!!

PF Changs - Super yummy and they also have a fantastic allergy plan. They only have one thing I can eat but they were very clear with it and helpful.

My idea of good restaurants is changing now that I have to challenge them. It is about how helpful and knowledgeable they are on their food and ingredients.

I love Olive Garden and Buffalo Wild Wings. I order the same thing at both places almost everytime and love it.

They are opening a Chipotle soon, so I'm eager to try it.

Olive Garden, I guess? we usually only eat at local mom & pop places, though
