What was I thinking?!
Start with a one hour wait (on a mid-week evening), complemented with no place to sit, and a huge crowd in the foyer. And for what? There is nothing this restaurant serves that doesn’t have a better alternative at a different restaurant within a one mile radius. Given that you’re basically eating food at the lowest common denominator anyway, why waste your time & money here? Try one of the alternatives: Chevy’s, Olive Garden, Fish Market, Black Angus, etc. Ok, I’ll admit that my 5 year old, who wanted to go to Chili’s on his birthday, loved the place. Sigh.
