These Locations May Be Listed In Programs Other Than Just AAdvantage Dining
BENNIGAN'S
http://aa.rewardsnetwork.com/promo.j...fid%3d14600060
STEAK & ALE
http://aa.rewardsnetwork.com/promo.j...fid%3d14600056
PONDEROSA
http://aa.rewardsnetwork.com/promo.j...fid%3d14600058
NOTE: THE ABOVE LOCATIONS MUST BE THOSE THAT SELL/ACCEPT GIFT CARDS.
I just checked Southern NJ for a Bennigans and there was one, although NJ is not listed as having a location at all on the Bennigan's "map" drop-down menu for the link listed above.
It would seem that the restaurants listed by the link provided above, are just a sub-set of the universe of Benigan's restaurants that participate via IDINE.
Therefore, still check the area you will be dining in to see if there is a participating restaurant for one of the chains listed above, even if you don't see one listed via any of the links provided above.

East Side Mario's - Toronto area
The Brampton location of this chain does not offer gift cards, but the Bowmanville location (just east of Toronto) does. Plus, they have a special now that for every $25 gift card you buy, you get a very nice mug (and matching ceramic spoon). Heck of a deal. I just bought $150 of gift cards today while the earning is still good (15 miles/$ spent)!

Web Travel Guide has a list of chain restaurants that might be helpful:
http://webtravelguide.com/restaurants-chain-main.html
As of Feb 2008, the various brands under the Paragon Steakhouse umbrella have vanished from idine, as JDiver reports: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=785841
ATM, there is a search on the aa.rewardsnetwork.com home page for restaurants in the Bennigans, Steak and Ale, and Ponderosa chains. When you click it, you also see locations of other brands such as Plano Taverns. These all are part of Metromedia Restaurant Group, as are 29 degree Taverns, Southlake Taverns and Bonanza steakhouses. A gift card ordered on line is good at any of these locations, no matter what brand's logo is on it. I do not know if the same is true of one bought at a location. Would have to read the find print on such a card to see.

Baja Fresh and IHOP
Looks like many, but not all, Baja Fresh locations in the DC, Baltimore and suburban DC area participate as of Friday, Feb. 22. Baja Fresh website sez stores sell GCs so we"ll see.
Also, some but not all DC area IHOPs now participate. Have purchased and used GCs successfully.

Ollies Trolley on DC near the White House has appeared on rewards network. I do not know how many other locations there are, or even if gift certs are available. (A web search for an Ollies Trolley home page turned up nothing but a bunch of spoof sites that tried to download to my PC what purported to be ant-virus software.)

In Orlando last week:
- Melting Pot (I was alone on business, so I didn't go, but it's on the site)
- Quizno's on South Conway Rd -- only about 10 minutes from MCO, so very convenient if you're returning a rental car

another hidden chain
Mainstreet Ventures
www.msventures.com
Various restaurants that accept same gift card, despite having different names and different cuisines.
As of this writing, I see two iDine participants in Annapolis and two in Charleston, WV.
Edited to add: some of the other locations could be participants, too, I did not check all of them.

(The last post was less than 2 years ago, so I think it's OK to bump this existing thread) 
Four Macaroni Grill locations in the South Florida area have just been added to the AA Rewards Network list (specific areas are Plantation, Pembroke Pines, Boca Raton and Doral).
