I really try to avoid chain restaurants, but four that I find "acceptable" or even better:

- Houston's (definitely agree with the above)

- Seasons 52 (couldn't believe that Darden owned this)

- Mitchell's Fishhouse (good fresh fish and oyster selection daily)

- Longhorn Steakhouse (I'm going to get nailed for this one, but for a decent steak and side at a good price, I go here about once a month)
