Was convinced to go to Abuelo's when I arrived at XNA the other
evening - had a quite decent meal at a pretty decent price (for a
chain). Beers were kind of expensive though.

I must agree, I love their hot bread. My friends and I have always called it 'poo poo' bread
and whenever we go to Outback Steakhouse I look forward to the bread... the honey butter is delicous as well!

Legal Seafood!!! Had it for the first time in Boston and it was great. Up until then I did not enjoy seafood and with the exception of Legal Seafood I guess I still do not really like seafood. They really are THAT WONDERFUL. Must try the seaweed salad! Drinks can be a little high; but overall it is well worth it for the money.

Suprisingly good! Steak was good to very good, ribs were very good to excellent.
Reasonably priced, too.

I still like Applebee's--I was in a restaurant today at ONT on my way to SEA. I had a great meal--delicious chicken salad!

Mrs. Cyberdad and I have yet to be disappointed. Also on the subject of steakhouses....I'd agree with Texas Roadhouse belonging on the list of good places. DSM, indeed has a good one...as does MEM and JAN. I'd also include their similar competitor, Logan's, as a good chain.
