Um, it's called a fridge.

What a swell idea. Maybe I'll add one of those as well in place of the current irony-alert meter displayed for unwary guests. :p

Does your family treat you the same way? If so, they lived up to their advertising promise!

^ I had to read this a few times before I recalled the OG slogan . . .

So, the answer is No. (thank goodness!) :D

The scariest part about this thread is that there was more than one, and they had to be merged! :eek:

I guess the populous here loves bad "Italian" chain-restaurant food. Are they as Italian as the Outback Restaurants are "Australian"?

Do you have to eat there to know? I can proudly say I have not eaten at an OG my entire adult life :D

You have no idea how fortunate you are.

For me, my elderly parents love to go to OG when they visit us. But, their standards are somewhat skewed. When we lived in Washington DC, they insisted on going to Bob's Big Boy. No matter where we live, they want to go to Denny's and take advantage of their senior discount. :rolleyes:

Seems ok when we visit.. probably the once a year.

Not a bad restaurant here in YYC.. I wonder why we don't go there more often?:eek:

The soup, salad and breadsticks are fine, it's the entrees I can't stomach as they are far too salty for my taste.

Ya know.. maybe its picking the multi-combo meals that may be a problem..

We ate at OG in HOU by the Space Center because my wife has been bugging me for years why we don't eat there more often.. she likes OG..

So we're driving back to the hotel and my son up-chucks like 7 times.. and we spent an hour and half cleaning out the back seat..

We ended up never get the smell out.. it was odorous reminder for the balance of our 5 night layover in Houston.:D

My grandparents always wanted me to take them to OG. I don't think I've been back since they passed away.

Between describing the place as impressive, that she's reviewed KFC and Subway.


"The place is impressive. It’s fashioned in Tuscan farmhouse style with a welcoming entryway. There is seating for those who are waiting.”
