One of my absolute favorite resteraunts is the Longhorn Steak House (the one we go to is in Leominster, MA, but I think it's a chain.) They have the best salmon and steak combo dish! I get it every time we go! :blush: And the service is EXCELLENT! The waiters and waitresses are SO friendly! OH, the have the best appetizer too... the Texas Tonion (?sp).... soooo yummy!! :lick: Oooooh.... I'm gettin' hungry! :lol:

As for least favorite... I'll have to think on that...

One of my Favorite Restaurants is Outback Steakhouse (it's a Chain Restuarant). I love there Aussie Cheese Fries (it's an appitizer that has French Fries with Cheese and Bacon on top and you dip it in this Yummy Ranch Dressing). I also love the little loaf of bread they give you (can you tell we eat there to much).


Another one of my Favorite Restaurants is Bennigans (another Chain Restaurant). I always get there Chicken Strips and French Fries (they are Yummy). They also have a Great Kids Menu with very decent prices (kids meal comes with main food, veggie, drink and cookie for $3.99). They also have the Best Dessert called Death by Chocolate (anything with a title like that has to be good). It's chocolate ice cream cake with a frozen chocolate shell and it comes with hot fudge to dip it in. Very Good.

If you're ever in Dallas and want to splurge on a really good steak, I recommend Pappas Bros. Steakhouse. The service was outstanding (I think our waiter had two tables, ours and one other), and the steak was so tender you could cut it with a fork. The dessert I had, called a Moon Pie, was just to die for - chocolate, of course, with homemade marshmallow bits. Mmm, yummy.

And if in New Orleans, I recommend Commander's Palace. Again, excellent service and food that just can't be described. Their bread pudding souffle with whiskey sauce is worth the price of admission. :)

Ruth's Chris is sooo yummy. It's a steakhouse (small chain) but has teh BEST chicken dish. Their Shrimp brochette appitizer is super yummy too :D

A larger chain (currently only in TX) is saltgrass. I LOVE the beer bread and baked potato soup :)

This thread is making me want a steak. :lick:
My favorite is a local place called, Oak Island. They have the best shrimp, scallops and steak that I have ever eaten.

I really like the food at Manny's Uptown Tex Mex in Addision, Texas, but the last time we went, the service was horrendous.:( I haven't been back since.

Oh and Outback steakhouse is one of our favorites! It's where I go when I want to really have a good steak! We don't eat red meat as much as we used to so it's a treat for us to go. Both Jason and I also love their chopped blue cheese salad--yum. :lick:

A new twist on Tex-Mex - Veracruz Cafe (http://www.guidelive.com/portal/page?_pageid=33,97400&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL&item_id=24347) in Cedar Hill, Texas. This is not Tex-Mex. The restaurant bills itself as "Mesoamerican, Mayan, Huasteco and Aztec cuisine", and it is some kind of good. You know when you go eat Tex-Mex, you come out feeling like you've gained ten pounds? Not so with Veracruz. It's a lot lighter than traditional Tex-Mex, and it's oh, so tasty. :lick: The chile relleno is really good, as are the scallops - oh, heck, I've never had anything bad there. There's also a Veracruz in the Dallas Arts District, so if y'all don't feel like driving as far south as Cedar Hill, you might check out that one. :)
