The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

[wavycrocket]

I like the Cheesecake Factory. People love to turn thier noses up at franchise restaurants but to each their own.

I won $50 to Olive Garden at a raffle last year. Took me and my lady out! We had a good *** time . Was nostalgic

Red lobster, for my 18th birthday, was fine dining. These new lil restaurants are cool, but the chain held it down for a min. Shoutout to Outback. Better than Ruth Criths. Texas longhorn too. And shoutout to Bahama Beeeze. Wasn’t nothing carribean about the food for real, but good vibes

I used to go to happy hour at Bahama Breeze in ATL, was surprisingly live …Good value, wings and drinks never missed, the chicks enjoyed it

 

[frshstunna]

Shoutout Applebees and Fridays round the way too, used to be a good times in there as well

Rainforest Cafe in Towson used to trip me out

Good ol days. Bring back more chains!!

Cheesecake Factory is the Taylor Swift of restaurants.

NikeTalk really isn't trying to let me live this week

 

[frshstunna]

Rainforest Cafe always made me uneasy…It was dark and had too much going on in there, plus the food wasn’t memorable

The chains still going strong B Sox ….They just off the radar unless you a tourist or deep in the burbs/middle of nowhere now

Cheesecake Factory was our go to for birthdays coming out of HS lol

Don’t think I’ve ever been to Olive Garden tho

 

[CJMcfly26]

think I rather go to Dallas BBQs than Cheesecake Factory, at least I can get the Texas size drink.

It’s a cool setting for kids, but Rainforest Cafe had the worst food of any chain restaurant I’ve even been to in my life. LOL.

Guess they had to offset all the cost they put into a aquarium maintenance and animatronic animals against something and it was pretty clear the food was an area where they went cheap.

They have a great, unhealthy Caesar salad. Waiters be showing luv. Get you a whine bottle like $15 dollars, and a lil meal, and you Gucci!

I can’t even remember the food honestly . But I remember it being terrible.

This **** crazy. All them damn animatronics

Cheesecake Factory is good. Their menu got everything.

Bahama Breeze

That happy hour hit

 

[Mister Meaner]

Red Lobster would still be hitting if I could eat like a normal person again. Grew up on that & even more better seafood spots on City Island.

Had CF one time and it clearly didn’t leave an impression. Menu was dumb big tho so I knew it wasn’t a good sign headed into the game.

Man, I remember that joint on the second floor of Towson Town Mall by the exit towards Dulaney Valley Road (essentially where the Cheesecake Factory is now). I guess they went through another evolution and shut that luxury wing down due to COVID but half the first floor is like restaurants now. They got a damn brewery where the Downtown Locker Room used to be. I guess it’s still commercial as hell but now in a family oriented, man of the people sort of way

Oh yeah and I remember that Bahama Breeze there too back in the day but that’s gone now too. End of an era

It is a cool restaurant but the DOJ needs to sue them for their marketing and colonization of my culture

When I was in my grad program the department took all the students there for an end-of-semester lunch.

One of my professors looked at me and said "Must be cool to be eating authentic food for your island again, huh?" with a big smile.

I wanted to slap the **** outta dude with my fingertips

That way he doesn't get hurt, but he knows it happened.

 

[antidope]

Just went to the food truck got some jerk pork.

 

[p0tat0 5alad]

I grew up on chains but besides the occasional fast food joint I can’t do it now. My dad fly out for a weekend with my brother and I in Atlanta and he just wanted to eat at chains. And not even ones that are atleast regional, places he can go to back home

 

[dacomeup]

Hmmmm idk bout this…You hear more from folks in Montana or Indiana complaining about “liberal hell holes” on the coasts and blue states these days than anything else

Also, Cheesecake Factory is average on its best day…My moms had a phase where PF/cheesecake type spots was her go to restaurants and I dreaded anytime she wanted to go out to eat

I meant on this board . The conservative machine more nationally though I definitely agree with though. But even those conservative people visit LA, NY etc.

I had a boss who was obsessed with Soup Plantation. He would take the whole mkt department to lunch once a month and it was always SP. I went for the free food and 2 hour lunch.

any time i have a bad rec league game, i’ll watch this clip to help myself feel better

..hate that it had to be my guy JB tho

Do you have a repeat option on your phone

 

[RustyShackleford]

Nandos is the best chain restaurant out. Unfortunately they are not widespread

I love that place

I only get to get there when I come back to MD, there are none in Vegas. They need to put one in every city.

Catch me downtown Silver Spring acting the damn fool over some Peri-Peri...

Most of the menu at Olive Garden is terrible, even the breadsticks.

The soups and salads are about the only things they don't mess up.
