This nationwide chain is sometimes hit or miss depending on the service or the food. I've gone there over and over again and had a wonderful experience. There are definitely other better places to go.

If you're in the mood for burgers, this is the place. Tons of different burgers to choose from and their fries are really good. You have to have an appetite to come here 'cause you will get a LOT of food!

Good place to hang out and relax. Lots of menu choices from pastas to sandwiches. Very reasonable on the price, as well.

Great place for casual Tex-Mex food. They have everything - burritos, tacos, quesadillas, nachos...and it's all great!

Good place to get a pretty inexpensive yet filling lunch. Watch out for the lunch crowds around noon, though.

Like all the Outback chains, this one has good food, pretty consistent service. They've updated their menu to include some low-fat/veggie dishes - YUM!

If you're looking for true NY style Italian - this is not it! This chain lures you in with beautiful decor - but the food doesn't live up to the reputation. Be prepared to wait for a table on weekends - the place does all right despite the taste.

An Olive Garden is an Olive Garden is an Olive Garden. These are the same no matter what state you go to. They've discontinued a lot of their staple dishes and are trying to be more "creative". If you're a fan of the Cannelloni - the original version is long gone.

Beyond Wonderful! Every experience here is top notch. The service staff is attentive and knowledgeable and the food is to die for! Expect to wait nearly every night of the week if you don't have a reservation.

Battling it out for the best fast casual Mexican food are Chipotle and Qdoba. Chipotle is a little worse in their ingredients. Their meats are sometime more fatty and the sauces not quite as good as Qdoba.

Pretty good ice cream and a nice variety of mix-ins. Who cares if the workers suddenly burst into song - that's what makes it fun.

The Sunday Brunch at the Brown Palace is decadent. Sure it costs a lot more than regular Brunch - but the dessert table alone is worth it. Go on the self-guided walking tour afterwards to know more about the history of this hotel.

This gem sits in a strip mall, but it's very much not a strip mall type of restaurant. The food is exquisite and the service is excellent. The seafood dishes are to die for as are the desserts.

New York style pasta dishes are pretty true to the originals. Many entrees are served family style. Be prepared to eat a lot as the regular portions are huge as well. An excellent wine list tops of the meal perfectly.

Pretty good sushi here. The restaurant is sometime really crowded so if you're uncomfortable hearing what the tables around you are talking about - maybe get takeout.

One of the few chain Italian restaurants that has managed to stay consistent over the years. With the addition of the make your own pasta (my personal fav) their menu has a ton of choices for the most picky eaters.

Not bad selection and great choice of sauces. Usually large portions - a good lunch choice if you oan find a place to park!

Great Italian food in this out-of-the-way Union Station location. Pastas are wonderfully prepared and the wine selection is sure to please.

Not a bad place for American-syle cuisine. A SLU favorite - it's great for a good lunch.

The legendary SLU bar is still on top after so many years. Cold beers, great food and friendly-staff makes a great place to hang out or catch a game. The outdoor beer garden makes the summer nights fun. Try the mini tacos appetizers - they're wonderful!
