Ate at Red Robin for the first time. The food was good, but the ambiance was like eating in Guy Fieri's jockstrap.

Only thing that would have made me more uncomfortable would have been Smashmouth playing over the speakers.
I like Red Robin but they annoy me in that they advertise 'bottomless fries', yet it's almost impossible to flag your waiter down to get them once you get your burgers. <_<

About half of it.  It was just going to get trashed if I didn't.  I bought too much, it was too greasy, and while the shrimp and chicken were fine, the beef was leathery and kind of gross.

Oh, I know.  Just commenting the "beef" you get at those places.  Which isn't always better than the "chicken".

In my experience it's actually not bad at Panda Express, but that's definitely the exception as far as Chinese places go.

I've stopped getting chicken dishes at Chinese carry outs.  The way they hack up the little wok-ready bits always leaves some nasty tendons and shit.

Huh, my waitress was all over my table. And the church crowd was starting to pack the place.

Maybe it's you.

Yeah, they've always been pretty good at mine.  Love Red Robin, wish it were closer, I'd eat there like four times a week. :mmm:

My experience matches Cal's, now that I think of it.  Not that I *need* those extra fries, mind you.
