Not a fan of Changs. Too much money for too little food.
The goat of chain restaurants is clearly Carrabas.

Bonefish. - not a bad place at all, never had a bad thing there
Cheesecake Factory - actually pretty darn good all around
Copeland's - just a personal favorite of mine.

I'm not putting Krystal Burger in there 
I'm talking about sober food you can eat for dinner
And I just put Changs because it's what inspired the thread. Places that get the most recognition I'll keep in there

Ruth's Chris of course

Chick-fil-a, popeyes, and sonic burgers for fast food.
Posted on 9/12/14 at 8:15 pm to Big Moe
I'm a fan of basic healthy protein, veggie, and rice meals, so I would add Zoe's Kitchen and Boneheads (piri piri chicken and fish) to the list.
Smashburger makes a good chicken sandwich and burger in the 5 guys price range that is pretty good.

Love me some SmashBurger. I'll add M Burger but I doubt many on here have had it. Basically In N Out with more options

All solid choices. I have had mostly good experiences at all of them. I have also been pleased with the BJ's Brewhouse in Clear Lake, TX. I know it doesn't rate that well in BR but I suspect it is more due to poor management than anything else. We have never had a bad experience at ours.

Is Houston's still open on St Charles? Always thought that was a solid place for reasonably priced lunch fare.
Posted on 9/12/14 at 8:28 pm to Ric Flair
I like Houston's, haven't been in years. I'll add it
