They have recently addressed that issue, and Dingo's now has a happy hour 4-7 PM, $2 off all draft pints, and $5 burgers.

Doesn't make my chicken curry any cheaper, but you can't win them all.

Nope, because you actually get a great meal there. Thats my problem with Sullivans. It costs the same as Ruths and Flemings and they dont even serve Prime beef. The best thing at Sullivans is the bread and salad. I think Ginos is priced fine. You can order pasta for 13 or 14 dollars or you can go with a steak or lamb for 30 dollars.

While not necessarily expensive, George's is way overpriced.

Australian restaurant on Coursey @ Sherwood.

I was happy with my meal, and the owner is incredibly friendly and a good host, but the food struck me as being pricey for the quantity/quality (particularly the paninis).

I loved the pumpkin soup, though.

First time I went they never even brought the bread.. And you pay what 8 dollars for that salad? 9 dollars for a baked potato so somewhere around that is rediculous. Sullivans is barely a step above Texas Road house in steak quality as well. The service is actually better in most cases at Texas Road house.

BTW Texas De Brazil without a coupon should be mentioned. Also the fish specials at Little Village are overpriced for the most part.

Happened to my dad and I a few months back. He got a burger and I got the chicken finger basket, I think we each had 1 beer and the meal was about 30 bucks.

for basically nothing ... you can really apply this to pretty much any eatery in BR now ... you are just not going to get out of there for under 30 bucks for two people anywhere ... the problem is that unless you are feeding a big family .. you're really not saving that much money eating at home ..

I seem to remember having them ask if I wanted it, and not mentioning that it's extra.
