Applebees is the worst one I got. I even got a couple to fast food joints but I rank them higher than Applebees. My wife and I used it last night. Its pretty rare that my wife and I go into a restaurant thinking, "Well, lets get this over with."

That is hard to beat, although I have been places where an Applebee's is an oasis of gourmet treats. My worst was Cane's, no healthy choices there, I regifted it.

I'm not a fan of the place. But if it was really that bad, you wouldn't have gone.

If it was free what difference does it make? What happened to "it's the thought that counts?"

If it is so bad why didn't you just hand it back and say "this restaurant sucks so you just keep it."

Way to try to call me out doucher. We got an app that wasn't very good. 2 burgers that were ok and a couple beers. If I want a burger, there are other places I would want to go. We went because it was free. Now shut it and go away.

It is the thought that counts. Thats why I accepted it and said thank you.

Have you honestly never gotten a gift or gift card that you weren't excited about?

I got a $20 Gift Card to Fernandos in Denham Springs. I bet nobody can match that.

C'mon Martini, these are not usually from Aunt Hazel, usually from vendors scoring points. I appreciate the idea, so it is my duty to get them in the hands of someone who wants it. So I regift it to a 20 something who is about as discriminating as I was at that age, meaning not at all.

Agree. I gave it to my younger brother. I hate that place. It always smells to enticing, but I know better than to make my tummy feel the pain that comes after I eat Cane's.

Fernandos is better than Chilis and better than applebees. While it's not the best mexican restaurant, it's definitely not the worst on this thread.

I’m not too pretentious that I’d be mad at a “free meal” I’d get from anywhere except for Cuco’s in houma and Bubba’s On The Bayou in Thib. I will eat at neither of these places again and always, when given the chance, try to persuade others from eating there as well…

So are arse whippings. If you know you're going to get one at a particular bar, are you still going to go?
