I know chains get a lot of hate on here but I thought my lunch was pretty good. I got the lomein with beef/pork combination and my friend got the pepper steak with steamed rice. Both were pretty solid. My plate was better than some of the local Chinese take out I've had here.

I haven't been there since I lived in Baton Rouge years ago but I might make a few more visits there now since we don't really have any great local Chinese and I know it's pretty decent.

I've only eaten there once, but I enjoyed everything I had. I remember having all apps and one was the dumplings. They were very good. I think I had an egg roll and a few ribs, as well.

My older brother worked there when he was in college. He took me when I was 11 and I thought it was a 5 star restaurant

How much was it? Never eaten at one. Looked at the menu a few times and $16 bucks before tax for Chinese food didn't really interest me.

I believe they have lunch specials

The chicken and shrimp lettuce wrap appetizer is pretty good. I usually get that and Mongolian beef a la carte and get it for under $20.

It's slightly overpriced but you are getting quality restaurant food versus a $5 bowl of who knows what from Chinese Combo King

I like PF Changs. Their seasonal menus generally have some good stuff on them, and they typically have a good selection of wines by the glass.

That would explain my confusion. I don't remember having a drink yet, today...

That reminds me, papa you saw this article in the WSJ couple weeks ago about wine @ chain restaurants? she mentions PF Changs.

there should be a stickied list of F&D acceptable chain restaurants

My dad used to enjoy pf changs, so I went there a couple times a year. I always left satisfied with the meal. Like R2R said it's high for Chinese food but I at least usually enjoyed the food. It's a preferred chain for me.

I also later saw the calorie count of some of the dishes. Wish I Wouldn't have.

PF Changs, Chinese food for people that really don't like Chinese food.

Salty, but decent for what it is.

The only thing I don't like is the greasy floors.

I must be in the minority, but I hate PF Changs. Small portions, huge prices.
