It was a joke. I just didn't know if anyone would really get it.
I understand running a restaurant is very hit or miss and the margins make it a do or die business but

Once again, please point out where I said that Outback was "better" than Flemings. I never said that, and if given a choice, I'd obviously choose Flemings. Not to mention I provided an entire list of restaurants I don't feel are overrated. All you're doing is embarrassing yourself with your lack of reading ability and know-it-all attitude. Did you really just insult somebody by calling him a noob?

You're kinda lacking in the reading comprehension department, aren't you?

Damn bro, relax... I managed at a Pizza Hut, Canes, and Chilis back in my 20s... quite a resume, I know.

No sweat. Just wanted an answer. Posted on 5/24/14 at 10:57 pm to OTIS2
No problem -- sorry it took so long to respond, I was just finishing my leftovers from Outback

If you really need good feed back, I can help. Customers don't just judge your restaurant, they judge your restaurant relative to the competition. By analyzing your restaurant and your strongest direct competitors, I can tell you exactly where you stand in the eyes of your customers and why. It can be done in a non-invasive way, without bothering you, your customers or your employees. I don't need to ask people questions. I make observations based on experience and an understanding of what makes restaurants successful.

It's tuff to be a mediocre restaurant on the F&DB. We all cook. We all push what's acceptable. It just sucks that +95% of the restaurants do a sub mediocre job. We accept it, bc it's where we live. It doesn't mean our expectations should be lowered

I disagree on some of the restaurants named. People have different personal tastes and expectations. All restaurants are not equal and should be rated for what they are.

youre also the guy that thought that most of the food at bistro byronz was premade from sysco and they just heated up their dishes. (btw you never owned up to that bullshite statement)
plenty of places put out good food and are very much applauded on here.

God I miss the overly corporate food scene of Baton Rouge lol. Not really, houston is pretty awesome on the foodie options. However I support local well before corporate. On a steakhouse name, I will take Ruth's, Sullivan's, and outback over Flemings any day if I'm the one paying. My last experience made my non foodie gf wanting. I seriously don't understand the hype and never will but am welcome to go there on someone else's tab. Honestly I think Sullivan's makes a much better steak. Outside of that, fine dining local in the city is all good in my book (truly no "fine" chefs tasting options but u get my point.) Ruffinos, Gino's, my former watering hole of Mansurs, jubans, beau, maison lacour, houmas house all hold a special place with me. Stroubes is a big meh in my book and has never impressed with a single thing offered especially for the price. Take it as you may, my opinion is mine but even with good service at Flemings I've never found myself having a good meal.

Sullivan's is pretty expensive for choice steaks

You're not at Mansur's any longer?
Where are you?

I like the "au poivre" heavy peppercorn of Sullivan's. Prime or not, I've never found Flemings to be worth the price and I've always had a more enjoyable time and better food at Sullivan's.
Gris I've taken a beverage director position at a fabulous restaurant in houston, and consistently voted as one of the top here even though it's been open less than 2 years. There's some big accolades to the place even with its young appeal. U can email my screen name at yahoo and I'll give u more info.

I'd say the food at City Cafe is a tad bit overrated. You'd think a place like that could make edible shrimp n grits along with crawfish étouffée, but they can't. Squeaky and staff are terrific people and the atmosphere and the patio are great. I just wish they'd adjust their menu some (for me only lol) and learn how to make a fricking étouffée.
