When I was a teenager and first got my drivers license, we would drive from Hammond to the one in BR all the time. Sometimes like a dozen or so friends would go! Apparently I had no taste buds at 16. This was around 2000ish.

No, probably not. What was your favorite hot pocket?

Amen to this!
Watch out- I bought red fish filets yesterday packaged with a gulf coast company’s name assuming it was gulf caught. They went so far as to put an American flag on the package! Got home and saw first ingredient was “redfish (China)”. Wasn’t indicated anywhere else. Bastards.

When it first opened , the corporate trainer staff were all there and it was quite entertaining and decent.

A bit later, it was so bad, the kids wouldn’t eat the hot dogs. They just played in the playground.

Haven’t been back in a long long time.

That was such a simpler time, back then.

I went to Ohio once for work and they brought me to Bubba Gump Shrimp Co

I went to the Joe's crab shack once with a church group from Georgia

I stopped at red lobster with a friend's grandmother driving through Jackson, MS and having no idea where to go but wanting to take her somewhere nicer than fast food. That was damn near inedible.

Used to go a lot. But over time, service and food quality had dropped like a rock.
I always laugh when I’m in Destin and see their parking lot full. What are these people thinking ?

So let me make sure I understand. You think a restaurant that is part of a group, that is owned by a family with *known* organized crime connections in Galveston and vegas may possibly be a money laundering front or "legitimate" business for a money laundering scheme.

Gee professor. Any other theories?

Haven’t been to one in 17 years. frick those kind of places. This especially applies if you live in an area that has access to fresh local seafood


True. If living in a city like N.O., why would you go eat at a chain seafood restaurant when there are so many local restaurants that serve much better food.

This is a bullshite statement, and you know it. Is it a frozen seafood box chain? Yes. Is it good? Not really. Is it often packed? Yep.

I used to go often when my kid, nieces, nephews, and friend's kids were young. Every time it was busy. Often we had to wait. Why? Kids.

In the past 2 or 3 years I have gone 5-7 times for birthday parties. Packed each time.

It's a popular box chain, baw. I don't ever choose it, but many do.
