I'd rather go down a level, and get a nice Pita Pit. Who doesn't love a pita in the pit?

Dave & Buster's cause it's fun (even though I've never been to one). Olive Garden is my fave to eat at based on venue, quality / amount of food and price. Using the same criterion, Outback Steakhose is at the BOTTOM of my list - those places are a ripoff :evil:

Just curious....as IHOP is there, shouldn't we include the Denny's and Shari's of the world? And didn't Boston market go banko? I know they all closed around here years ago......

You really do live in a hole.

I prefer the term "in the sticks".

There's a sizzler between Koolbak's house and here, my family stopped in after our kids ate a couple of buckets of Kool's blue berries.

A rather large homless looking guy came in, I was certain just to use the restroom. When he eventually came out of there, his wife asked if he was going to the salad bar he said "You can get it for me." and I quote the second part often, "You know how I like my salad!"

They go through fruit like that all the time. No noticable side affects.

Blue berries were allways a favorite. We used cloth diapers more on the first one since we had her out numbered at the time. The ones that had been subject to blue berries were a new colour.

LOL... I am not familiar with all of those, but even Red Lobster is not precisely "ritsy".

I chose Olive Garden because they have a fair variety. (I have heard of rainforest cafe, but never been to one. Never even heard of Senior Frog or Busters. Hooters is definitely not of my taste. Applebees and Outback both have terrible food. Its edible, but that's about it).

I would have added in Cracker Barrel, Howard Johnsons and yeah.. sizzler, though not sure I would have voted for them.

We don't have any here so, Mrs. dimes can spot them let me tell you. Boy Howdy do I ever wish the trail was so straight between our shack and Koolio's!

*assumes Dimey be talking to me*

I been to Whitefish Montana or thereabouts.....spent a long weekend at Big Mountain...oh....20 years ago. I remember most of it.......woke up one morning with a new tshirt that said "Lube Your Tube at the Stube"...I assume I got it from the bar there called the BierStube :lol:

Why do you ask, 2 Dimes rubbing?

In high school the BierStube was one of those magic places where all the coolest skiers had been.
I don't call you "Saxi" often but when I do...

Why do you ask..

Mostly because the closest Sizzler to Mrs. dimes is in Kalispell. Whitefish's closest city.

Buffalo Wild Wings is actually taking over quite a few of their markets.

But I would vote for Genghis Grill which is mongolian barbeque and not listed

commuting to the US to work 32 hours a week is not appealing for any of those options.

are there no casual dining restaurants elsewhere in the world?

The Olive Garden is the best...I've only been there twice, but both times the food, atmosphere, and service were awesome.

Mexicans go to Senor Frogs to pickup your drunk daughters in Spring Break. Had a friend from Sweeden (probably Gillipig's sister) who had a resolution to get fucked by a Mexican. Since she was friends with my gf I was not in play, and she ended up fucking an ugly Mexican, I still remember her coming back to our hotel room at like 3 am with a limp. Sometimes I share too much.

I was thinking more of something like Pollo Loco.

EDIT: Relevant because she met that ugly guy at Senor Frogs.
