Crappy wanna-be-trendy restaurants native to your area?
Perhaps it's not native to my area - but Milestones. As well it's national, but "Eastside Marios" really sucks ass.

1. Conway's Red Top
They have several locations in Colorado Springs, and opened one in Pueblo last year. Their trademark is a burger that's about eight inches in diameter. I ate there once, when my son and his best friend came out for a visit - the burgers had absolutely no flavor whatsoever.

Later that year, when my daughter and her then-husband came out for a visit, I took them to Sonic. Much better burgers, IMHO.

2. We seem to be a few years behind the chain-curve
We recently got a Melting Pot and a Maggiano's. We're getting the mother of them all -- a Cheesecake Factory -- soon.

I prefer the local food, even the local chains. Milwaukee's a good restaurant city if you know where to look. We've got a little bit of everything.

6. The Applebees in Round Rock sucks.
Expensive, you don't get a lot, and not that tasty either.

7. Sidney's Woodbury Grill
Food tastes good (B+) but looks like prepackaged stuff, you know: McQuality... it's not worth the hefty prices they charge. And the owners are not the type of people I care for... True neocon personalities. :puke:
