Last Friday we went into Yardhouse for lunch, there was a 25 minute wait, so our daughter dragged us to Chili's.  They've kind of upped their game since I had been, it was good and the prices were less for a burger, fries, a salad or unending chips and salsa than it would have been for a combo deal burger at Wendy's.

The screamin' deal at Yardhouse is happy hour from 3-6, so we would have missed that anyway.  But I have enjoyed half-price apps and $2 off pints on several occasions.  I've been to them in Phoenix (where the guy that tackled the Jayhawk mascot from the stands in Bramlage and I worked construction with in the summer of 1992 was the manager), Tampa, Naples, Vegas, and Kansas City.

Yeah I don't like Arby's fries.  That's one of the place I'll completely skip them.  Not that I eat at Arby's more than once every 3 or 4 years.

We don't have Portillo's.

I don't recall the fries at Culver's.  I'm sure I saw crinkle cuts and skipped them per usual.

I had some good fries with my broasted wings a few minutes ago - not crinkles cut

the broasted wings were awesome - the budweisers were also awesome

We went to a Chili's recently too, as a backup.

I was impressed with the quality of the burger, and the price.

went to a Chili's a month or so ago with a client - our first choice restaurant wasn't open for lunch on Monday
hadn't been there in a decade or so, daughters used to like it.

not impressed but it was OK.

huge menu so everyone can find something they like.

My brother-in-law fed me pan-seared filet with bleu cheese cream sauce and roasted brussel sprouts a while back.  Keto and fantastic.  May have to re-visit that meal soon.

Sounds like what I'm doing with the steak.

No sprouts. Gross. Aspergrass is where I'm headed.

So, the Grand Marlin was packed, on a Monday, we had a 7 PM reservation, waited around to be seated until 7:20.  I was one minute from leaving.  Had a  nice table, service was slow, food was OK, bill after tip $180 for two, with an OK wine.  Fancy is not always the best.

We went across the street the next day for lunch to a place called Flounders, was very good, better good than above, huge portions, very laid back decor and style, good service, vodka drinks were $5.  No kidding, the next day $4.  They had some gals working on beach volleyball who were ... attractive.  Nice little bar out back overlooking the sound.  Overall very good.  Somehow I left my credit card there Tuesday at lunch, discovered it missing Wednesday and went through "Where did I use it last?".

Amex has a nice web site, I went back to Flounders and indeed they had it, left a sawbuck for the server who turned it in.  Hope she got it.
