Oh, and my kids really like the souvenir kids' meal cups. The cups have the measurement in ounces and accolades on the side. My 4-year-old significantly increased his milk intake when we started using those cups at home.

Red Robin (and our church) were the things I was saddest to leave behind when we moved from San Antonio last year.

The free refill on french fries is all I remember (and the seasoning). Haven't been to Red Robin in over 10 years, but I am glad they have kept that tradition.

I've only been to Red Robin once, and that was in Montgomery, AL on the way back from our previous game at Auburn. It was pretty dern tasty, and I wish we had one in Baton Rouge. We did just get a 5 Guys a while back that I haven't tried, but I've heard that's a decent place. I dunno how well it will do though, because the one and only Mugshots from Hattiesburg opened across the street from it, mwahahaha!

We are getting a 5 guys over here in Convington. I am pretty excited. The few times I have eaten there in DC or Baltimore it has been pretty good.

The 5 guys we have here in Frisco is good. If you haven't eaten at one their regular burer is a double so if you want a smaller burger you have order down!!

The fries are killer:icon_wink:

Yeah their fries are good. Everybody here is ready for the in and out burger to open. I am not even going to try and get close to that place the first week or so. It is going to pay for itself in about 9 months.

Cheddar's has been open in WM for several weeks now...maybe two months. I still refuse to go because the wait is over 30 minutes at a decent time of day.

Isn't it amazing that folks will flock to chain serving bland food when we have so many great local eateries? Sheeple!:icon_roll:

Heard the West. Monroe Mohawk shut down. . . . Guess they never to the lighting dimmed right or could get the boxing gloves hanging from the ceiling just right like the original in Monroe.

I have never eaten at the downtown Mohawk but did try the new one once. The menu and food was very average to me. I had no desire to go back.

Your loss. The Monroe store is so much better.

Yeah a 30 minute wait would bother me most days, especially for a chain. On Thurs-Sat nights around here 30 minutes is average though, again wouldn't wait 30 minutes for applebee's etc, but on the weekends there are just too many people over here not to have a wait most places.

It's sad that some of the better mom and pop places over here have been put under by the chains.

I have eaten there quite a few times. Probably approaching how many times I have eaten at the Monroe one. I thought both were pretty decent but neither blew my mind. The one in downtown is somehow a classic part of monroe though.
