DINNER - Wednesday night

I typically avoid sirloin because they are so **** hit or miss whenever I go to a restaurant. I almost always order a filet instead. Well 2 nights ago a new Carrabba's opened across the street from the Sanford mall. Also found out they are opening a Buffalo Wild Wings and Red Robin there in the next few weeks as well. So I checked out Carrabba's and much to my surprise it was excellent. The sirloin was the best one I've ever had from any restaurant. Also, I sat at the bar and the service was excellent as well. Good to see Sanford finally getting some decent restaurants. They already opened one called Cheddars which has gotten mediocre reviews and Longhorn is opening on the 12th.

And I'm with Mango, presentation needs a lot of work.
Thank the Reptilians that the Wing House is coming to Fort Myers!
**** lame
kz stop promoting their ****, the op reads like a corporate ****
Look here azzhat... I've lived in this area since 98'
--- I hate 90% of chain restaurants and there are very few and far between DECENT places to eat around here. Longhorn SUX (as per my previous thread about them (specifically). Red Robin - I've only ate at twice in my life and both times was a good experience. Cheddars I had never heard of - but only 2 people said if was good / compared to about 10 people who have told me it was horrible service and mediocre food. I have yet to go to any Buffalo Wild Wings and be impressed with food or service - so my expectations are low for them. However I probably will still go there to watch a few playoff games on the big screen and drink a beer once football season gets here.
That being said, aside from the Willow Tree, Fishbones, Liam Fitpatricks, and small handful of others - it's not like Sanford has hardly any restaurants worth a ****. So spare me the "corporate ****" - I don't care if its chain or not, as long as they have good service and good food - consistently. Pretty much NONE of the chain restaurants in the area can achieve that challenge due to the workforce in Sanford. Only locally owned restaurants where the owner (ie. Theo @ Willow Tree) is still directly involved seems to come close to "consistent good" delivery of service and food.
And while I do agree the presentation wasn't great on the Carrabba's dish, the sirloin was great and the service was great. Sadly we know (based on 15 years in the area), that it will most likely decline by the 3 month mark. Until then, I'll eat there and keep giving them corporate ****'s -- in return for a great sirloin and a pretty decent glass of house cab.
I'll eagerly stand by and await your recommendation on some "good restaurants" in Sanford.
You guys forget to take your meds?
Nice work Pup.
Me too. A pile of tasteless overpriced and poorly cooked [email protected]
Shrimpfest is always good at Red Lobster. All you can eat for $15.
I am in.
You can get the same shrimp at the grocery store frozen foods section. Singleton's imported Chinese crap!

Many, many times at the placida tressel before I had a boat.
But when I go to Red Lobster for Shrimp Fest, they cook them many different ways for me and I eat 200-300.
I cooked up some GA deer in the spaghetti pot last night....spinach salad on the side and a glass of merlot to get wifey in mood. :grin
I've probably seen you there quite a few times. Weston's dock is killer.
Don't let it happen again.
