<p>vu, you must really love your cheap eats :P</p>
<p>wow seems like most of you live on east coast, as i have never heard of many of these places</p>
<p>I'm with ubercool on this,
Olive Garden's salad, breadsticks, and just about everything are pretty darn sabrosos.
Red Lobster's shrimp and lobsters are good as well as their buttery buttery biscuits.</p>
<p>Probably not too many people will have heard of this, but Todai. It's a Japanese buffet type restaurant with realllly good food and wide selection ranging from Lobster to sushi to crepes to whatever</p>
<p>I live in the midwest, so we don't have most of the places you've mentioned. However, I like Ruby Tuesday's, Olive Garden, and Chipotle (we don't have one in my hometown, but I've eaten at them before).</p>
<p>east buffet, whether its in nyc or long island</p>
<p>Alot of people like Chipotle, i never heard of them b4. guess there not common around here, nj</p>
<p>I think Chipotle is highly overrated. Baha Fresh is much better.</p>
<p>Local stuff. There's a little Chinese restaurant in the city centre that does the best fast food ever. :)</p>
<p>michelec, there aren't many, if any, in Jersey. However, I do know of at least one in the city.</p>
<p>Just checked the site and nope, there aren't any in Jersey. There are a few in the city though.</p>
<p>OMG "red06", I'm pretty sure it's different, but is this the same east buffet in SD? It has so much seafood for only 12 bucks a pop.</p>
<p>Haha...we don't have a single one of those restaurants where I live.</p>
<p>My favorites are:
Maggiano's Little Italy (bit on the expensive side though for steak)
The Englander (A little pub/restaurant we have here)
Applebees</p>
<p>My favorite restaurant is Dave and Buster's. I had my 16th birthday party there...I like Applebee's and Outback Steakhouse too.</p>
<p>Kyt - Maggiano's is one of my favorites too for sure. Forgot about that one!</p>
<p>Ugh. I had Olive Garden twice in my life, all within the last month.</p>
<p>Breadsticks = good. Everything else = EHHHH. I thought it was poor-mediocre quality.</p>
<p>I like sandwich places. I like (not love) Panera Bread, but I went to a Java place that I most likely will never visit again that was much better. Their food is to DIE for.</p>
<p>My favorite restaurant is Soong Thai, which is this classy--and gorgeous--Thai restaurant.</p>
<p>I love random Mexican digs as well. Mexican food is the best cuisine ever, as unhealthy and sometimes un-classy as it is.</p>
<p>i love maggiano's
chipotle > baja fresh, but neither are that spectacular.
cheesecake factory is good too.</p>
<p>but, my favorite restaurant is definately the melting pot. yummy delicious fondue. i love it! anyone that hasnt been should try it!!</p>
<p>green papaya is also delicious, but i believe its just local.</p>
<p>chipotle and baja fresh are sort of different, i like chipotle for what it is, straight and to the point, great for the amount and the cost. nobody can convince me otherwise</p>
