I love Carrabbas. I take my girlfriend there a good bit. That place is hard to beat but it is overpriced. But still good...and they give you a ton of food. Other people I have met dont like it. I dont get the pasta or anything...i get the Pollo Rosa Maria or the Chicken Marsala. those are great

We have some great chain restaurants here: PF Changs, Claim Jumper, Outback, Macaroni Grill (they sing opera to you there), and of course the staples like TGI Fridays, Chilis and Applebees. (Actually we just started getting Applebees within the last few years).

Carrabba's is upscale Italian. P.F. Chang's is oriental fusion cuisine. I have seen Carraba's in smaller towns, but Changs is a mostly upscale suburban phenomenon.
My favorite chain is Romano's Macaroni Grill - great bread, who needs appetizers? Another favorite is Charleston's. Fantastic spinach/artichoke dip and chicken tenders and lots of fresh fish daily.

My family loves the Old Country Buffet, unfortunately the nearest one is 2 1/2 hours away. We also like the Prime Sirloin Buffet which is similar but only an hour away. Buffets are best for our family since everyone seems to like something different and agreeing on where we want to eat is sometimes difficult.

For Prime Rib you can't beat Lawry's. I don't know if that counts as a chain because I only know of two locations. It is the same company as the seasoning salt but don't be misled by the inexpensiveness of the salt. You pretty much need to take out a second mortgage on your house to eat there.

How funny to have a restaurant named California Dreaming. I am here in California, and can't imagine that we have food good enough to name a restaurant after! Hahaha!
