This is a chain. Surely you've been there. You haven't? OK you walk into a nice stone foyer. It feels good and the greeter is amicable. Then you are brought into the restaurant for seating, and you go either left or right. To the right is a massive seating area , a decent bar space, and several exits to an outdoor area. To the left is an even far more massive seating area. Room for hundreds of gluttons. It's not that each area doesn't feel private....it's just MASSIVE. There's seating and people everywhere! The booths don't seat the average person, they are made for professional eaters. Kids are visibly uncomfortable in the overly spacious booths (arenas). The food selection is MASSIVE. The portions are MASSIVE. I love food and I like to eat it with gusto. I've been here 4 times and each time, my ""doggie bag"" has lasted me two more meals. What are they doing with the extra portions that people don't eat and leave there? I've seen the recently vacated tables....tons of food left there.\r

The food is average, really. There is nothing at all special about it. You can get this food anywhere and you could cook it at home if you cared to take the time. While it is true that I have enjoyed the fish and chips there, tasty really, I certainly couldn't finish it and there was 2/3 a plate of fries left over that my heart was pre-palpitating over. The menu is overwhelming, the largest I've seen anywhere and it takes **way too long** to go through when you're also trying to hang out with company or settle the kids. The drinks are overpriced. Also, it occurred to me the other day that I have never had a dessert there. I wonder why?? bloat.\r
Pros: lots of food, enough for everyone.
Cons: mediocre quality, hangout for American Consumerists
