I like steak and shrimp about equally. So food genre's aside, which restaurant is better? Is Red Lobster more expensive? I need quick input.

thx dudes
 
Red Lobster because their garlic cheese dinner rolls are fucking amazing.

Outback because the Awesome Blossom is fucking amazing.
 
Outback for the FN win. If they didn't have the biscuits at Red Lobster that place would suck balls.

Hmmm.... Red Lobster (a.k.a. Darden Corp) serving re-heated Sysco food, or Outback serving re-heated Sodexho food. Choices, choices :thumbsdown:
 
Outback if you have to....otherwise, pick a real steakhouse. I don't like how Outback salts up their steaks....

I'm weary of Red Lobster because 5 people died at the one 4 miles away about 5 years ago from an e. coli outbreak.....enjoy your dinner. 😛

Well my girlfriend is taking me out and asked where i want to go. She's not exactly loaded so I want to keep it reasonable. I'm thinking a step above something like Chili's but nothing super nice.
 
Neither. Go to some local place ftw.

edit: if you do go to Red Lobster, their fresh fish actually is fresh (never frozen, it is airmailed to them from whatever chinese farm it comes from 2 - 3 times a week). The rainbow trout is good there, but still go to some other local place.
 
You know, I think Chili's is better than both of them. That restaurant definitely has its place, and I love the ribs, have since I was a kid.

Outback is decent for a chain steakhouse. There was one in my college town, so for the very occasional treat we'd go there, and I'd either get a ribeye or the rack of lamb. I always liked both.

I like food, and I'm pretty serious about eating out (serious = do it as much as I can and try as many new places I can, not snobbery), and these places don't suck. Red Lobster would be below both of them, but if you want seafood, go there. It's not terrible or anything, I'd just rather have a steak 🙂

Enjoy your dinner. A meal isn't about where you are or what's on your plate, it's about the company present. If you don't believe me, get a couple of burgers from McDonalds, a cheap bottle of wine, bring it home, enjoy with someone you care about, and report your findings! It's nice of your gf to take you out even though she isn't loaded. If it's a stretch, go someplace even cheaper, maybe a local dive. Cheap eats and all sorts of atmosphere have become something I really appreciate and seek out more than a much fancier place anymore.

I believe Chili's has the awesome blossom and Outback has the Bloomin' Onion, but I might be wrong.
 
You live in Las Vegas and you're going to one of those? I've got to imagine there's something better in your price bracket.

Interesting you would bring that up. I know it depends more on the individual store than the chain, but my family went to eat at Chilis last night and we didnt like any of it. The blossom was stale, the cobb salad was all letuce and wilted, my nephew's jalepeno burger had no taste he said, my wife had a guiltless chicken platter (no taste, but what do you expect), and the chicken fingers my son had were stale and soggy also. The only thing any of us liked was the pasta my other son had...

Very odd, since we've eaten there before and thought it was ok. Maybe the cook (microwave specialist) called in sick that night?
 
I knew a bunch of snooty dickheads would come in and criticize you. The OP didn't ask "Are my dining choices up to your standards?", he asked "which place should I pick for my birthday?"

I hope you have a good birthday, OP.
