Never been a big fan of Bennigan's. Steak and Ale is ok though.

What? On my kid's birthday no more line of people strolling out of the kitchen banging pots and pans together, rattling silverware in a bucket and streamers? . It's ok, the food wasn't that great anyways.

I think TGIF is my favorite chain restaurant, aside from the higher-end ones.

Aside from the lack of a deep-fried club sandwich in every neighborhood, what bugs me about this is it seems to have happened very suddenly. I went by the one in the Galleria today and there was a note, scribbled in crayon, on the door saying something about "CLOSED".

That tells me the workers had no warning, which sucks.

Never cared for their food. It seemed like it was all high in fat and greasy.

Where I am and where I used to live all 4 of those restaurants were cast out of the same mold.
Limited menus, overpriced, ill-prepared foods, and wait staffs whose only concern was who was texting/calling them now.
I never had even one experience in any of them that was close to enjoyable.
