I've always been a fan of this chain. I know all the negative things people say about them but I'm just a sucker for their salad and breadsticks.
I was very happy to discover a nearby location when I moved to the area. Of course, as with most chains, the looks and taste barely differ between locations, which is great!
Aside from the salad, the minestrone soup, and the breadsticks (you can make a less than $10 unlimited combo with these; how can you beat that?!) I also love their Italian Sample appetizer.
Their menu has a large selection, they have great lemonades and ice teas. Good desserts, and a very nice atmosphere.
