I've never had a bad experience, nor a bad meal here, I'm just not a big fan of chain restaurants. This location is fairly close to where I work, and therefore is usually the site for celebratory lunches. I most recently dine here on a Friday afternoon. My favorite meal here is the Asian Chicken Chop Chop salad. The portion is HUGE and price is sufficient ($11). The salad consists of assorted greens, scallions, grilled/marinated chicken, jicama, and wonton strips. The salad is topped with peanuts and tossed with a sesame dressing. Chopsticks are provided with the meal. This is a VERY good salad. I've had the fish tacos here in the past, as well as burgers, and a number of other selections including the the traditional baked potato soup, which is always good. The service is ALWAYS on point. I will continue to return to Houlihans.
