It's been a really long time since we've been at this popular chain restaurant. Two for $20 (share an appetizer & two entrees) is a pretty good deal and kid's meals are under $5.99. I figured we could check out some stores in the shopping center after dinner (we had some returns).
It didn't seem crowded, but there was a large party in the lobby. It was steady.
Service started off slow (there was an apology) but when we got our orders in, the food came out pretty fast. Our server checked in with us pretty frequently and refilled our drinks too.
We got the panko onion rings (perfect, crisp, seasoned just right, not greasy, not overdone) for our starter. Hubby got a burger (said it rivaled Red Robin), came with skin-on fries (just right), I got the fajitas (carnitas) with corn tortillas. I've gotten it here before but not the carnitas, was shredded and tender. It was really good. (Almost reminded me of Cozymels.) Little man got chicken nuggets (puffy batter) and fries. Good thing we asked our server, because the other chicken nugget choice was more breaded. We opted for the less breaded kind. He liked it, kind of a picky eater, but chicken is one of his favorites.
Hubby said we don't come here enough and I agree. Was one of my go-to restaurants during my college years. We had leftovers to enjoy for the rest of the weekend.
