As far as Red Lobster goes I went there once, took my girlfriend on a date trying to impress her with an upscale type menu, neither of us had eaten lobster before... well we've been married 40 years and never ate there again. She orders fish quite often when we go out.
I sometimes joke that we are going to Red Lobster and she gives me the dirty eye still.

Reading this I was wondering if Red Lobster is that bad. Then I realize it has been over twenty years since I ate at one. Been going there all my life, but only when I'm in the mood for steamed, live, Maine lobster. That's all I think I've ever ordered there. They sure know how to steam them. Always good. For a few years, they stopped offering steamed lobster, and only just recently started again. During that period, I emailed corporate and reminded them that the friggen logo on their sign is a steamed lobster.

Very relaxed in our area with tables just a bit further apart which makes things more pleasurable. If it's anything like our area most places needed them farther apart anyway. True. Ain’t all bad came out of this ! Grins Did you feel more safe?

Ain’t all bad came out of this ! Grins Did you feel more safe? Red Lobsters (since that was what this thread was started about anyway), usually have pretty good seating without moving their tables around. We still have some mom and pop restaurants that have always had tables jammed up together. I never liked that before COVID came about. I don't like sitting right up on some other family. If we're going out to eat, we'll eat at odd times just to avoid the rush and the crowds. Again, this predates the COVID by a long, long time. I don't think you're talking to me but...I don't feel safer, I've just never liked crowds anyway.

Of course he weighs 350 pounds, so more than 3 tables on a football field is too close. Not suggesting that is you, just giving an example.

Successful restaurants pack them in to increase profit. The government is impeding that for no reason.
That should infuriate Americans. Not make them happy.

PS-I don’t think Bristoe mentioned Red Lobster. I have no idea about what the government is requiring and am not speaking of that. IDGAF how good the food is, if I'm crowded I ain't going. COVID or no COVID. Many things the government and corporate are doing infuriate me and always have. I've made that pretty plain on here. How does Walmart decreasing their hours of operation lessen the chances of anybody getting it? It doesn't. It just gives them an excuse to cut worker's hours and make even more profit. Take note that they haven't increased their hours back to where they were before this started. I was just in a local Walmart...no guns. I'm sure they weren't sold out, just don't have guns for "moral" reasons. Maybe you'd shoot a looter. How was it moral to sell guns a month ago, but now it's not? What about the people that could be killed because they didn't have guns to defend against a mob assaulting them due to their color or for their stuff? I guess it's moral to let some white folks get killed for the cause.

Hey Dutch, when do you think Sizzler will re open? I think having that giant salad bar is causing them a lot of grief myself. You're probably still taking that red head to Butter Burr's.

If you love someone set them free
If they come back no one else liked them
Set them free again

Dick No clue about Sizzler, but the redhead’s sister works at Butter Burrs, so we’re no stranger there. Lots of local outfits are struggling, trying to spread the money around.

When I first returned to a restaurant it was a few weeks ago or so when Abbott opened them up at 25%. I hit a favorite Taqueria in San Antonio and immediately at entry had a gun to my forehead taking my temperature. They wore masks, I didn't and enjoyed a killer plate of carne guisada. Now in north Idaho we are clearly a few weeks behind Texas.

Been basically living in Tenn though all of this.
been dining in for over a month there.
Some restaurants are all out with masks, gloves, distancing and condiments, others are just like pre-Hysteria, those are where we end up usually.

Wife and I, tired of burgers and fries on the run, hit the local Golden Corral buffet last week since they announced reopening with limited number inside dining. You were seated and the wait staff asked what you wanted from a also somewhat limited menu, filled your plates and brought them back too you -- customers were not allowed to fill their own plates as they normally would. The food was okay but probably won't be going back again until they fully open the buffet to self service again.
