Recently, possibly in response to a sluggish economy, there have been a couple of changes in local chain restaurants that are worthy of menu
Things began happening when, a couple of years ago, IHOP purchased Applebee’s. until then, Applebee’s was not on my list of restaurant stops Immediately., the menu
offerings, service and food quality improved. But what I wish to comment on their relatively “two for twenty.” For twenty bucks you and a partner get an appetizer, an entree each and two sides. True, the choices are limited, but buffalo wings, onion rings and cheese sticks are among the appetizer offerings, a 7oz steak, chicken and a burger among the entrees, and for 2 bucks you can have a delicious Parmesan shrimp sauce. You and your mate can get filled up for just over $29.
Possibly following Applebee’s lead, Lone Star, which now offers peanuts in the shell again, also has a two for 20 deal. It’s essentially the same as Applebee’s, but they have a steak con queso for an appetizer and a “garlic lovers delight” as unique offerings. The garlic lover’s delight is my favorite(even if not my stomach’s) and costs of beef medallions in garlic powder or some such along with, in my case.
The food at Lone Star seems to have improved lately, too, and you and yours can get stuffed for about twenty bucks.
Those foodies on a budget should do well at either of these places(of course there are a few Applebee’s locations). I am not particularly budget minded, but I enjoy both of these.
