Last time I went to one the service was horrible. I just wanted my damn Monte Cristo and the servers only came around once every 20 minutes. I couldn't even get a damn fork and I asked 3 times. Not too mention they were late bringng my beer. That's just unacceptable. I wont bitch about my fork if you keep the beer coming.

Hmmm…I never went there and I'm glad I didn't, it's a shame those folks lost their jobs though.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm still hurting from Sizzler closing 5 years ago.

rofl, mae, your comment extends all the way across the page, goes behind tom cruise and keeps on going….

bennigan's isn't in area… so i don't care. just don't close chili's.

dude, they best not fark with chili's man. I'll throw shivs and shank a LOT of people. I love their chicken crispers and salads.

Now where can I go to get my Irish on? Oh yeah… They weren't all that Irish anyways. Maybe I'll try Ireland next time. I'll just have to remember not to do any banking while I'm there. Silly tax laws.

Uh! Our chilis just closed too. It was barely there a year. Life isnt fair.

How will you get your baby back ribs now?

Applebee's, you're next. I'm a total Chili's fan. This sucks and is scary, though. But then when I think the end is near, new strip malls are popping up in the unlikeliest of places. Maybe it's just a shifting of money, rather than a loss. Yeah, that's what Obama will be saying next.

and starbucks too! they're the walmart of coffee i know but they could have waited til i got my last white chocolate mocha latte first. or the economy could have waited. someone wait darn it.

This will be a terrible blow to Butters.

None of Starbucks are closing. We just had a new one open up. So now I can go to the Starbucks up the street and when I finish I can drive down the street and get another one through the drive through.

ohhh but there's a list!

Some Starbucks. I'd rather go to Shenanigans anyway.

Good. It's not a real Irish pub anyways. The first time I went to one, I was not expecting to see lephrechauns on the wallpaper. Blech. They did have a good spinach quesadilla, which is of course, a very Irish thing.

I already checked the list. I wanted to make sure if they weren't going to close the one with the drive thru.

Ouch Cooter, we still have our Sizzler thank god. I couldn't live a life with no cheesy toast. They are closing Starbucks but mostly here in Cali and Florida I think. My sister is a manager and she says they are stealing each others business out here, since there is one on every corner.

bbb, gee i feel guilty now for thinking bono was not a role model.

lava, i'm going to have to vote that they are the walmart clothing section of coffee, because they price their stuff like it's being sold at Macy's.

I know YerMom. I know. Thank you for understanding. I mean where am I to turn? Our TGIFridays is gone too. I guess there is always O'Charlies.

ahh good point my fine sar. like a fancy shmancy walmart maybe…. slowly taking over other perfectly good stores.

this actually sucks. potato skins w no bacon and side a of sour cream and ketchup was my idea of a really fun time Friday nights in highschool in downers grove, Illinois.. I wonder if I was a good tipper back then. I hope so. such good meatless potato skins.

What in sam hill are all these crazy restaurants? Bennigans? Shenanigans? O'Charlie's? You guys are just making these up.

Also, is it true that you have to wear 17 pieces of flair at Shenanigans?

OOH OOH Office Space reference. I made a similar comment on an Amy Winehouse post some months back when she was going through her "Brass in Pocket" phase. No one got it… crickets chirping…
