This guy I was seeing took me here for dinner a few weeks ago. The food tasted good, and the setting was nice...but both of us started experiencing rumbling tummies as soon as we got home. Then we sort of got into an argument, which didn't help matters. Soon he was experiencing full-on runs, which didn't really hit me until the next day.

We each ate totally different dishes. I had salad, he had soup. I had shrimp on pasta, and I don't recall what he had. Something with chicken.

So all in all, um, NO, I won't be going back.

Chili's is getting ready to piss off all of their female diners, because at the end of June they are getting rid of the Carribean Salad with Grilled Chicken. I know a lot of perpetually-dieting women who go to Chili's just to have that salad.

Oh yeah--and they are discontinuing the Bloomin' Onion too. (aka, the Bloomin' Coronary).

FANTASTIC fajitas. The beef used for the fajitas is ribeye steak.

Had a burger and fries here the other day. The burger was very good, but it's no "In-n-Out" burger. Not even close. But still, it was tasty, not too greasy. The fries were maybe a little over-fried, but they were still okay. Mooyah definitely beats any fast-food burger out there. And the flavor is better than, say, Chili's burgers.

If you are looking for a great sandwich place, here it is. Their food has FLAVOR, unlike some of the other sandwich joints around. I love the North Beach Chicken sandwich. The chili is wonderful--thick and meaty. My only gripe is the last time I ate there (a week ago) it was freezing cold in restaurant.

This place is my family's favorite local (W. Plano) restaurant. The food is delicious, plentiful, and reliable. Dad LOVES the grilled salmon. Prime rib is delicious. All their food is good. It can be a little noisy. Booths are nice. We've been there at least 20 times.

Their food is so-so. I've eaten there a few times, and their fajita meat has a funny taste...like it's been frozen too long, or maybe overdipped in "smoke" flavoring, or something like that. I don't eat here any more...there's much better TexMex in the vicinity.
