For some reason, i HATE going to restaurants where i have to pay ala carte. I like eating a salad before a meal but i dont want to pay $12 for one. I like having a side or 2 with my meal but dont feel like forking out $11 for one.
The only time i'll go to "nicer" restaurants (where i have to pay for my meal) is when out with friends. If it just the wife and I or if we're with the kids, then we'll rarely splurge (except for this awesome asian fusion place where the 4 of us eat for under $100).
We actually went to outback over the weekend. We're fine with going there. Although i feel like their prices went up.

There's one here that's Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and sushi and it's all you can order, and it's just as good as any in town...$15.95 for Lunch (they leave off a few items like tuna sashimi), and $25.95/dinner. Honestly, that about as much as I like to spend, occassionally, birthdays or some sort, we may splurge and spend $50/pp or so, but that'll include a drink or two also.
The best steaks come cooked right here at my house...
There's a all you can eat sushi place in Raleigh that's only $15.95 and it's damn good. New concept where it is served on a revolving belt system that rotates around you with different items, you grab whatever you want. I'd love to open one here, it would make mad bank...
Wife and I go to Fleming's Steakhouse a few times a year. For some reason they send us a $50 gift card about every 6 to 8 months, that's when we go. We usually spend $150-200 (and then get $50 off). We could spend more if we got an appetizer and more drinks, but usually we both get a meal and a couple of drinks. Well worth it. But only a couple of times/year.
We rarely eat at places where meals are over $35. I'm fine paying up to $30 at local restaurants here in DC, which is very common. But I prefer under $20.

I love it because it’s my favorite style, tangy vinegar based sauce. The bbq is good, the chicken is great as well. Make sure you have cash if you ever make it though because they don’t accept debit or credit cards.
Man, it’s been a good while since I’ve been, now you got me thinking of a trip too...
The wife and I went to SW at the Wynn one year and spent like $400 on some steaks, salads and drinks. Biggest waste of money ever. Bunch of fake ass people dressed in fake ass clothing having fake ass conversations. At one point I asked the waiter "do you talk like this to your friends?" because he had this fake, soft "sir, would you like another" voice on. Ugh, gross.
Agree...
Went one time to a place here where we had like 4 waiters/waitresses too, and that shit was getting on my nerves so bad. One was a "crumb catcher" and when a small piece of your bread or something would hit the table, they would run over and brush it off. I was just ready to get the hell outta there as that shit was more nerve racking as it was service to me...
