Shaines of Maine ice cream - Anywhere USA, Only the second time that I had to throw away ice cream.

Charlies Steak House - Orlando, FL - Advertised as one of the top ten steakhouses in the country. I rate it as average.
Had to send back side orders as they were over cooked. Horrible wait staff.

Outback Steak House - Anywhere - I cannot for the life of me figure out what the fuss is all about - Just average over seasoned food.

Jimmy's Steer House - Saugus, MA - "Steer" clear of this place!

Hilltop - Saugus, MA - Recently this place has slipped - Higher prices and smaller portions.

Widow Fletcher's Tavern - Lafayette Rd. Hampton, NH - Wife had the fish and she liked it. I tried the sirloin steak and it was almost uneatable.
