What are the most over rated restaurants in Texas?
My picks are (all in Ft. Worth):
Hamburger Joint - Kincaids
Mexican - Joe T's
Seafood - Red Lobster
BBQ - Angelo's or The Railhead
Steaks - Outback
Asian - Pei Wei
Italian - Olive Garden

+1,000,000 on Joe T's. It was the worst "mexican" food I've eaten.

Mi Tierra in San Antone. bakery is good, food is awful. McCormick & Shmicks in Houston. Not bad really, but you are paying for the atmosphere, food is okay. Any of Tillman Fertitta's restaurants.
The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.

I assume it is still open, but after all the hype, I was very disappointed in the Ponder, TX steakhouse. I think it was called the Ranchman. Also have to put in a vote for Cracker Barrel.

Outback, Olive Garden, just about all fast food chains see any connection?
I like mom and pop type eating places! I support the local people 9 out of 10 times.

No matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs.

I don't think you guys can count "Chain Restaurants" like Outback and Olive Garden as "over-rated."
They're Chain Restaurants...they shouldn't be rated very well to begin with hehehe.

I like SaltGrass Steakhouse. What does that say? Agree with holeinmyhook; Pappadeaux and Pappa's restuarnts are off the chain. Kincaid's is definitley over-rated as is Bracken Store in SA.

And I thought the Bracken Store Cafe wasn't "rated" at all. I'll give the burger 4 stars.
