1. Cheesecake Factory - I'm hooked on several of their dishes like the chicken madeira and I love their lemon marain cheesecake.
2. Texas Roadhouse - those rolls tho. Oh and the steaks & salmon are good too. Did I mention the rolls?
3. PF Chang's - the lettuce wraps are amazing and I like so many of their dishes it's hard to choose!
4. Giordano's Pizza - Chicago style pizza is my favorite, enough said.
5. Ford's Garage - two years ago I would have never thought a burger place would be in my top 10 but here it is. Even though their burgers are amazing, the rest of the menu is epic as well. Give it a go, you won't regret it.
6. Olive Garden - before you judge that I'm stuck on chain restaurants, I'll compose a list of my local favorites later. The chicken parmesana is what keeps me coming back, along with the amazing salad.
7. Sullivan's - the first non-chain on the list. Steaks are amazing and you must get the lobster bisque.
8. Benihana - I live Japanese food and they do it well. I've never had a dish there I didn't love.
9. Cracker Barrel - Am I well cultured? Nope. Do I love this comfort food? Yep. My go to when traveling. I just can't get enough, breakfast, lunch or dinner.
10. Outback Steakhouse - a great go to for Steaks at a reasonable price. Everything is well done in my experience.
