New Businesses Coming to Southern Maryland

[Hodr]

sadly, arcades are turning into a thing of the past. With Xbox One, Wii U, and PS4, who needs an arcade these days??

Might as well have said in the '00s "with the Xbox, Dreamcast, and the PS2 who need an arcade", or in the '90s "with a N64 and a Playstation who needs an arcade", or in the '80s "with a NES and a Genesis who needs an arcade?", or in the late '70s "With an Atari and an Intellivision who needs an arcade"?

Literally ever since "video arcades" (as opposed to pinball) have been around, home based systems have also been around and been fairly popular. The issue with arcades in big cities is violence and anti-social behavior, not lack of interest.

I just have one question: When did the Cheesecake Factory become "high end"?

Good question. I have never been there.

Call me crazy but I don't even LIKE cheesecake ... or eggs Benedict either yuck!

 

[KDENISE977]

You're not missing much, huge menu but nothing is really that GOOD. At least not that I've ever had and I've been to more than one.

WHAT ?!? are you un-American, don't like eggs benedict, that's just crazy talk !!!

 

[sockgirl77]

Could we at least get good chains??!?!? Trader Joes, Whole Foods, & Wegmans...I can go on

Piggly Wiggly would be ####ing fantastic! As a couponer, I'd LOVE to have a Piggly Wiggly or even a Krogers here!

Seriously??? Ive never had a bad meal there. We try to go a couple times a year. True menu is HUGE but that gives you plenty of options. Its the one place I can take all 5 kids and EVERYONE get something they really want/like. Plus portions sizes are HUGE. Always have plenty of leftovers

Restaurants are all a matter of taste. I raved about Jake and Als and the general population in here said they sucked.

And now they are closed.

I concur. It's all :meh: It's an okay meal but nothing to get excited about.

I love the Pig. We will never get one. Just like we'll never get a Waffle House.

 

[sockgirl77]

And now they are closed.

I know. I posted in the thread.

Nope, it's regional. I'm thankful that we do not have a Waffle House. Not only is my shrinking waistline thankful, but St. Mary's would ruin it just like we have so many other chains. Cracker Barrel and Sonics here...SUCKY!

Have you seen the prices of their food? You cannot get away with those prices without calling yourself "high end."

I've eaten there twice and it wasn't that great. :shrug:

IMO expensive does not equal high end.

I've been unhappy with Red Lobster anymore. You end up paying $30 per person usually before you add alcoholic beverages, and you get such a small amount of seafood. I have always found it to be cheaper to drive to the Wharf in DC, buy your seafood, take it home and cook it yourself to get more seafood for the money, but the problem is your house stinks for the next 2 days LOL

And Red Lobster is FAR from high end. I've never liked their food. I do not like any chain seafood restaurant. I'd rather spend my money at locally-owned restaurants where I know the food is fresh.

Red Lobster is low end...... G-H-E-T-T-O

That's almost as bad as saying that Chesapeake Seafood House was high end.
