Well lets just say if they are trying to be a italian T.G.I Fridays like we overhead an employee in Romano's I think they have T.G.I with there Spinach Dip. Mother didn't think so, but I did.
Unlike with T.G.I, Romano's spinach dip has a more profound cheese and artichoke flavor and a bread instead of a chip for a dipper. The cheese looked thick and tasted thick, my mouth waters even know just thinking about it.
It was most deff fresh, there where still some larger artichoke pieces as well.
The look of this dish holds a strong cheese and spinach dip feel, it makes your mouth water just thinking about it. Thats how good it looks.
Portion size is great! Feed me and mother well.
Money, 6.99$ good price for a new item.

Romano's Macaroni Grill, Fettuccine Alfredo With Shrimp.
Small update- "To be honest now I think I will start throwing in more info if I can on the actual price, and a better portion size as well as if I got it from another store. All past posts will also receive the update once I get better price ranges."
Now to the recipe at hand here.
This Alfredo is fairly common. My guess is it is highly a Parmesan bucket. I made the mistake a few visits back to ask for some on the top of this dish. I warn you to be very mindful of the Parmesan intake this dish may or may not have at your location. However, if it was a fluke it was the worst fluke I've ever had. Other then that the dish is very average. There might be a few more cheese's that I can't quite detect in this dish, but the shrimp was extremely good. I've also had the chicken added before, and it was also equally good.
Fresh yes, though I've come across over cooked noodles before.
The dish is normally warm to hot in temp, if it's anything less have it taken back. In spice it is on a level Bland.
The appearance is great, it looks edible. Depending on location it will range from alittle fresh Parmesan to alot.
The noodle portion for 9.99$ is okay, however the additions are extremely expensive and though they taste good if you add both it adds almost 6$ to the dish while many other competitors sale the same better quality for alot less then 15$.
I kind of said the price, but I'll restate it, 9.99$ for the main and about 2.50 for chicken and I believe 3 for shrimp.

Hardee's hand breaded chicken
Let me go straight to the review on this one.
Lets just say the taste of this chicken is some of the best in the world. It's juicy and tender with a nice simi crunchy breading. Be warned though, After I had this chicken competitor's breaded chicken tasted like crap. I'm afraid my taste has been affect forever.
Generally this chicken is warm and fresh, but i've come across one not so fresh.
Generally hot or warm, if cold ask for replacements.
The appearance is a great over lord to your typical chicken tender. Great looking chicken.
Portion size and money, Both are on the same issue. The portion size is extremely lacking for a 3-6 dollar meal, even with a small fry and drink. Hardee's is generally the over priced fast food as is, some items are cheap, but mostly high priced.

T.G.I Fridays Tuscan Spinach Dip
So you want a good appetizer to go with that Cajun pasta? That Spinach dips the next best thing.
This is the perfect appetizer for ones that want more veggies in their system without the hassle of look or taste. Grant it the Spinach dip looks kinda off at first glance but once you try it, the viewing process is turned to brilliant. It tastes great and doesn't have to much of one thing or another. It comes with the dip and chips. Depending on location each chip can hold at least a mini mountain of dip and still have enough to run your finger over.
Freshest thing on the menu most likely.
The temperature is generally warm. However, best eat it while warm as the dip heads south in taste once it cools.
As I said the appearance might make young ones not eat it, but it gets better once you actually eat the item.
Portion size was great! Might need a few more chips though.
Cost, I personally think its on the medium high side for just a dip and chips.
This appetizer is a great dish as long as you are fairly quick to eat it while its warm.

Red Robin Pesto.
It's not the exact name but pesto sure is it's name. Red robin is known well for its bottomless fries and its delish hamburgers. However, it should also be known for one of the best pesto dish's currently food in these famous chains.
This pesto dish is a really good noodle dish and currently the only dish with noodles*. The pesto is not like your average wal mart pesto out of the can, it's pesto. The noodles are on the average side. The chicken is really good(I figure somewhat wine based, or marinated). The pesto and tomatoes are grand. I personally don't care for tomato's but I look past that with this dish. Overall, this dish is the best pesto dish.
It was fresh yes. Nothing was dry, or yucky.
The temperature was correct for the food, hot.
The appearance was fine, though two minor issues was seen. One one half of the plate the pesto was nearly extinct while on the other side it was a swamp. It was not evenly coated like it should have been at this particular spot.
Portion size was great filled me up and almost had to take a to go box.
Cost, might be on the higher side considering the pesto and chicken isn't hard to throw together.
Overall, I enjoyed this dish.

T.G.I Friday's CAJUN SHRIMP & CHICKEN PASTA
T.G.I Fridays has many great dish's. This would include the brand new Cajun Shrimp & Chicken Pasta.
First off the taste is fantastic all in one. The shrimp is to die for and the chicken so tender and juicy. The spice makes the dish fantastic times two. believe me when I say I've tried it both ways. This pasta without Cajun is fine, but tastes like your average 2 star quality dish. However, when you add that spice it adds a rocket full of beautiful taste.
This item is also a fresh tasting item. It wasn't dried out nor was it lacking in sauce. The chicken and shrimp where also very fresh tasting, and not watered down.
Other then the Cajun hotness, the dish was well heated and hasn't been cold.
The appearance was great. It had alot of color and had its own personality. It screamed Eat me as they brought it to you.
Portion size is about a medium, about the right size for a teenager or adult.
Cost- Around average cost for T.G.I Fridays.
