“Last year, Red Lobster reported $11 million in operating losses following its flubbed ‘Ultimate Endless Shrimp’ deal, which backfired when it reeled in too many customers after the limited-time promo became a permanent menu fixture last June. The restaurant chain later reported $12.5 million in losses in the fourth quarter of 2023.”

    For me it’s just not really an option because there are no locations in Québec. The closest one is in Ottawa, two hours away.

    It’s one of our favorite places to go eat when we go to Ottawa. It’s honestly not as bad as people say it is. The food is always great at that location.

      @cyborganism @wreckedcarzz If you take internet reviews there are only three types of restaurants.

      1. Excellent places that deserve their Michelin Stars

      2. Excellent places that should have Michelin Stars

      3. Diarrhea fuel garbage pits. With food so disgusting you shouldn’t even feed it to the stray dog that bit your baby.

      On our national deal hunting website you can see all the “It gives you diarrhea comments” every time there’s a coupon for McDonalds or franchised Shawarma

        Chain restaurants also have a ton of variance. Most Olive garden is shit these dates, but A. They were great in the mid 90s before they enshittified, and B. I’m sure there’s still a great Olive Garden out there somewhere.
