If you could do one restaurant shop for the rest of your life...

Mine would either be 5 Guys or Capital Grille.
Though I think if I did 5 Guys, the rest off my life wouldn't be too long from now.

More About Restaurants

Mine would be the Syrian Restaurant by my house.

I meant places that are currently shopped!

Mine would be the Japanese BBQ place for the Australian company that decided I no longer qualified as a shopper for them. Or really any upscale place at a msc with a check off form and no narrative. And yes, I have done a few of them and they are a welcome change from long narratives.

Mine would be Hickory Tavern but they're on to me now so I can't shop there anymore. Silly buggars really because I always gave them such glowing reports, they should have shut up about it and just enjoyed the great reports....

Pita Pit, but those are always taken before I can get the locations nearest to me.

Pollo Campero. I enjoy the food, I just wish the shop fee was higher.

Buffalo Wild Wings if I always had a male companion and the shop fee was enough to cover my gas to the closest location.

Really? I see them come up but they're really far away and rural so I couldn't really do them even if I wanted to but I keep seeing the name and thinking, "What an awful name for a restaurant."

I would shop 4+1 Guys

I agree that Pita Pit is not a good name. I haven't discovered my favorite yet but am gaining weight trying to find it.

I love the Wings shops. I know everyone gets sick of the emails but I always counting down my 35 days until I can shop again.

Japanese sushi/steak buffet... or the 3 day resort stay I just finished last week, 2 calls and a trip to the food counter in the game room. Report was all yes/no and NO NARRATIVE. I would eat the snack bar food forever (they weren't bad either). Ya, deff the snack bar.

O.o o.O

Happily shopping New England and beyond!!!!!

prob .................. anything w/veggies........... i like meat too but...

i've been a certain national chain restaurant for about 8 yrs .. their menu is sooo old and boring.. i finally said so in my last report. i've even done them in different states, borning

@gogogirl Hey, check it out with the scheduler. For the wings shop, at least in my area they bypass the 35 day "embargo" when they can't get someone to shop it...

Pita Jungle or Flemings!

Cheesecake Factory.....love to take friends for appetizers and save up the gift cards for nice dinners.

Today I Will Choose Joy!

Benihana or Cheesecake Factory.

East Side Mario's. In my small near by city I've only found shops for McD, Smitty's, KFC, DQ, A&W, Fatburger and Mario's. So Mario's is my favourite.
But if one of the FF gets bonused nicely then that's my current favourite.

It's kinda crazy here. Is this a college town thing? I only know of 4 locations in a 2 state area, all 4 college towns, 3 of them tiny college towns. The tiny college town ones sit forever but the one near me usually goes pretty quick.

I don't know what mine would be. I make more money on McD's than anything but I get more free meals from 5 Guys. I like doing Chipotle but those take too long to be the only ones I do. Cheesecake Factory tastes good but they require 2 people so I only do the take outs. Plus you can only do them every other month or something.

I'd say I make the most of McD and 5 Guys. I wish they'd stop calling me for McD's, not because they're not worth it or anything but because I really need to stop eating McDonalds.

I've resorted to only doing McD when it's over $14 (usually closer to $20 and even $25)

I've only ever seen McD reach $18. I have one location that they consistently call about and I tell them that I won't do it for less than $25. Still hasn't come to that yet.

There's a group of fine dining restaurants under one owner in my area. It was fabulous, but the reimbursement limit wasn't much. However, me and my husband had a great time. it was a nice change from FF.

I like BWW, especially since their reimbursement is more reasonable. I do wish they would give a few extra dollars if they require an alcoholic drink. Besides that, it's always a fun and reasonably easy shop.

I'm glad Five Guys now will let me get a veggie sandwich! now if only I could get salads instead of their fries... don't get me wrong their fries are delish but so high calorie...

I enjoy Applebees carside takeout. I did a dine in lunch, and it wasn't worth all the restrictions. I's rather actually have get the food and have it in the comfort of my own home than worry about 10 additional detailed narrative questions, getting shops returned, and rejected because I didn't realize I couldn't order wine with lunch

I like Chilis too, though the company is quite cheap with reimbursement only, and doesn't let you leave more than 18% tip.
