From my usual travel posts you might get the wrong impression that I usually only eat at 3-Star Michelin Restaurants and only stay at 5-Star Hotels. Of course I try to travel as comfortable as I can, but I have stayed in any type of Hotels, Airbnb etc.

If you travel a lot, most of the time you don't have time to eat out a 12-course meal so I will introduce you to some Chains I sometimes visit.

Red Lobster

While most people would never go to this place, my opinion is that you can't get cheaper lobster anywhere than at Red Lobster. The lobster is usually displayed in a Aquarium, so they are not better/ worse than in expensive restaurants. I like this place for the people eating there. Gradution Parties, Families going out for a celebration (birthday etc.). It is really a down-to earth place so I like it once in a while.

The Lobster is pretty decent and the prices are unbeatable for lobster... (Cheaper than in Asia)

Price: Starting at 15$

LongHorn Steakhouse

A friend of mine recommended LongHorn Steakhouse. It is a very affordable Steakhouse and if you know how to order the Steak, you will get pretty decent results. Sometimes better than the expensive restaurants you would pay twice the amount for a steak.

Most European and American have the habit to order there Steaks well done. Problem is that you kill the whole steak if you do that. Most of the fat will burn and the flavor will be killed.

Order a fatty Steak, the taste is much better than a low-fat steak, I would recommend a Rib-eye or if you don't like fat a Filetsteak Medium-Rare.

Price: Starting at 13$

If you are in Florida, always try the Keylime Pie, this is one of my favorite desserts!

Pinchers Crab Shack

I went to Pinchers CS with a local friend in Fort Myers some years ago. It is a family run chain and offers all kinds of Crab. Of course a place like Joe's Crab in Miami is the very best, but that place will set you back min 100$ per person for dinner, so Pinchers is a good place if you want good quality but affordable prices.

They offer a Killer Key Lime Pie and Lump Crab Cake here, so try that out too!

Price: Starting at 12$

Soft Shell Crab

Snow-Crab

So these 3 are Chains I visited in the past, of course there is so much more like FIVE GUYS, Fords Garage or ShakeShack etc. My winner out of the visited 3 would be Red Lobster but the reason for that is that I love Lobster.

It would be interesting to hear, if you can recommend me other options, I am always happy to learn about new restaurants.

Please leave a comment if you go to these family restaurants, or you avoid them!!!
