Another one of my FAVORITE restaurants that are as accomidating as Applebee's is the cheese cake factory. They have an awesome ribeye and you can get that with a huge caesar or a BOWL of steamed buttery broccoli.

Same with Chili's. They also have a nice cajun ribeye normally served with smashed potatoes and grilled veggies. I ask them to remove the taters and double up on the veggies. I never get an argument.

All 3 of these restaurants want me to come back... So they will do anything to please me.. and that's how it should be.
