Dinner for my family of 4, including an appetizer, two glasses of wine, and two desserts, was $165.
My family used to never eat at chain restaurants, but my teenagers have asked about visiting more and more of the ones they see people post about on TikTok.
Although reluctant, my husband and I have obliged them, trying restaurants like LongHorn Steakhouse and Bahama Breeze so they can see for themselves what's what in the chain-restaurant world.
Recently, we visited an Outback Steakhouse location in Melbourne, Florida, for a Friday night family dinner.
