Red Lobster & Olive Garden Go Anti-angler

[slammer]

I ate at both places once. I thought the food was crap ,and they support catch shares.
. I will never take my family there again.

[NoLimit]

I got sick at both those places once. Also Boston Market.

I have not gone and never will go to those places again.

And talk about shooting yourself in the foot - who do you think goes out to eat seafood? Vegetarians or fishermen?!??!

[SplitShot]

The disgusting food they serve at Red Lobster doesnt even resemble the food they advertise on those expensive commercials and the Olive Garden should be ashamed thinking they serve real Italian Food...who are they kidding?. Ugh!!

[RnK]

you guys get it, but the vast majority of American's don't. Not good seafood, certainly not good Italian. Look at their commercials, different dishes always swimming in butter and cheese, cheese, and more quadruple cheeses. Can't imagine....

Wish I ate there so I could boycot but I only had a $5 coupon 20 years ago for Red Lobster and haven't been there since. If you want to punish them "Yelp" bad reviews.

Well,
I just added Red Lobster, Olive Garden & Longhorn Steakhouse to the Walfart list. As far as I'm concerned, they can all go f*%k themselves. They will never see a penny of my hard earned money!!!!

We who catch our own know but there is 3000 miles between the coasts and most people have no idea what good seafood is. My dad retired and moved to the mid-west where he was raised and he always says one of the things he misses most is good fresh seafood.
Especially for us who live around large metropolitan, culturally diverse areas like New York, Philly etc we can get spoiled by all the good food (pork roll anyone? )and restaurants. When I visit half my in-laws in Wisconsin, good food is Applebee's. When I visit the other half of my in-laws in New Orleans, well, it's some of the best damn food ever! Oysters, gumbo, gulf shrimp, crawfish mmmmmm!
I always try not to eat a chain restaurants if I can and you'll never catch me at Dead Lobster. The big restaurant chains don't give a crap about recreational fishermen. Eat local and support small business.

[I] agree with Frugal the best way is to slam them on yelp and other boards. If we can only get one percent of rec fisherman to do that would go along way to stop these corporations from supporting the environmentalists.

Red Lobster, Olive Garden=GARBAGE!!!
