Connoisseur of the Grilled Chicken Salad
Due to my sprueness food allergy I am limited when dining out. I have tried about every grilled chicken salad around and feel my opinion has reached expert status.

Texas Roadhouse: Best in the area for the price. This salad is huge and serves at three meals. Can’t beat it. They didn’t used to have French dressing, so I got in the habit of bringing my own. They have recently added it to the menu, but I still sneak in my own.

Applebee’s: Second favorite. Blackened chicken salad. They recently changed their menu and they still have this, but you have to ask. Only get the half size. It can serve as two meals. For an extra dollar get the “Pittsburgh Style” fries with it. Ask for them with the salad, but on the side. If you just say you want fries with it they will charge you an extra dollar for a side of fries!

Uno’s: Very average. Wouldn’t get again. Tasted okay for a late night dinner after skiing, but wouldn’t recommend it. Morgantown’s branch was so good they closed already!

Cheddars: Best new salad. Actually had French dressing! Several chopped up cucumbers too. Most places have one or none. Honey coated pecans add a nice touch.

Oliverio’s: Not a good salad at all. No cheese. Very average. Don’t get the appeal of this place. Service took forever. Black olives too. Yuck!

Bob Evans: Chicken Cobb Salad – strange cheese not in many salads in the area. Don’t get this often, but wasn’t bad.

Boston Beanery: Not a bad choice. Good place to go because there is never much of a wait.

McDonalds: Best fast food salad around but only serves as one meal. Must get to go: no French dressing!

New places to try: Chick-fil-a and Panera Bread.

For the out of towner there is Hooters, where the salad is good
and the EXTENSIVE AMOUNT OF TIME it takes provides an excellent opportunity to study the waitress on tips for how to gain a males interest.
