What are your best tips for eating out?  What restaurants do you like to go to and what do you order?

I'll ususally get a salad or plain meat and vegetables, or at a Chinese restaurant, I'll order my food steamed, no sauce and have them hold the rice.

Here's a link to our Dining Out guide, which might help give some other ideas.

Since following the SBD lifestyle, my tastes have really changed.  We rarely get Chinese takeout any more.  When we do, I will usually just have hot and sour soup, and I'm satisfied with that.  When we do eat Chinese, it is usually at a more upscale restaurant and I will order brown rice with the meal. 

We eat out about twice a week on average.  My kids love the "chain" restaurants like Outback and Chili's.  I have my favorites at those places.  The only place where I have a hard time is a local pizzeria that doesn't even have good salads. 

If you find that you're going to a particular restaurant, try viewing their menu online first.  I usually do that if DH and I have a date at a new place.  You can even post a link to the menu here if you need help deciding.
