Outback was horriable, we had to yell across the table and so did all the other people who were there.. Sounded like a darn bar room in there. I won't go back there again.
The music drives me nuts, too! Dad likes the food at TGIFriday's so we go there once every two weeks or so. The music is . . . current pop charts stuff, definitely not from my generation. One recent visit, the music was loud, and the lyrics were . . . X rated, in my opinion. I asked the hostess if they could change the channel or turn it off. She told me it is the store franchise requirement, as they cater to the young twenty somethings. She did soften it a teensy tiny bit. Dad couldn't understand the words; but it was so loud we couldn't converse, and I had to answer all the waitress' questions to him.

Anyone know the name of the Old Fuddy Duddy's restaurant chain?
