Having been to Johnny Rockets, Bubba Gump Shrimp n other Halal or pork free Western restaurants I kinda lost hope in ever finding good food in these kind of establishments. The food is mediocre at best best and when the bill comes u start questioning the decision to spend RM50 on an average tasting meal.
imma sorry to say this but im starting judge a western restaurant by the majority ethnicity of the patrons. as much as i dun like doing it, this method seems to work.
Any suggestions for good Halal/pork free western restaurants ?
friend's bday coming up n we don't want to end up at TGIF or Chillis ever again.

you call them western restaurants i call them fast food restaurants. try Cozy House if you want a taste of traditional Malaysian Western Restaurant, or Victoria station. NY Steak Shack also not bad when comes to price point vs taste.

Chillis tastes alright, but the prices seem expensive for what it is.
Only been to Tony Roma's and TGIF less than a handful of times. Chillis seem to be more attractive somehow.
Not sure how to compare others though. These 3 seem like western/southern diner chains.

Though the portion is less and the prices are about on par. But doesn't give the diner feel. As for Johnny Rockets burger diner kind of food, I think Carls Jr tops them. There's Cali burger in Avenue K, but yet to try.

Honestly, Western genuinely. pork must present and also alcohol. Example, last time TGIF Bourbon JD sauce rib is awesome . Now because of sensitivity.... they removed from menu.. It become sweet caramel onion sauce WAFFAK? So conclusion save your $$ go singapore eat better

dude all the restaurants you've mentioned are western chain restaurant (mostly originated from the states) next time please try those western restaurant in hotels or local establish restaurant.
the main different between chain restaurant and restaurant is, chain restaurant tend to use frozen food and pre-cook material to serve your meal whereas normal restaurant use fresh ingredients and cook from scratch your meal.
for best western specially steak, for a start, try Jake's at Medan Damansara (next to Victoria Station).
happy tasting bro

Why the fucuk are you going to chains and than complain the food sucks? Plenty of 'Western' restaurants in this country are halal and some of them are pretty good. Its not hard to find the reviews for them. Just don't eat in chains unless you're that much of a poorfag.

Yeah, the automatic open up windows at smoking section is cool. Agree on the waiters communication. Overall, I think Acme South is worth the try once or twice - nothing to shout about. I rather eat some greasy, oily, deep fried food from Chillis.

Station 21. At the food court on top of parking lot behind Bangsar Village. Relatively cheap, the black pepper sauce is very delicious, but the environment is quite hot since it is open air food court. Sizzling style, no rare/medium/well done choice, but the taste is very good. And the cook wear proper hotel-style attire. Worth a try.
