The 1st Tony Roma's I had ever been to was in Okinawa, Japan of all places.  After eating primarily Asian food for 2 straight years, the ribs there tasted like HEAVEN.  Both my wife and I were curious if it was just that particular dinner or if Tony Roma's was really that good.  It was definitely the former.  Not a terrible place but not that great either.  I would go with Memphis Championship BBQ any day of the week over this place.
