It's peak "middle class fancy" to me. It's not cheap, has not been for a while. But it's the kind of place you could bring three kids and feel fancy, yet not totally blow the budget. It's not "fine dining" but it's a cosplay for a large demographic

I think it had more of an image of affordable classiness in the early 90's. My family couldn't really afford to eat out much back then, but I feel like eating at chain food places that had waiters was more of a rarity.

Hell, back then wendys and pizza hut were considered a sit down restaurant for the family.

I've never been and I've lived in the Midwest for most of my life. The few times I've loved seafood was when it was fresh.
