Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Dan Caplinger]

  Still, the stock's performance reflects overall enthusiasm about restaurant chains generally. Red Robin Gourmet Burgers (NASDAQ: RRGB  ) struggled mightily during the recession, but its stock has bounced back convincingly, with gains sending shares to levels not seen since 2005. Even Brinker International (NYSE: EAT  ) , which cut its estimates on same-store sales growth to just 1%, and guided earnings to the lower end of its previous range, has seen its stock soar in anticipation of better times ahead.

• [By Ali Berri]

  Brinker International (NYSE: EAT) reported a drop in its fourth-quarter profit. However, the company's revenue topped analysts' estimates.
