Spare me the faggy "fill in the blank is much better than Black Angus" and just tell me what is your favorite.


Lucille's is pretty good tbh

If someone claims Applebee's they should be hung by their gonads.

I agree that Chilli's is first or second as well.

Dont go there as often anymore but back when I was attending a Pohs Intitute to get my Insurance licence I used to live on that store.

I would say my second favorite is Subway now.

Had Rudy's for the first time yesterday, it was alright.. I finally tried Cheddars to see what the hype was all about, it was pretty good tbh. It gets a lot of hate, but I love me some Olive Garden.

I had Cheddars once and it was pure dogshit. Never again. Logan's Roadhouse is pretty good, Outback steakhouse can be hit or miss, Maggiano's is also pretty good.

So what chain is worse than Applebee's.

I would take all of the aforementioned as much, much better.

Applebees is pure crap. Chili's murders them.

Also, Texas Roadhouse is fucking awesome IMO. I'm stuffed off the rolls and beer by the time the food comes every time.

Oh really. I knew they didn't brew onsite, and they brought it in from a central location, but I thought it was all theirs.

For national chains, I like PF Changs for the Kung Pao scallops and Macaroni Grill for the halibut & risotto.

Does California Pizza Kitchen still exist? If so, they'd probably be my choice. Haven't seen or looked for them in years, though.

Sizzler, John's Incredible Pizza, and Golden Corral, off the top of my head.

They exist here in SA. They remind me of the Panera chain---looks good when I'm ordering but when I get it my reaction is "It's good but I can't believe I waited that long and paid that much for it". But no one else seems to think so.

They are here in Texas wherever malls get big tax breaks to get built.

Have two friends that work/used to work at Red Robins, one in the kitchen. After the horror stories he told me about it I'll never eat there again.

Idiots work in restaurants everywhere, if you or anyone you've eaten with has given the staff a hard time, you've probably ingested spit or worse.

this newer chain has popped up in DFW, its called mellow mushroom I believe. its a stoner based Pizza restaurant. pretty fuckin good although the wait can be 25-30 min. they let you know that upfront tho, everything is hand made and prepared.

This is my favorite in my area. Assuming you mean the Outback Steakhouse.

Contrary to posts 2 and 3, I like Applebees, and don't care for Chilis. At least in my area.

Can someone explain to me what the difference is between Chili's and Applebees? Does one of them use lower quality cheese in their poppers?

For example:

Chili's = hand breaded chicken strips
Applebees = frozen bagged chicken strips

I guess I didn't realize we were talking fast food. Whataburger is definitely tops in that category. Zaxby's is a chicken joint in the Southeast that is ridiculously good...one ups Raising Cane's. Fazoli's is fast food Italian with awesome breadsticks.

But yeah, Whataburger is tops.

AFBlue
01-11-2014, 09:03 PM
Oh and if you're willing to spend $200+ on a date at an a la carte joint, my choice is Morton's of Chicago...best steak I've ever had, great atmosphere, good wait staff (at least in SA).

Longhorn Steakhouse tbh

And I know I'm gonna get scoffed for this but I also like Denny's a lot for some reason too. That meat and potato sandwich they have every once in awhile is godlike imo

Chili's is pretty bomb too for poor ass college students...there's one at school and you can get a pretty decent sized lunch for 6 bucks. Good place to work on shit and munch

I know Mexican will always bring debate, but I love me some Papasitos...too bad it's like $20 for some fajitas.

Not bad choices, although personally I'd ho Saltgrass over Longhorn. I love to people watch at Denny's too tbqh. Another joint like that is Waffle House...good eats and crazy peeps.

It's all about Red Lobster and their Godly biscuits.

Also, the cajun chicken sandwich from Chillis is pretty good.

You should definitely try BJ's. It's a great place for when you want to go out with several people and no one can agree on what they want to eat. The menu is really big, lots of variety----anyone can find something that fits their mood. The bar has decent craft brews and really great cocktails.

I don't think I have ever ordered anything but their pizza and beer. The pizza is too fucking awesome to order anything else.
