Worst chain restaurant

They are really f'in good. I'm sorry. My friends and I go there up to three times a week.

 

Hooters has food? (I never get tired of that joke).

My first thought on the question was, indeed, Denny's ... and I'm old enough to remember when a lot of them were still Sambo's (no joke). The food is/was like IHOP food sent through Seth Brundle's transporter rig (before he got Geena Davis to eat the steak). The taste was ... off.

My wife and her family are all about the Steak and Shake. I don't get it. The food always seems really dull and tasteless and I hate, hate the fries.

On the other hand, my wife and I share the opinion that Outback's food has gotten better in the last year or two. We're not Blooming Onion people anyway.

I grew up thinking Shoney's was fine dining. I haven't been inside one for a loooong time. I guess I could fix that tomorrow if I wanted.

There are some places where the food is better than it has to be (usually not chains) and places where you'd think the food would be better, given the hype and circumstances. I always think Olive Garden and Red Lobster fall into the later category. I'd be delighted to never eat in either again.

 

I are old white man! I make roolz how world works!

Seriously, you sound ridiculous.

 

I don't "sound" anything on a message board. You seem naive. And, well, like a child. So I suppose I do seem old to you.

 

Just catching up on the fun. The wife and I went to dinner tonight at a nice mom and pop Italian place.

Food was great. Service was great. Price was great. Waitress had a nose piercing.

 

I don't know, I'm kinda with Frank. It has nothing to do with who looks like me (God help them if they do, in that case) or who chooses to do what with their body. I have a tattoo that's hidden unless I roll up my sleeve.

I'd just prefer not to see a nose ring on someone that's serving me food. Nothing more, nothing less.

Chortle away.

 

If it makes you feel better, you also sound like an asshole.

And for all your talking about "growing up," well, I gave up caring what football coaches thought of what I looked like in roughly the tenth grade.

But you stick with that "it's how the world works" argument. It puts you on such great sides in history.

 

Hooters does suck.

Overpriced. Menu is blahhh..... wings are nasty tasting. Tyson's taste better when I microwave them.

Did I mention overpriced?

Papa Vino's has a shit menu.

Again, Denny's blows- never have what I want to order, dirty, bad service, more dirtyness....

Quizno's- All the subs are nine dollars and only have the following ingredients : meat, ranch, bacon, cheese on bread.

p.f. changs- lets pay $8 for two egg rolls, and $28 more for two dinners that cost 4.99 each at any other Chinese restaurants. The place is so overdone.

 

Dissing Pizza Hut is a bit unfair. What other chain pizza place actually has a dining room? Not Papa Johns, not Dominoes, not Little Ceasers.

 

Let's play fun with Frank's logic!

Circa 1970:

Circa 1950:

It's amazing!

 

Henry, second on Steak and Shake, with a story that will make other patrons think twice.

Only time I've been there, a mosquito in infant stage crawled out of the straw in my shake. That was it for me.

 

Zeke, you are bugged about it because deep down you know it's true. It's not the way you want the world to be, but that's how it is. And you think it will change? It won't. I had high hopes for my generation, too, but now I have to listen to conservative rhetoric from people whose hair was even longer than mine once upon a time. The guy in the mosh pit next to you will seal up that extra hole in his nose within 10 years. They always do.
