Worst chain restaurant

[Nate the Grate]

For me, it's a toss up between Friendly's and Applebee's. Friendly's is incredibly slow, tastes like shit, and is expensive for what you get. The service is a joke, which is kind of ironic given its name. Applebee's is just plain bad. The food is utterly gross, and the portions are tiny...not that you'd want to eat a lot of that crap.

Denny's has that late night emo thing going against it, however.

I wish that I could post more options, such as Olive Garden (not that bad), Outback Steak House (decent), Rainforest Cafe (shit), Macaroni Grille, or Shoney's.

Also, sorry if any of these are regional places. I'm not sure about the Ground Round.

Hooters - tits and ass for the whole family.

[Eulogy]

applebee's is a guilty pleasure of mine

hot boneless buffalo wings and an order of fries.

nice.

[Sepiae]

You pared down the list.

[Nate the Grate]

There was a limit of 12

[Geek USA]

Applebee's = disgusting.

[ravenguy2000]

Of that list, Friendly's, but that's only a Northeast thing.

I would say Olive Garden is worse than all of these.

[mpp]

applebees is some real nasty shit

but some of restaurants are great...ie, red lobster

j/k
































except for the fucking cheese biscuits...god's gift to man

[waltermcphilp]

applebees chicken alfredo bowl is my fav.

[ravenguy2000]

And I also genuinely like 99, Chili's, and Crackerbarrel.

"Uncle Vinny came to visit from Sicily and we took him to the Olive Garden. The next day, the family car exploded."


And I'm not ashamed that I am willing to go to Red Lobster once a year or so just for those fucking biscuits.

i really can't participate in this thread because i pretty much eat and enjoy anything

except, you know, vegetables, and shit like that. i don't get steaks at places like this because they're bad. but if i get some chicken or a burger with cheese and some type of sauce smothered all over it with some salty fries....i mean, you can't really fuck shit like that up.

i like the appetizers at applebees, but thats it....their steak is so nasty, last time we got it there was a huge purple tendon thing in the middle that was like, half of the nasty little steak and it jiggled and wouldnt cut out, i almost hurled watching the struggle to yoink it out...ughh.....but the boneless wings and um...chips and salsa are good. and yeah. thats really it.

sizzler is the worst ugh..

[You Said]

wtf is the Ground Round.

[Nate the Grate]

I should add, for impartiality's sake, I love Ruby Tuesday.

I like going for the salad bar at lunch but it's my experience as soon as the waitress knows you're just getting the salad bar she'd just assume shit on your plate than get your some drink refills without you begging first.

the ground round is filthy.

how could you vote against dennys? i love that place

[Tchocky]

I voted Hooters, but that's only because of their prices and their schlock. Their food ain't half-bad. I probably should have voted for Applebee's.

This was my childhood.

That fucking clown scared the shit out of me. It made balloons that I did not find amusing.

The saving grace was the little baseball cap that the ice cream came in. I still have a bunch of those in my kitchen that I use to put Cheez-Its in.

[Boycott Graceland]

dennys. a lot of them, especially the ones that are the only 24 hour game in town, have two sets of menus. they bring out the late night menus at like 10pm and charge people a couple dollars more for pretty much everything.

[Trotskilicious]

chili's "southwest flavor" must be a hilarious joke I don't get

[Trotskilicious]

bennigans should be on that list, the food is horrible.

[skippy]

Olive Garden is the worst if only because they act like they're serving authentic, Old World Italian fare when in fact it's more like Chef Boyardee bullshit. At least there is no such pretense when you go to slop houses like Applebees or Friendly.
