Red Lobster (or any Dardin restaurant) Not enough food for the money. I can cook seafood better.
Arby's: Why so expensive? $7 for a basic Arby melt. I used to get 5 for $5 now its $7. Applebee's: Turned ghetto in my area. |

Long John Silvers.
Occasionally, they'll get it right. About a month ago, I got the beer-battered cod. It came out fast and was pretty good. I went a week later and got a somewhat warm, slightly soggy rendition. It's as if the employees wanted me to know how good it could be, just to make the disappointment that much bigger. |

Arbys - Overpriced and deserted
BK - Overpriced, crappy and deserted Denny's - Overpriced, crap food, bad/slow service, lousy coffee and somehow always crowded. Olive Garden - Because everything is crap other than the salad and breadsticks Wendys - Gone to hell since Dave died, even the chili sucks now. Subway - Utter crap compared to their competitors, only their low prices keeps them barely alive McDonalds - Do they do ANYTHING right other than having a dollar menu? Applebees - Worse than Denny's Dunkin Donuts - Donuts are ok, but their coffee is undrinkable...at least to me and they never have decaf ready. |

You can add Quiznos to that list. Now THAT is a place I'm surprised is still open. Last time I went there we went because my aunt had a coupon. $3 flatbread thing that literally was two bites. Still hungry afterwards. Their regular subs were $8. Screw that noise. |

A new Hardee's just opened not far from me. Back in the 80's/90's, I used to consider Hardee's a low rent fast food joint. The new one is clean, has table service, and the burgers have bee vastly improved. Still fast food, but overall, I think it's far better than it used to be. YMMV m Quote HistoryQuoted:

I don't see how subway can stay in business in our area. We have sub shops all over the place that have much better food for the same price.
We got a Buffalo wild wings a few years ago. Their food is absolutely terrible. I'm forced to go there sometimes to watch UFC pay per views. Its ok if you don't buy anything. |

TJIFriday's just plain sucks and it's pricey. I will never willingly go there again. My wife got chicken fajitas there years ago and the peppers and onions were the wettest, greasiest, limpest crap I've ever seen. I told her I wouldn't eat it. It was weird, they weren't cooked to death, the peppers were still vibrant green, but they were limp and greasy.
Applebee's isn't much better. I end up eating there about once per year for one reason or another. For me it's Fiesta "Tequila" Lime Chicken or nothing else. Long John Silver's. I actually hate all things fish, but love shellfish. However, I grew up getting chicken planks from there and loved them. Last year on a trip, I got some and I won't be doing that again. Nasty, cartilagey (is that a word) chicken. Buffalo Wild Wings. Me, my wife, and 1.5 year old daughter went there a few months ago. We got the snack size boneless wings, then next size up boneless wings, a basket of onion rings, two sodas and a kids meal. $50 after tip? Screw that noise. I don't get the hate for Chili's. We have everything but that here. I've enjoyed the food there when I've been traveling. Maybe that's the key. |

Actually I'm surprised any of them manage to hang on . In every area of operation the chain eateries have gotten worse. The quality of the food , the service , the cleanliness of the stores have all slid backwards. When the accountants got their hands on the daily operations it spelled the end . Cutting corners is the name of the game .
This really is the cause of the demise of the retail as well. gd |

Dominos pizza is better than most of the other chain pizza places now. I would have voted Denny's, but there are a few decent menu items and the prices aren't too ludicrous. I vote for all of the sit-down chains that serve shitty reheated frozen food for $10-15 per plate. |
