Best Casual Dining Restaurant Chain

i wish there was a cracker barrel or an old country buffet in downtown manhattan

Bob Evans, because I'm confusing it with Bob's Big Boy.

This poll is all over the place! The difference between a Coco's and a Hard Rock Cafe can be enormous. (Or 15 variants of that example, at least).

we used to go to this place where kids could eat for free if you let the manager "tickle" you

Wait, seriously? Please tell more about this.

Anyway, another vote for CPK for awesome salads. Even though, again, this poll should be broken down into like 4 or 5 different polls.

(^^^Ban Self)

i have a horrible soft spot for those never ending bread sticks at the olive garden.

CPK has always had soggy wet pizza every time I've eaten there. but their frozen pizzas are alright.

we ate at denny's on our wedding night (because the hotel didn't have room service after 11pm and it was the only place open). it was gross.

Does American Cafe really still exist?

The 99 in Charlestown has been the site of a mob murder or two over the years. I can't really imagine going to it. On the other hand, I have spent my share of time at 99s in Danvers, Marlborough, etc. and usually find them to be OK.

Of the places actually on the poll I may have had the best meal at Chili's. Bertucci's is known to do the job as well......def. NOT Friday's.

Is P.F. Chang's worth going to under any circumstances?

ring the bell for Famous Dave's

Does American Cafe really still exist?

It does! For now. I'm completely addicted to their spinach con queso.

The TGI Friday's in West Orange, New Jersey is the single worst restaraunt I have ever been to in my life. Avoid at all costs.

cheesecake factory is some nasty, awful shit

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Dark horse Famous Dave's!

abstentions win in a landlside!

I was in Minneapolis last weekend for the first time in almost two years, and I bought a copy of Mojo magazine and drove to the Famous Dave's in Linden Hills and sat there with a pulled pork sandwich and fries (no drunken apples this time) and enjoyed the hell out of it.

I just noticed that Fuddruckers is missing. They still around?

if you have to ask...

I worked as a waiter in a Ground Round once. Peanut shells everywhere.

A Fuddruckers opened on the main drag in Madison last year and closed about nine months later, unmourned.

Eazy, that Dave's is the one my mom goes to.

Swiss Chalet blows all these out of the water.
