Grossest American Chain Restaurant

What is the best one for being vegan at?

Ruby Tuesday has a salad bar, some of the other ones might too.

What about for hot food? (I secretly don't really like salad)

you should probably just bring a bag of trail mix or something

Claim Jumpers, by the way, is a

My old boss took us to Claim Jumper's once, so much worse than most of the other choice for two main reasons:

1. Way, way, way more expensive than yr standard Applebees/Chilis shit but almost exactly the same
2. Ridiculous portion sizes even compared to other American chains

did anyone ever explain what the hell Claim Jumpers was

I not only know what one is, I know exactly WHERE one is.

If a sufficient number of people respond to this post - meaning 10 separate individuals - I will go to the Claim Jumper, photodocument, and post about it here.

OR

We could do an LA FAP at a Claim Jumper.

Just sayin'.

post response one: you should go

Also, I still cannot stop reading this as "Clam Jumpers"

has anyone ever been to a Clam Jumpers?

go to Claim Jumpers.

Stuckey's ruled

The "Clam Jumper" joke was one with GREAT staying power among several of my friends who have come out to visit us here in the Golden State. It still comes up from time to time.

GREAT staying power

unlike their food amirite

^^^LOVES Clam Jumpers

is that dude eating a penguin burger

imo this thread just jumped the clam

dude is creepy

none of these places mean anything to me now that chili's has reformulated its chicken fingers but before i could not play so aloof. ruby tuesday's is just a graveyard with self-serve pudding though

the worst is going to one of these in a brand new super wal-mart dress barn asphalt colony and looking out the window at big piles of dirt while you eat your buffalo bbq sliders.

dudes, the count is at two.

Just sayin'.

Denny's makes a great milkshake
that alone should've kept it from losing (winning?) this poll

these are all the same restaurant

I've eaten at all these chains, and the only one I will never go back to is Claim Jumpers.

gross food, uncivilized portions, other?

every time you came back from the bathroom, someone else would be in your chair eating your meal

^^^ I lol'd

would absolutely eat at Roscoe's

it's just "roscoe" cuz the town is called roscoe

I LOVE THE ROSCOE DINER!!!! I used to stop there every time I did the drive from Long Island to the Finger Lakes. :D

Ample Parking

Was actually going to mention it earlier but I didn't think anyone would know it.

Thought I'd posted, maybe to the wrong thread.

I'm still flustered by the fact that there is a subset of chains that are "fancy," especially for people who live in rural areas without a lot of restaurants. A lot of friends have relatives from small towns who always had to eat at Olive Garden or Red Lobster when they went to the big city. Now the fancy place of choice seems to be Macaroni Grill.

would still eat there regardless, although I am now sad that meeting a jovially friendly owner named Roscoe is off the table

it's a great diner, but it's probably better-known for its ubiquitous bumper stickers than its food. (xxpost)

would still eat there regardless, although I am now sad that meeting a jovially friendly owner named Roscoe is off the table

there's still roscoe's chicken & waffles in l.a.

been there, would go again

me too

next time I'm in CA we should have a FAWAC meetup

gross food, uncivilized portions, other?

Giant portions of crap food with this emphasis of "Look how supersized we made THIS!"

next time I'm in CA we should have a FAWAC meetup

Whether Long Beach, Pasadena or elsewhere, I am ALL over the 'Scoe's. Let me KNOW.

a 'dena thing would be fun

Man, I got the Dena plans covered if it comes to that. 'Scoes, followed by Lucky Baldwins.

we might be in LA/pasadena area memorial day weekend, would be up for a FAP.

BLAM, if you're lucky i'll bring some more of that whittaker's chocolate back from NZ (we're going there beginning of may) for you!

I sometimes think of that kiwi/chocolate bar you sent. That was the BUSINESS.

Let me know if you all want to do a Pasadena area fap. I'd be glad to host.

WOW

I've never been to this restaurant -- do people actually clean their plate or is the point that you take half home in a doggie bag? I mean, I am a big eater at times but I don't think I would want to, maybe even physically couldn't, put down 4200 calories at a sitting.

holy shit
