Yum.


My grandparents moved out to Monaca like 5 years ago when they moved back from FL. God that place is such a hell hole. I dread going out there.

According to Wikipedia, Chi-Chis went under September 18, 2004

[Rodey]

All of the Chi-Chi's here basically turned into a place called Pedro's, which is essentially exactly the same.

Think there's only one around now.

Appleebees
Red Lobster
TGIF
BWW
O' Charleys
Olive Garden
Cracker Barrel
Chilis
Outback

Don't think I've been to any of the bold in the past decade, and it has been a few years since I was at a BWW or OG.

Only reason I ever go to Chilis or Outback is when I go out with my dad. They're both alright.

[fridge112887]

If you shit on Chipotle yet accept BWW as anything but piss poor dog food, then I question you're well-being.

Tasted bland to me. They didn't even have chipotle sauce wtf?

Everything about Moe's is better.

[recentlyJTR41]

That cheese platter thing at BWW's is fire though

[TheLastPig]

Says chipotle is bland but thinks Moe’s is better

[tyler3440]

Bdubs is the best thing on the list because I like wings and beer better then over cooked burgers, over cooked steak, garbage sea food, and shitty Italian. Cracker Barrel is also pretty good and comes in at second.

Thinks Chipotle is better than Moe's

Moe's isn't bad man. Honestly, I think both restaurants are pretty over priced

They don't

It's in people's heads

[tyler3440]

Recently, what's the deal with you and Olive Garden? Seriously dude, you need to exapand you Italian taste buds man. I'm sure ATL may have some decent Italian food or maybe not but have you atleast tried carrabba's? I feel like that chain is much better then Olive Garden if you had to get chain Italian food.

[RiotAct]

re: Moe’s vs Chipotle... I also prefer Chipotle, but can see how some people would be turned off by the cilantro that’s mixed in. Plus, Moe’s has never had rodents falling from the ceiling.

Woah, who does this? I've had my share of bad food at some of my favorite places but that doesn't mean they're all that way.

Cracker Barrel, along with Chipotle, are the clear winners here, Tyler. Accept it.

Some nasty ass chain. Seriously, fuck that fucking place. When I first went to the local one about 2009ish it was ok. I got chicken tenders and it came out in a huge portion but the quality of the tenders wasn't that great. Over the years it got worse and worse and the service was some of the slowest and rude and dumb people. We stoped going and eventually it got shut down for having a drug operation going in the back. And it wasn't like our local Chedders was in the ghetto. It was in the suburbs but they hired the worst people

[fridge112887]

Olive Garden used to be the place to go for Italian or when you were going on a date your sophomore year of high school. As an adult, I'd be embarrassed to step foot in that establishment. With that said, I'm cool with Fazoli's

[mthawk07]

Olive Garden was definitely one of those hallowed grounds kinda places when you were young. Once you hit adulthood, you conveniently forget how much you used to love it as a kid.

Breadsticks and salad are still the best, though.

From the original list I would say TGIF, outback and Applebee's all have bland burgers that are overpriced. Sure I get that outback is a steakhouse but I can't imagine the steak is better then say longhorn and longhorn was pretty terrible.
Outback does have great blooming onions tho. Last year we had a coupon for them that we must have gotten in probably 04 and they accepted it haha. So I got great blooming onions for free along with a terrible overcooked burger.

I like cracker barrels food but I hate the atmosphere. The closest one is in a place called Pearl, MS where its So trashy and Country as hell, and that store is actually a great rep of the actual redneck and white trash people that eat there. I hate the atmosphere at Cracker Barrel and the crackers it's made for. Food good tho.

They use chipotle peppers in some of their meat marinades.

[tyler3440]

Fuck you Panda Express too! It's run by a bunch of fucking whites and everything tast fake.

I'll eat at any fucking shitty hole in the wall Chinese place over Panda Express. Sure, Those aren't the best eaither but it beats the living shit out of Panda fucking Express.

Anybody have PF Chang's? I'll admit I have had better Chinese food by far but I like to sit down in a nice fancy place every now and then. Atleast the one close to where I grew up is pretty fancy.

I was just using it as an example since it was a topic of conversation.

Cracker Barrel is a bit too country for me but I'm not there to glamour over the decor. I'm there for their middle of the road comfort food. Isn't Mississippi "so trashy and country as hell" anyways? If so, I'd expect such in a Cracker Barrel.

Well it depends on where in MS. I grew up in the Jackson suburbs. Most of the Jackson suburbs are defently not trashy except for the one town Cracker Barrel is in. It's just makes it worse haha

[scrock25]

Every single CB in the country has the same exact decor in the same exact places in their restaurants.

This isn’t true at all, but here are some fun facts:

Panda Express is run by whites, and PF Chang’s is a “fancy” restaurant.

Lol lol

Tyler gotta Tyler.

[BTCS_JTR]

I love Moe's salsa bar.

I would call it upscale especially compared to a typical Chinese place.
https://m.yelp.com/biz_photos/p-f-ch...RXYCes2fX_PR2A

Both places I have eaten at. Full Kee is much, much better but it's alos a much more dirty hole in the wall. Damn I love it tho

[TheLastPig]

Lol dude no chain restaurant in any manner can really be considered “upscale”.
