Hellobee Boards

Arby's and Fudruckers

So much dislike for those two

TGI Fridays
Applebee's
Denny's
Shoney's
Almost all fast food chains but especially Burger King
Ruby Tuesday
Logan's, Texas Roadhouse...basically all steak chains

McDonalds, Arby's, Long John Silvers, Rally's, Burger King, and a few others that I can't think of off the top of my head.

@grizz: Oooo I forgot about Friday's. Add that to my list.

@IRunForFun: I got mozzarella sticks that were still mostly frozen there one time. The server blew it off, so DH used them as drumsticks to show him how frozen they still were lol. Icy cheese. So gross!

I hate Applebees. Every single thing there is cooked in a microwave with the exception of gilled items such as steak or chicken. I also really dislike Burger King.....I do however LOVE Texas Roadhouse!

@CottonCandy: i loathe applebees too! i would rather go hungry and eat when i get home than eat there. it's gross.

@HLK208: i don' think olive garden is bad, not great, but not bad. the breadsticks are YUM!

I used to like TGI Fridays but when I learnt that they serving rubbing alcohol and dirty water to customers who thought they were paying for top shelf drinks. I refuse to eat there now

I also dont like chili's because of the customer service

I forgot to add, Arby's and Taco bell

We really don't eat at chain restaurants with waitress. Will do Five Guys, Chipotle, Qdoba, and then fast food if we have to grab something on the road, but that that is about it.

Atlanta has WAY too many good restaurants to eat at a chain like Cheesecake Factory.

I don't eat at them often but I don't dislike any!

@HLK208: OMG I LOVE Red Lobster and Olive Garden.
@Mrsbells: when TGI Friday's changed their menu (and got rid of the pumpernickel rolls) that's when we stopped going.
@IRunForFun: No way, why no Friendly's!?! I miss them. They don't have any here in our area.

I don't think there are any chains that I have a ban on, I just try to avoid TGI now...

I like a couple things at Arby's when I'm pregnant- curly fries, jamocha shake!

Olive Garden's pasta is really gross, and pretty much all of their entrees, but I DO still like their breadsticks and salad. Mmmm breadsticks. Now I want to go for lunch!

I don't really particularly hate any others, and don't actively seek them out, either. There are actually a lot of them I've just never tried. Red Robin, though- I do love that one.

I rarely eat at chains to have a sit down meal. I can't stand Applebees...ick! It was always bad, but I feel like it's gotten worse over the years if that is possible.

There are a lot of chains that I don't like but Applebees and TGI Fridays top my list. For fast food, Taco Bell and Burger King top my list of disgusting.

@mediagirl: I guess I don't particularly HATE Friendly's, but in the town where I grew up, Applebee's and Friendly's were like THE places to go after football games and dances and stuff. So it reminds me of HS way too much!! I would actually still eat ice cream at Friendly's, obviously, just not all the fried food I used to eat as a teenager!

Ew. I can't stand Arby's and Taco Bell! Olive Garden is ok. I like some of their soups. I like Chipotle!! It's one of my "go-to" fast food places!

We almost never eat at big chains...once in awhile I'll get Chipotle or Qdoba at lunch, and I kind of like Five Guys and Panera (but not too often), but I honestly don't remember the last time I ate at any other fast food or mid-range chain. We do sometimes go to small/local chains, but they mostly have 2-5 locations rather than hundreds and serve tasty food in a "real restaurant" setting.

Wendy's
Bahama Breeze
KFC
Chili's
Applebee's

@TurtleDoves: Yeah... our OG is crazy crowded ALL THE TIME. Sometimes I'm really in the mood for their soups (looove OG soup and salad and breadsticks!), but no way am I waiting 90 minutes to eat dinner there!

@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Ugh yes, Golden Coral was GROSS! I felt like I was in a hospital cafeteria when I ate there.

@HLK208: We don't go to any chains (wait, aside from Qdoba & Chipotle). I'm gluten-free & dairy free, so chain places are usually really disappointing.
