We don't do a lot of big chains, we try to stick with unique and local places when we can.
I never eat at McDonalds and Chick-Fil-A though.
Usually I avoid Taco Bell, but I get bad pregnancy cravings for it! I used to have them for Arby's too, but I got sick off of it during my last pregnancy and haven't had it since.

Y'ALL, how do you not like Ruby Tuesday?! I'm obsessed with their mashed potatoes. And their cheeseburgers. YUM.
We eat at lots of chains, so I'm not really qualified to comment on this thread. I'm such a typical American and I have no shame!

I hate pretty much all of them, although I do have a soft spot for McDonald's fries and Arby's curly fries.
I am always amazed at how much people like Olive Garden, their food is so bland and salty, everything I've ever had there just tastes like overcooked pasta and generic "cheese" flavor.
The only chain I've been impressed by recently was the Uno Chicago Pizza place - their children's menu is really good! You pick your pasta and your sauce and can add as many veggies as you like for free. The food isn't fantastic, but we'll keep it in mind for traveling.

The minute I saw this I thought APPLEBEES. Ugh, so gross. Went there with my husband when I was pregnant and his steak wasn't even thawed. Our mistake for going, we knew how crappy it was but we had a gift card.
Also:
Long John Silvers
Chili's
Burger King
Pizza Hut
Red Lobster
Taco Bell
Longhorn Steakhouse
Denny's
Texas Roadhouse

@BabyMats: the one by us is always packed, like cars in the street trying to turn in. I have no idea why, I don't think the food is anything special.

We avoid most chains, but I got food poisoning at Texas Roadhouse so I will definitely not be going back! A list of chains I do go to would be shorter

I can't eat anything at Chipotle so that's my vote! Everything has cilantro in it.... Even the rice, beans, salsa, guac.... I don't know why everything needs cilantro!

@CottonCandy: yeah, no Moes. I've eaten there twice and both times I thought it was wwwaaaayyyyy overpriced and not good, at all!

Red Lobster! My DH is from upstate NY, and they don't have good seafood there obvs, so they always went to RL for fancy seafood dinners/birthdays/etc, and his childhood nostalgia drags me there sometimes. It's just gross, like fat-gross. They fry broccoli! I am from Louisiana so we always had local seafood and would NEVER go to a RL. I didn't go to one until my late 20s bc of DH and I was just never impressed! It's gross!

Ugh, I'm not a fan of chains and there are so many I won't go to:
Applebee's - every time I've tried it, I've gotten sick
Sonic - had it once and got sick
Chili's
Olive Garden
Red Lobster
IHOP - really don't get the appeal
Cheesecake Factory - I just don't understand the enormous portions

I don't mind most chains and fast food places. However, i really dislike Burger King, Popeyes, Long John Silver, and Olive Garden.

We try not to eat at chains where possible. There are very few that we care for... Maybe chipotle, red robin, and in and out.
