I notice a lot of people say they don't like Applebees, I swear all the food there tastes the same.

I like more chain food than my food snob/Anthony Bourdain inspired side cares to admit. But even I cannot stand that place.

Tried Longhorn Steakhosue the other day and really liked it

 

[dislaney]

Love- Panera, Pf Changs, In-n-out, Chipotle, Smashburger, Maggiano's

Hate- Olive Garden, Applebees, McDonald's

 

[Mama-san]

Like - Carraba's, Chic fil a, Cheesecake Factory, Cracker Barrell, Red Lobster

Dislike - Subway, Red Robin, TGIFridays

Side note: Not that I neccessarily dislike it, I just don't see what the big deal is about Five Guys. Several local places have better burgers and are much cheaper. Don't need 5 lbs. of fries either.

Favorites - Carrabas, Longhorn, Chilis, Wendys, McDonalds

I love Outback, Panera, and Copelands

I can't stand Chili's or Applebees

 

[Disney Daniel]

Favorites: Pizza Hut, Perkins, Burger King

Least: Red Lobster, Subway

It seems most really dislike Applebee's. I must say, here in Canada Applebee's is pretty good. Nothing award winning or anything, but most people I know like it.

Ditto, I'm also Canadian and I can't say I've heard a bad thing about Applebee's us here.

Two weeks ago I would have said Swiss Chalet, but the last time I ordered I brought up my family's favourite order and the cart was empty, but for one dessert. They had taken everything we liked off the menu!

Pickle Barrel (Southern Ontario only), Wimpy's, A&W and Tim Horton's.

[starwood]

Favorite Olive Garden

I can't stand Cracker Barrel. The food is just disgusting.

 

[Disney Doll]

Favorite is Carrabbas. There is nothing better than arriving in Orlando on a Wednesday late afternoon/ealry evening and hitting Carrabbas near the Premium Outlets for "Wine Wednesdays".

I don't know if I have a "least favorite"....could all serve my purpose if the circumstances warranted although I will say that I have never been in a Golden Corral because there has never been anything appealing about it for me and there were always usually other choices in the vicinity.
