    yeah that counts. white castle is good :)

    Should it really count though? I thought we were talking restaurants not fast food joints, because that would throw this entire thread on its head..

    Yeah, I can see what you mean. It's more fast food then a restaurant. But it's still a chain. :)

    Id say my favorite chain restaurant is either Fuddruckers (those burgers OWN) or Ruby tuesday because their salad bar kicks ass.

    You are right on! Ruby Tuesday kicks total ass. My wife is getting sick of that place, but I seriously could eat that salad bar everyday.

    I'd also vote for:
    In N Out
    Chipotle

    I hate chain restaurants.... but... the outback?

    yummo. sad to say i cannot say i hate this one.

    good drinks... coconut shrimp!!!!!!!!!! ... drovers platter when i feel like being a carnivore... and their caesar salad with shrimp is ALWAYS fantastic. (and yeah... the onion thang a ma jag.... might make you feel like crap as the grease floods over the side of the table... but damn if it doesn't taste REALLY good. :o)

    Red Lobster?

    I'm not a huge fan of chains but I do like On the Border as well as P.F. Chang's. Though I don't know if those are national chains or just in California. :o

    I used to like Macaroni Grill but then they changed their menu a few years ago :mad:

    Outback is good too, but Red Lobster has a special place in my heart as it was the first 'upscale' restaurant my family and I went to when we came to this country..and it was the first time we ate seafood like lobster and crab ;)..and chiqui, they still have the same banging biscuits!!
