Some are better than others. None are really “great”. People don’t go there because they are “great”.

“Great” food is still going to be poop in a couple hours.

People don't go there because they are "great".

Yeah. People go there because they are there.

None are really "great"

How many people do you think live close to affordable, five star restaurants? Food snob Freepers should understand that "great" restaurants cost a good deal and don't always give the quality they're promised.

My wife and I go out West frequently and always try to find good non-chain restaurants. Some of the eateries are very good/excellent.

But we've also eaten at some non-chain places which promised great food but weren't much better or better than some chains.

We like a number of chains. On our trips half the places we eat at are chains. We know what we're getting.

Bottom line: I'd rather have very good at a decent price than great at an exorbitant one.

I love brio tuscan grill. It’s a chain

[antidisestablishment]

I go there because they’re there. Good or bad still depends on the owners and management. Many times, good is enough. Good is what makes all those other places exceptional. Chain restaurants even serve a divine purpose: seriously, if we got rid of Little Caesar’s; church youth groups would be decimated.
