Of all those, I’ve only been to Denny’s a few times. The rest aren’t close enough to me to make an attempt.

Cracker Barrel has gone down the tubes in the last few years. Much smaller portions and not as tasty.

“since the pandemic accelerated the descent of the U.S. economy.”

Half truth. It did have an impact but Trump repaired this before his term was over. Biden made sure it was wrecked after he took over.

Looks like crappy food and crappy decor are getting whacked.

We only eat at local restaurants, NEVER at chains. Ever.

Out of all of these there were only two that had decent food:

Boston Market

Carrabba’s Italian Grill

The rest were crap food that eating at would potentially result in food born illnesses.

I still remember getting food poisoning from eating at an Applebee’s in Elyria, OH on a business trip thirty years ago.
The issues it was the very first night of a week long trip.
I had to meet up with a customer the next morning. I spent most of the night in the hotel bathroom(TMI).

TGI Friday’s expected me to download a QR code and pay the bill online, manually entering all of my card info. Then they got snippy when I told them my tip was 30% less than I had planned since I had to do some of the work.

Well...bye

Cracker Barrel went all Pride month and doubled down when their actual clientele complained. I haven’t been back. I figure they can just service the gays now.

The only one I ever liked from that list was Boston Market.

I try to avoid chain restaurants and go to local mom and pop spots.

Just a few days ago, with customers still inside. A number of the locations were in urban Texas cities.
 
"Specialty coffee shop and boutique grocery chain Foxtrot abruptly closed all 33 of its locations throughout the United States yesterday, giving little notice to hundreds of employees who are now without work."

I’m guessing that if you took away the ability to be able to use EBT cards, at these chains, many would be able to make a come back.

Just a thought.
