Restaurants?

[kdefrisc]

Favorite? or other favorite restaurants?

I'm aware that there are much better restaurants that are not national chains, but I thought that would be too narrow of a poll. Feel free to post favorite local restaurants as well. For me it would be Chez Panisse in Berkeley.

I thought it might be interesting to hear some people's favorites, could generate a good list for traveling.

[nonamesleft]

Never been to any of those.

[Indoor Living]

Never been to any of those.

[BulleTheory]

Never been to any of those.

[tonyC4L]

[bstthngunvrhd7]

Chainwise?--Eithe Sonic or BDubs
Smallish--Sanfratellos (though they have multiple locations around IL/IN)

[Machu505]

Never heard of any of those.

[Broden Terry]

I'm doubting whether we have those here. My favorite restaurant would have to be Lloyds.

[TangledUp]

Cheesecake Factory has horrible food (but delicious cheesecakes) and Wisconsin sucks so bad we don't have any of the other restaurants listed.

[tiannaj23]

Pf Chang's!!!

[fightinirish217]

La Cocina (Mexican place in my hometown)

I do love Chili's/Friday's/Applebee's.

Don't think I've ever been to any of the ones in the poll.

[TotalCollapse]

Rain Forest Cafe, sub-par food but the animatronic jungle creatures and fake rain make for a great dining experience!

[tonighttonight0]

I don't know what BJ's is but it sounded good so I voted for it

Its possible they are more prominent in CA, I was surprised most people hadn't heard of any of these.

I KNOW there are cheesecake locations all around (yes, I read the locations listed on the bag).
It's just so popular round these parts...then again I'm sure many are clueless as to the greatness of In-N-Out as well.

Yeah thats true, I tried to pick 4 restaurants that are national chains, but maybe they aren't so prominent in all states. California being as large as/larger than most countries might have something to do with it.

[queenofcrouton]

Cheesecake Factory is the only one I've been to of these.

[dpetty21]

Only heard of Cheesecake Factory so I picked it. It was pretty delicious the one time I ate it. Big everything it seemed.

[jeremypeele]

[The Summer Ends]

texas roadhouse or any other similar steakhouse

nothing is better than a medium rare steak

[Theseventhson]

Maoz or ZiZi's.

[tttygxlove]

I wish I could have Benihana's shrimp sauce fed to me through an IV.

[Nick Hull]

I'm a sucker for Red Robin.
chocolate milkshake, win.

[JustAnotherPoet]

I went to a Ruth Chris in Chicago and had the best New York strip steak ever, which says a lot when you grew up in Nebraska.

[nashiscash1324]

Out of the choices given...BJ's takes the cake. The pizzas are so freaking delicious.

[Kevin Lazaroff]

pats or tenth av
hell yeah! Pat's, Gino's, and Jim's!!!

[briewer]

Wendy's.

[neverenoughhaha]

Swenson's
you northeast Ohio people know what I"m saying

[Animalhill]

My area has none of these restaurants. This, however, is to be expected.

[abbysmith]

Is BJ's even considered a restaurant? I may be thinking of the wrong place, but I'm pretty sure that is a store similar to Wal-Mart.

[Neo Cassady]

Cheap: Jimmy John's
Pretty Cheap: B-Dubs
A Bit More: Applebee's
A Lot More: Paesano's in Oxford. Or probably most hole-in-the-wall Italian places.

[JordanBuell]

tgi fridays.

Cheesecake Factory for special occasions because it's expensive. And Chili's for an any day kind of thing.
