America's Best Restaurant Chains
 

From Consumer Reports with 50,000 responses...

First Watch and Le Peep started locally. IMO they both do it right.

What we found

Nine chains earned especially high marks across the board for the seven attributes in our Ratings—taste, value, service, mood, noise, menu, and cleanliness—and were praised for menu variety, cleanliness, and a lack of noise. They were:

Biaggi’s Ristorante Italiano, focusing on big portions and personal attention.

Black Angus Steakhouse, for flame-grilled steaks with an “over-the-campfire flavor."

Bob Evans, for breakfast and homey fare.

Bravo Cucina Italiana, for “upscale affordable dining” in a “Roman ruin” décor.

First Watch, for eggs, pancakes, and sandwiches.

J. Alexander’s, for American classics, sandwiches, salads, and specialties such as grilled fish with mango papaya salsa.

Le Peep, for eggs, crepes, and salads.

Elmer’s, for pancakes and comfort food.

Fatz Eatz & Drinkz, for grilled or fried sandwiches, entrées, and finger foods.

I have only heard of Bob Evans.

I must admit I've only eaten at three of these. Maybe a restaurant search is in order.

Same here. I thought I would probably be the only one living under a rock.

They forgot to include Denny's on the list.

Le Peep...overpriced for what you get, come on it's ****ing eggs!

J. Alexander's ...overpriced. I can go to Texas Roadhouse and get the samething in bigger portions for 1/2 the money

I think there may be an east coast bias here, I live in AZ and all we have is black angus and
they suck

Never heard of a lot of those....Fatz?

A lot of them are still regional. I've only seen Bob Evans in a few areas.

You lost me when you left off Go Chicken Go!

Texas Roadhouse is disgusting. Worse than Outback Grill is such a thing is possible. J Alexanders is good and not that pricey.

Texas Roadhouse has to make the list.

First watch is good but it used to be better. Most of those I haven't heard of. Chipotle's is probably the only place I ever go in the fast food market with rare exception.

LMAO

Next up Olive Garden and Red Lobster.

ROFL @ Black Angus

**** Bob Evans. Got food poisoning from their CoMo location. I used to enjoy it; but it's pretty much like eating in a nursing home.

Le Peep was surprisingly good the few times I've been there. And I'm generally an anti-breakfast dude. Hate spending good money on ****ing eggs, bacon, and toast. But I'd go to Le Peep again.

Bravo is pretty good. Beats the shit out of Olive Garden; which is where my girlfriend would go every time she had the craving for Italian food if it weren't for me.
