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

I must be living under a rock because I haven't heard of any of them either. Must be a coastal bias thing.

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

Other than Black Angus, I've never heard of any of these restaurants, but have you ever eaten eggs at Denny's?

I mean, come on, it's just eggs, right?

I disagree with this statement, but I guess it proves why shitty chains are so popular - people either don't know the difference or they don't care.

Be fair, though, JA's is way better than Texas Roadhouse.

J. Gilbert's is a better version of JA's though (and owned by the same people, I think).

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