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 agree here, but normally you talk out of your ass.

But yes, I agree. Houstons is where it's at. Try their pineapple ribeye, then return here, w/ a full report-card.

Disgusting might be overstating it, but Dave Lane is closest to the truth here. Longhorn >> Texas Roadhouse

Longhorn gets its beef from the same buyers as Capital Grille. You're getting nice quality for basically the same price that you'd eat at some bullshit place like Chili's or TGI Friday's (or, if you will, the disastrous steakhouses Outback or Texas Roadhouse). I have no qualms with eating at Longhorn, and I'm typically a big eat-local guy.

Their definition of chain is pretty liberal.

If you have 3 locations, it's OK to consider you a chain. Maybe even 2 locations.

Besides, there are tiers of chains. There's local chains, regional chains, and national chains.

I don't disagree that it's a valid definition- just seems odd to include so many small ones in an article that's theoretically national in scope.
