The Golden Corral has to be the worst food joint on the face of the earth, I wouldn't feed that crap to my dogs.

souplantaion: $11 for salad with no protein anywhere.

i thought everybody already knew applebees sucked

Their entree offerings never really captured me, but I really enjoy their salad bar.

Used to be turned off by Cracker Barrel [too many tiny, cold entrees came my way], but they've improved quality in recent years.

I don't know how highly they're rated by others, so I can't comment on OVERated, but O'Charley's has never impressed me at all. Yet they continue to do business.

I say Outback especially considering the price you pay for shit there.

Good one, meaning you're right to choose it, not that it's one good restaurant.

Bite your tongue. Chili's is a masterpiece of good food at a good price. Their chicken crispers are the Mona Lisa of ... fried chicken nuggetylike things.

Denny's is garbage too.


Worst breakfast joint.

I was afraid I'd take a beating for not liking Golden Corral. I'm surprised that other folks are agreeing.

How can any of these places be overrated? Nobody claims they're any good.

I'm going to catch hell for this, but Strouds is overrated. Gibson's in Chicago is also overrated.

Bingo, never ate at Chilis though

Yup The Salad bar is good especially them brown croutons but everything else I have eaten there sucks to me

I can't eat them anymore but their pancakes used to be good when I did

Agreed, however i've seen hayseeds get dressed up to go to Red Lobster, Olive Garden, etc.

Shoneys was always over rated to me, They would sell all you can eat shrimp, 5 on the plate you order and then when you re-order, they would bring you 3 more

PF Changs

Yeah, "overrated" is a tricky term. I guess I was thinking that it wasn't necessarily based on culinary reviews but more on popularity. If lots of people go there and it's not very good, it's overrated, at least on a value scale.
