I've eaten at most of those once. The reason I tried so many is because after one experience I said, "never again", so I tried another. Never been to a Hooter's, Red Robin or a Cheddar's.

I can say the rest of the list sucks so bad I'd rather takes my chances with local joints (even if they suck) or just head for the border and get a known shit meal at Taco Bell without the upcharge for fast casual when the food still sucks just as bad.

I've learned from over the years on these threads that where the chain is located makes a huge difference. In my area, Applebee's was so pathetic, I had a better burger from a gas station that sat under the warmer too long. However, and friend made me retry it and it was better. The TGIFridays in my town was also complete shit, but at least it wasn't Applebee's level. However, our Chili's is pretty fucking awesome for what it is (chicken fried steak is awesome and the fajitas, etc.). However, when you go to a shitty Chili's, it's almost as irredeemable as my opinion of our shitty Applebee's. It really depends where you are even if it is a chain. You can still fuck up, or do really well, when you make frozen food.

all these places are shit tbh, maybe Outback and Benihana is okay but it's nothing amazing. It is better than everything I see here though so that part is accurate at least. Never ate at Bonefish and few others on this list but I don't think I want to if it's ranked with these establishments.
