Best Restaurants Ranked

This is by JD Power & Assoc.

The Best Chain Restaurant in the U.S.A.
When we go out to eat, we not only want great food, but also excellent service. J.D. Power and Associates did its first ever study of customer satisfaction at national restaurant chains and found that Olive Garden is No. 1 in the West and Midwest with Outback Steakhouse taking the top spot in the Northeast and Carrabba's Italian Grill considered the best in the South.

What makes a customer come back again? It's not the brand image. It's not a propensity to be loyal. It's the customer experience. Here's a quick view of the J.D. Power and Associates' Restaurant Satisfaction Study results, which evaluated customer satisfaction with more than 100 major restaurant chains in the United States. The survey is based on 55,000 customer responses collected over a four-month period.

There is nothing like stumbling into a Denny's at 3 in the morning piss drunk and having some flaming homo serving you bacon, eggs, hash browns and some coffee

Where is White Castle's?

Denny's kicks ass!

Red Lobster in all the top list? That place is terrable. Tinfish I think you make these things up bro. Applebees also sucks.

Hullihans, Cheese Cake Factory, Uno, those are all places much better then the shitty list above.

Funny story my old man (who tends to over react) got us kicked out of olive garden because he starting yelling about them not putting enough olives in the salad. He said it was false advetising...lol crazy old man, so I never actually got to eat their food

Agreed, but they are not national chains.

Yea, there's like a cheesecake factory in every state we sell to. They're up there with outback and red lobster with us. We classify them under our chain accounts.

Yea, we don't sell to them any more. Wonder why?

Saw one of the warehouse boys walking with two 5 liter jugs of cooking wine. I was like, what are you going to do with that. He was like, dude, i'm gonna kick back and party. I say though, wine is probably better to drink than beer or liquor from a health point of view. Only thing I hate, is when they throw these wine tastings on fridays, and i'm like sorry can't do it, until they force me and i'm thinking how i'm gonna puke doing squats later at the gym.

Olive Garden and Red Lobster are both horrible. Arby's is the worst.

This survey is horrible.

Quiznos is good. Carabbas is good. Chick is good.

Quiznos has a bar-b-q turkey chipotle sandwich that rules.
