only been a couple times and I'm glad I didn't have to pay but they do know how to make a steak.



One of my favorite childhood memories was coming to Florida on vacation and my dad taking me to Steak and Shake but now that I live here and can go any time I want it seems to be less interesting. I still like their chocolate malts though.

And for that reason alone I will never pass through any of their doors.

Haven't been in years and now will never go back. Plenty of good expensive steaks around to choose from lol.

that don't marinate their meats in pineapple or papaya enzymes to tenderize them. They get their fine meat the old fashion way: They marry the butcher's sister.

I wish my wife's brother was a butcher.

But he's just a retired office supplies salesman.

superb steak. Though I have never had a better steak anywhere I have been than at Minneapolis' own Murray's.

I am sure there are others, but this is the first that comes to mind.

I only saw one at a mall food court (where they all have prices and menus on the walls). And yes the hipster part is true.

Shoney's, and probably a whole lot of others. I don't get out much.

Go to a lot of the other big chains with my elderly parents, everything tastes like it is a frozen microwave thing...because it is!

Peace

ken, Hooters, Quiznos, Romano's Macaroni Grill, Qdoba, On the Border.

and I have been to many more on this list precisely once, never to return. Some on this list are not in my region.

Sizzler, Applebee's, Red Lobster, Arby's, Togos, Boston Market, and Panda Express. What can I say...I'm too broke/cheap to eat out much of the time.

I don't eat at places where I am allergic to their names.

I made the mistake of eating at an Applebee's once. That was one time too many.

Olive Garden.

Doesn't help that my family keeps kosher.

Qdoba and In-N-Out are the only two I have NOT been to.

As for Shoneys Big Boy, I have been to both Shoney's and Frisch's Big Boys but I never went to a Bob's Big Boy - they were too far west.

The chain I miss the most is Jack In The Box. I know they are terrible but I love their ultimate burger, breakfast jack and super tacos. (They were large super tacos when I was a kid - now they are just 2 regular size tacos but same fried concept and flavor). There aren't any within several hundred miles of me as far as I know.

Haven't been:

Carrabas
Bennigans
Sizzler
Qdoba - I haven't even seen one.

Have been but haven't eaten:

Applebee's
Cracker Barrel
Outback Steakhouse

Have eaten but immediately regretted it:

ChiChis - Gone now
