I hate Red Lobster. I went there once during some sort of all you can eat shrimp deal and could only choke down about 4-5 shrimp.

I hate Pizza Hut. Mostly i hate them for their crust. I don't like the way that they butter the bottom of it.

How in the world did Sizzler not find a way onto this list? Is it not a national chain?

I was in Reno recently and asked a client where he wanted go go for lunch. His reply? Sizzler

Not only was the food bad, I couldn't believe the price. For lunch for the three of us the bill was about $75. For Sizzler!

I agree! Like Pizza isn't greasy enough. I also don't like how their crust is all spongy.

Sizzler makes me sick as does any of the public salad bar places. I hate Soup Plantation and Sweet Tomatos as well

Agreed. You think soda fountains have fecal matter, someone should run a test at a sizzler salad bar. And I will forever blame a pre game meal at Sizzler for our loss in the CIF playoffs, so I could be biased.

I dislike the majority of Filipino food so much that when I'm in Manilia I am a regular at Chili's, Fazoli's, McDonalds, TGI Friday's, Outback Steak, Tony Roma's and Califorina Pizza Kitchen. When I'm in the US I almost never eat at any of these places. Americans have way too many choices and even the crappy ones are better than the majority of "good" Filipino food.

Too true. The few times I ate Taco Bell on my mission in Guatemala, I thought I was in heaven.

I don't know how Applebee's doesn't make this list near the top.

I was just getting ready to add this one to it.

I'll throw a vote in for Olive Garden.

I'll confess to being a fan of Chili's, but that is mostly because I can't get the Chips N' Salsa I really want around here very easily, so they are my choice by default.

Since Arbys was thrown in there, I must add KFC to the list. Why anyone would eat there, ever, is beyond me.

...and how about a few breakfastee type places. Pass on Dennys, pass on Silver Diner.

Yes! I heart their chips and salsa. Good call. Everything else... BLAH....

If price compared to quality is a factor, the Cheesecake Factory deserves a vote. That place is barely about Applebees IMO but probably twice as expensive. I hate that place.

Oooohhh... Ouch. That one hurts us...

I'm beginning to agree. Except when it comes to their avocado egg rolls. Yum!

Agree on price >>> quality and the wait is always ridiculous. Whenever, I'm in a city with a CC I will go get a slice or two of cheesecake for take out. My wife also orders me one every year on my birthday. She claims it is for me, I think she is just trying to get of of baking me a cake.
