Chili's vs TGI Friday's vs Bennigan's vs Applebee's

I prefer chili's overall but the deep fried sandwich at Bennigan's is very nice!

The Monte Cristo?

 

yeah

Plus they are open much later.

 

Cheddar's, obviously, but out of the list, I'd rank them in this way

Chili's
Bennigans
Fridays
Applebees

 

T.J. O'Pootertoot's.

 

I've never had worse service in my life anywhere than Applebee's....on multiple occasions. I never go back. They have some system where the person who takes you order sends it to the kitchen by computer...the person who brings your meal to you is not your waiter. So there's no accountability in the middle if they botch it. Both times I went, they lost our order somehow. It was lost in limbo. We didn't see our waiter for the longest time. Spoke to the manager both times....both times they offered us nothing more than a free dessert. No more Applebee's for the MadMax family.

Of the ones listed, Bennigan's is my favorite, simply because there are more choices I enjoy. My wife and older son would choose Chili's off the skillet queso, alone.

 

Chotchkie's
The pieces of flair really add something

 

I'm eating 1000 calories a day right now. It's been working; I've lost like 10 lbs in 2 weeks. But all of those places are KILLERS for me.

And I rank Friday's at the bottom because of those awful commercials. I swear this man is gay.

And, YES, I know he has a wife and two sons. But that didn't stop my old roommate's dad. He had a wife and three sons. And now, he has a husband!
