fuck the melting pot

[Norah]

where else would you go on a big night out?

[BDB]

Chilis is shit

[vegman]

I like carrabas and panera for lunch. Buffalo wild wings and pf changs are absolute shit.

[@SkitchP]

I would take Bravo! and Buffalo Wild Wings (beer selection reasons only) over any of your top 5.

[vegman]

There's no way Buffalo Wild Wings' beer selection makes up for their lousy food. You could microwave better food.

[Dr. Van Nostrand]

fuck the melting pot

melting pot is bad? there is one about an hour up the road from us that we have been considering going to for a while

Which can also be said about his top 5, which offer their Top End Beers like Killians!

Well, I guess it depends on whether or not you choose your chain restaurants for the food or the beer. I hardly ever eat at chain restaurants. My wife's family loves Carabba's and I always like it when we go, I just order wine. I'll grab lunch at Panera's if I'm on the road and it's cheap and pretty good. I used to have clients who work across from Buffalo Wild WIngs when it was still in North Buffalo and every time I offered to treat for a happy hour, that's where they wanted to go. That's about all the chain restaurant eating I do. When I'm looking for good beer I head to a gastropub for the best of both worlds.

Mellow Mushroom for me. at least 40 beers on tap at any given time and decent food.

[nah]

i would never eat at wild wings because i can't stand their lame commercials. chilis fajitas are good. i really dont eat at chain restaurants.

I didn't either. We have two here in the area. When I read this thread I decided to look it up to see where else they had restaurants, and was surprised to see so many. The local one here has "takeover" nights on their taps, they just recently had a Founders one and also a New Holland one. Hoping for a Victory or Bell's takeover soon.

it's not bad, but it's overpriced.

Ah, well ill be ok with that for a special occasion, since it is an hour away it won't be a regular place for us.

Wild Wings is truly terrible. You pay for the atmosphere/tvs. They skimp on everything else, especially the food.

[The Argonaut]

The only one I can think of is the 99 Restaurant.

[Norah]

The 9s, as I like to call it.
