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

Re: Top 5 Chain Restaurants
There's no way Buffalo Wild Wings' beer selection makes up for their lousy food. You could microwave better food.

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

Re: Top 5 Chain Restaurants
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.@SkitchP wrote:vegman wrote:There's no way Buffalo Wild Wings' beer selection makes up for their lousy food.

Re: Top 5 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.Orpheus wrote:I had no idea this was a chain.E.H. Ruddock wrote:Mellow Mushroom for me. at least 40 beers on tap at any given time and decent food.

Re: Top 5 Chain Restaurants
Wild Wings is truly terrible. You pay for the atmosphere/tvs. They skimp on everything else, especially the food.
