They made a funny joke about them in the movie Idiocracy, they thought they’d be around forever; Evolution of Fuddruckers

teawrecks,

They’re still around aren’t they? What am I missing?

ohlaph,

I think they closed many of their locations, so for some people it gives the illusion they do not exist.

Burninator05,

There is still one where I am. It’s on the edge of an outdoor mall near a movie theater. Placement wise it’s probably about as good as you can get.

Lazerbeams2,

Tbh, the only chain I eat at is a local chain that would tell anyone that recognizes the name more or less where I live. They make really good burgers

Gatsby,

Jones’ barbeque and foot massage?

TheButtonJustSpins,

Elevation Burger? I miss that place so much.

Jason’s Deli has yet to disappoint me. It is not high-end cuisine, but they serve good food with consistent quality. They also have enough variety that almost anyone can find something.

El pollo loco

ohlaph,

Din Tai Fung and Kizuki Ramen are my top chains.

weksa,

I always catch myself about to abbreviate it DTF, and then I type out the entire name.

I miss Quiznos.

I don’t know if they are completely out of business, but they sure as shit don’t operate anywhere within 100 miles of where I live anymore.

Their ribeye steakhouse sub was the best fucking thing ever.

Literally the only chain I would recommend. Everything else I love is mom&pop local dives and taco trucks.

revlayle,

IIRC, Company Man on YouTube had a video on the rise and fall of Quiznos

weksa,

Ruth’s Chris. Best ribeye I’ve ever had at a chain restaurant. Also the most expensive. It’s the only restaurant ribeye that has never disappointed me.

AceFuzzLord,

If we’re talking cheaper food but still pretty good quality, I’m going with Perkins.

My brother has told stories of other people he knows and have worked with (around his age) kinda equating and thinking of Perkins as more of an elderly people restaurant, which I could see.

angstylittlecatboy,

Papa John’s. Far and away the best chain pizza, and the biggest topping selection of any pizza restaurant I’ve seen. I’d still say local pizza is usually better though, but Papa John’s is good enough that if I don’t want to fret over where I’m getting pizza from it’s my pick.

cccc,

I love Sukiya. Unfortunately I do not live in Japan.

cwagner,

Technically, Mugg & Bean from South Africa. But that’s the chain they used to be, they changed their menu in major ways at some point between 2019 and 2023, and now it sucks :(
