  - And in n out for the burgers and shakes (forget the fries) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 18, 16:32 4
    - I went to In n Out once and totally did not get the hype. It was a (very) slightly nicer McDonalds. -- nm - pmb Aug 18, 16:35
    - You want Shake Shack for the shakes -- nm - ty97 Aug 18, 16:33 2
      - That's another one I've never tried, so, yes. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 18, 16:34 1
        
        That Anaheim one (black tap?) that budice keeps retweeting looks delicious & is a chain -- nm - Beryllium Aug 18, 16:34

Speaking of In n Out, I'd rather have Jack in the Box or Wattaburger locally. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Aug 18, 16:19 6
- We're blessed with an abundance of Jacks since it was once owned by Purina. -- nm - Baron and Barratry Aug 18, 16:28 1

- Whattaburger is pretty good -- nm - ty97 Aug 18, 16:25 1
  - Whataburger respect respect -- nm - budice Aug 18, 16:25
- We have clone In and Out..called Out and About -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 18, 16:22
Somebody name a good BBQ chain. We don't have *annny* of those -- nm - con_carne Aug 18, 16:15 2

Zaxby's -- nm - ty97 Aug 18, 16:09 4

El Pollo Loco...they had just started in California and I enjoyed them often, marinated chicken fire grilled -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 18, 16:08 1

Huh, not the top of my list but there isn't a Cane's in this state yet. - Tim Aug 18, 16:03
Twin Peaks I spose -- nm* - budice Aug 18, 16:02
Philippes. creator of the French Dip -- nm - Peglegpete Aug 18, 15:50 2
- Not a chain buddy -- nm - con_carne Aug 18, 15:53 1
  - oops!! -- nm - Peglegpete Aug 18, 15:54
Friendly's, just because I haven't been in forever. -- nm - ty97 Aug 18, 15:47 3
- I heard travel was a good way to try new restaurants that aren't Subway. You should give that a try -- nm - con_carne Aug 18, 15:50 2
  - How do you think I know about all these places?!?!? -- nm - ty97 Aug 18, 16:10 1
    - Subway customers you're rubbing elbows with wishing they were eating somewhere else, of course -- (edited) - con_carne Aug 18, 16:27
Avantis. -- nm - Dark Callisto Aug 18, 15:47 1
- Giordanos. -- nm - Dark Callisto Aug 18, 15:47
None. Zero. Zilch. Nada. -- nm - Krusty Aug 18, 15:47 2
- I'm covering your my vote, your vote, dawson's vote, everyone's vote, don't worry -- nm - ty97 Aug 18, 15:48 1
  - I see. You're not getting my vote for mayor now. -- nm - Krusty Aug 18, 16:12
Wawa -- nm - ty97 Aug 18, 15:43 1
- I'd place a vote for Wawa as well -- nm - JD Aug 18, 15:46
We have enough. They always end up coming here! -- nm - con_carne Aug 18, 15:42
Portillos for the love of Pete. - spamlet Aug 18, 15:42 11
- I just read they're about to go public. They will likely expand significantly once that happens. -- nm - pmb Aug 18, 15:52 4
  - *begins drooling uncontrollably* - spamlet Aug 18, 15:56 3
    - Same. -- nm - pmb Aug 18, 16:32
    - They will also lower portion sizes, buy crappier ingredients, and all around become mediocre at best. - ty97 Aug 18, 16:01 1
      - *marge grumble* -- nm - spamlet Aug 18, 16:09
- You can have Carl's Jr. -- nm - ty97 Aug 18, 15:46 4
  - Anyone who still remembers Carl's Jr. is remembering a pre-Five Guys world - con_carne Aug 18, 16:00 1
    - I passed one in Idaho and was like 'oh yeah, they exist' -- nm - ty97 Aug 18, 16:11
  - We have Hardees. It’s been years since I’ve been there. -- nm - spamlet Aug 18, 15:56 1
    - Me neither. All the newer legit burger places ate their lunch, as it were -- nm - con_carne Aug 18, 15:59
- oooooooh -- nm - Tim Aug 18, 15:44
In-N-Out, Torchy's, Chuys, a Chili's in Manhattan for me to loathe and originally get to-go from -- nm - ty97 Aug 18, 15:35 1
- Short Stop though a drive-thru only place doesn't make tons of sense here -- nm - ty97 Aug 18, 15:40
Torchy's Tacos (if that counts as chain). Or Bonefish Grill. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Aug 18, 15:33
In-n-Out just so I could see what the fuss is -- nm - Baron and Barratry Aug 18, 15:29 10
- They're fine. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Aug 18, 16:08
- mass hysteria. -- nm - Reagen Aug 18, 15:59
- don't get the fries -- nm - Peglegpete Aug 18, 15:55 7
  - ok, hear me out: I like their fries! - ty97 Aug 18, 15:59 1
    - You have to eat them immediately. They don't age well, but they're good if you eat them when they hand you the bag. -- nm - jnine Aug 18, 17:36
  - Right? I mean God bless em, they deep fry raw potatoes and are proud of it. You know what? They come out pretty bad! -- nm - con_carne Aug 18, 15:58 4
    - Are they really potatoey, like a steak fry tastes? Because I kinda like that. -- nm - Baron and Barratry Aug 18, 16:12 1
      - Probably too much so. Soggy in the middle and only the ends are crispy. It's like if you tried making them at home for the first time. -- nm* - con_carne Aug 18, 16:21
    - ordered well done helps, but they really do need a new recipe or type of potato -- nm - Peglegpete Aug 18, 16:00 1
      - They're remarkably minimalist -- nm - JD Aug 18, 16:04
Olive Garden -- nm - Beaker Aug 18, 15:26 8
- Aim higher -- nm - JD Aug 18, 15:30 7
  - we like their half priced drinks while waiting for a table when we visit in Florida -- nm - Beaker Aug 18, 15:35
  - Carrabba's or Macaroni Grill at least. -- nm - Baron and Barratry Aug 18, 15:32 5
    - I miss MG -- nm - spamlet Aug 18, 15:44 4
      - MG no good around here. service terrible -- nm - budice Aug 18, 15:59
      - word. I used to have one right up the street from work. -- nm - Jovian Aug 18, 15:54
      - I haven't been to one in....13-ish years? But I recall liking it well enough -- nm - ty97 Aug 18, 15:47 1
        
        There was one right by work. Especially for broke newlyweds it was good value. -- nm - spamlet Aug 18, 15:57
