Obviously. McDonalds has items for $1. Fancy restaurants can get over $100 a plate. Yes there is a middle ground man. You really need someone to tell you this?

Uh, yeah. There's a lot of crap like Olive Garden, Chili's, Applebee's, TGI Fridays, ect. Then you can take a slight step up and go to something like Texas Roadhouse or Fuddruckers.

Shit like Applebees and Olive Garden I guess, but you could consider Denny's as a middle point, too. Look for something local. Prices tend to reflect the quality better and the food will beat any chain in the same price-range.

Most Italian restaurants [besides Olive Garden] are de facto mid-tier because of the cost of quality ingredients. My area has a lot of them and I'm in the south.
The vast majority of sit-down restaurants where you order from an actual waiter are mid-tier anyway. And there's fast casual - which is sit-down food that's slightly better than regular fast food. --- I'm like a microphone in that I'm a microprocessor, within a cranium. You must, um, yeah. ...

Well price isn't always indicative of quality once you abandon chain restaurants where the quality is pretty consistent. Outside chains you can over pay for standard food fare or find a place that's hell of good quality at a bargain.

some places are billing themselves as "fast casual dining" these days, but tbh they are basically just fast food They're fast food without the ultra corporate "squeeze out every inch of cheap efficiency" ideology, basically. They serve real food that's affordable instead of junk food for bottom dollar. If you want to eat a decent lunch and have time for more than just the restaurant equivalent of a vending machine, you go to fast casual. --- SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SlG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SlG ...
