UNOs.
Thankfully the one near me suddenly closed this week.

Pizzeria uno? That's some of the best pizza in the world.

Cracker Barrell

What? That's a nice place.

If you think Pizzeria UNO is some of the worlds best pizza, you definitely need to get out more. Out of your city, out of your state, out of your country... go find yourself some truly good pizza. UNOs barely rates.

And Cracker Barrels vegetables are all canned. Fucking terrible food.

I don't think there are any places I would hate...

Not really that picky. I'll eat damn near anything

Dennys and Waffle House restaurants have terrible food and always look trashy.

I fucking love Waffle House.

For once, I'm not going to comment on anybody else's picks

Fast food places I hate:
-Wendy's
-Subway
-Duchess (which I today learned is a chain exclusive to my state)
-Boston Market
-Chik-fil-A (I like that they put their principles over profits, but their food is lousy)

Restaurant chains I hate:
-Olive Garden
-Chicago Uno

tbh, can't think of that many offhand.

Eh?

If it's a matter of acting like it's some great revelation that I live in CT, I should probably remind you that I've mentioned it dozens of times in the past year alone and Whiskey has referenced our shared state as well.

Why am I not surprised that you've been oblivious to this? At any rate, I've lived in 5 states and 3 countries so far so there are a lot of places where you can be surprised and not surprised that I've been.

Holy fuckin shit, no way!

My vote goes to Steak 'n' Shake. I enjoy the food, but the location nearest to me is one of the slowest restaurants I have visited, and, after all these years, the speed has not improved.

Ponderosa for breakfast in Orlando. Everything tasted like reconstituted doomsday prepper food. The guy bringing drinks and clearing tables was amazing though.

Over half of what you all said isn't nearly worthy of hate or really being bad unless they slapped your mom or something there.

If this topic goes on long enough, eventually every restaurant will be named.

I think in-n-out is overrated

I mean in n out is hands down the best burger for the money but do you really hate it?

Explain yourself. That is quality chicken cooked properly.

I think it's a matter of not liking the seasoning they use for the breading... and thinking waffle fries are fucking stupid.

Do some reading about MSG and HFCS.

MSG is not associated with health risks, that is a decades old myth, which makes your post pretty ironic honestly.

Maaaaaannnnnn, sit your fifty year old virgin ass down.

wagamama- overpriced mediocre food.
GBK- foods alright, but again overpriced, cane get a burger just as good for half the price.

The Pantry is fucking gross and the staff seem like dumb hobos that were rounded up...

WTF? Boston Market is awesome! The only thing I hate about them is the fact the closest one is 30 minutes away so I can only get it one or twice a year when I am on that side of town.

I agree, also the few times i've ate there. the chicken was a bit on the dry side.not much, but enough so I didn't consider it worth my money.

Blackjack Pizza
Noodles and company
R Tacos
Las Potrancas (sp?)

I do have a problem with the Sonic and Denny's closest to me but that problem is solved by driving to further locations.

I've had plenty of other isolated issues with pretty much every big restaurant as I seem to have that kind of luck even though I rarely "substitute" or add/subtract items from what's offered.

I really hate the way McDonald's and Subway make me smell after eating from there. That shit lingers the entire day, even after showering.

I'll excuse Subway because it's cheap and not really the worst food for what it is. McDonald's is just literal trash that doesn't even feel like it should be edible.

subway cheap? I haven't ate there in a long time but my mom told me the last time she went they spent something like 20-25 bucks for just two people. and she doesn't eat large meals for example if she where to eat at BK she'd typically order a whopper jr. and medium fries.

I personally don't care for subway because most anything i'd want from there i'd rather just buy the stuff and make it myself. but thats mostly cause when it comes to those types of sandwhiches i'm a simple man, I just want some meat, cheese and mayo. nothing fancy

I don't hate any restaurants, but the only place I will not step foot in is Taco Bell because just the smells made me nauseous (nauseated?). Plus, I generally dislike Mexican food (yes, I'm calling TB food Mexican food).

Tim Horton's pissed me off the one time I ate there because they almost wouldn't give me a refill on fountain soda. I've ordered take out the other few times I've had food from there.

Whataburger

These are fighting words

There are two chains that go by virtually the same name: Whataburger and What-A-Burger. One's on the Atlantic seaboard, the other's in the south in Texas and its surrounding states.

I would think just about any big city would take 30 min to cross since they generally have bad traffic.

there was one place I never went in to just because I feared what it must smell like. it was a KFC Long john silvers combo. or some chicken place and long johns. the smell of fast food chicken and fish mixing together I don't think would be pleasant

Maybe if they're each getting footlong premium subs with extra ingredients, large drinks and chips. My meals are always five dollars.

The last time I ate Subway, which was in October, I had a footlong Italian BMT and a small (I think it's 20oz.) fountain soda. After tax, it was $10.01

I was going to say 30 minutes is quick. Traffic will easily make that trip over an hour.

That seems excessive. Italian BMT used to be my go-to sub. I've gotten that, with chips as well for around 7.

I always get a six-inch cold cut with chips and a small drink and pay a little over 5 dollars.

yeah my mom never gets large drinks. her husband probably did. I doubt my mom got a foot long sub either. only thing I can imagine is she got creative on what it had on it. but me 7 bucks for one person is pushing it on my price limit. 10 bucks fuck no. if I gotta pay that much i'd rather eat at home. i've always been cheap when it comes to eating out. I only really know of one fast food joint i'm willing to pay the higher prices for, and thats because their burgers are actually quality imo. plus they serve cheesy fries. bacon or chilli cheesy fries too if you like those.

Well, I believe the 12" Italian BMT is $7. With a drink pushing $2 (or possibly over $2, as I don't have my receipt), that's $9. And with sales tax being in the 8% range, which most states are at now, that's close to $1, which brings the final bill to around $10. I had a $10 gift certificate from last Christmas still floating around, so you could say that meal cost me a whole 1 cent (which is why I remember the exact total).

Subway isn't cheap by any stretch, unless you mean they're cheap when it comes to giving you meat. Honestly, McD's is probably cheaper than Subway overall.

That and it's usually worse than something you'd make yourself. The bread at many locations -- mostly the mom&pop Indian couples -- is often stale and the quality of meat doesn't seem any better than a grocery store.

If you think that's weird, LJS is also combo'd with Taco Bell. At least with KFC and LJS they're both fried foods...

I love LJS but there aren't that many around any more and their meals are pricier. I think the only one within an hour of me is a LJS/Taco Bell.

You mean the shitty 6-inch sub deal? I don't think my area ones even offer that any more but, even when they did, it wasn't filling by any stretch. Compare that to KFC where their $5 fill-up is an excessive amount of food and there's a survey promo thing where you can get a Go Cup and a large drink for like $2.44 (or you can buy a medium drink which is a little cheaper)

There's this sushi place nearby that fucking sucks shit times infinity. There was a time they accidentally gave me too much nigiri, I wasn't paying attention, and the owner forced the waitress to take it away from me and their defense was that I didn't have to pay for the portion of it I had eaten... They proceeded to give what was left to somebody else.... Fucking gross. So cool, for like $6 worth of nigiri they lost the $40~ month that was being spent there. Fuck those dickwipes, I hope they go bankrupt and get deported.

It is roughly 20 miles away, so accounting for stop lights and traffic pretty much.

But then they'd just walk over our walless border (or sail over it, since they'd probably be coming by sea... or air. We don't have an air wall yet.)
