Name a major restaurant chain that you have never visited / spent money in.
Edited on Wed Feb-28-07 02:29 PM by Zavulon
Me:

White Castle (I would, but none in my area)

Taco Bell (I have actually entered a Taco Bell to use its bathroom, but have never eaten there.)

Cracker Barrel

Whatever those "Big Boy" restaurants are called

Olive Garden (try not to hijack the thread, folks :rofl: )

IHOP

TGI Friday's

I regret that I can't add McDonalds or Burger King to the list. Sbarro's, too.

2. You just reminded me...
...by mentioning Ruby Tuesday, which I have visited, you reminded me that I've never been to a TGI Fridays. Time to edit my original post. :)

There's one in Decatur, Illinois, my hometown. When I go down to visit my family, I sometimes request that we go there for dinner. :-)

20. Meh.
It's good if you've got money burning a hole in your pocket, and you want huge greasy portions of something.

6. Red Lobster
Edited on Wed Feb-28-07 02:32 PM by Gatchaman
They're always too crowded, and to be honest, it doesn't look that good (not a big seafood fan).

I also have never been to White Castle, In-and-Out, Jack In the Box, or Sonic, but that's because of geographic constraints, not choice :( Of corse, we only recently got an IHOP in this area, and I was underwhelmed.

My only regret is that I can't add Cracker Barrel to the above list.

Edit: I've never been to Stuckys or Howard Johnson either. I thought Stuckys was out of business.

12. Most of them.
Being a vegan for my entire adult life, there aren't many chains where I can/would eat.

21. Most of them.
I did go to Olive Garden once. They served me mouldy bread and then gave me a hard time about bringing me something else. Never went back.
