4) Houston's

5) Joe's American

6) California Pizza Kitchen

Nina, I appreciate your input but none of those are in my top 10.
I do like Applebees & ESPN Zone.
Actually ESPN Zone is really good, maybe I will put that up there.
Also, I am shocked you would mention Olive Garden. Dude you know what that place does to me.
Also Johh Harvard's is great but I thougth too New England for my list.

John Harvard's is in Long Island

What about Panera? and IHOP?

Cracker Barrel?

I thought Olive Garden was funny..they did hired Jessica Cannon for a comercial and they do put ex-lax in their food

ESPN Zone is delicous

what about Gordon Biersch?

Rori said...

Stay tuned and I will put some breakfast and more fast food chains up as well.
Steve - I do like Gordon Bierch but have not gone enough to really comment on it.
Also had no idea about John Harvard's in Long Island. When I come up with a best bread list they will def make it.

Where is Texas Roadhouse?

Rori said...

I like Texas Roadhouse but it is not in my top ten. I know I might be disowned for that but it is true.

Joses is my favorite chain. It has the most best value.

This is like my hit list of restaurants that should be closed down.

You know what? You really need to go to Bamboo Club. You would love it and they have not only amazing organge chicken, but also the best lettuce wraps I have ever tasted with a more than impressive atmosphere.
