I would eat at one now....but it would totally be a macho on-a-dare kinda thing. Except for the sopapillas. Would still smash those.

I have had better chicken at the gas station. i really only have the one in Westlake to go by in the last couple years because its close to my office, but yeah - its a travesty pygmy chicken pieces side dishes are like 1.25 ounces store is dirty as fuck. i mean, i know its a fast food joint but it needs to look like you've done basic cleaning of the tables, floors, etc. within the last ... month? rude as fuck employees half the time the order is fucked up. where are the pickled japs that i ordered and paid for, how am i supposed to get my spicy yardbird on proper without 3-4 japs, no offense i remember there was one on anderson lane years ago that i would go to and never remember any of these issues

A little central-casting cowboy in the tray line told me how to work the flag to get more food. Other than him and me, everybody in there looked like they'd just rolled in from the Yucatan and were feeding their kids enough to make it another week. Food tasted like Taco Casa. I was young, I ate several plates. Only other time was once in Waco. Whatever happened on that visit, I have blocked it out.

July 27, 20187 yr There is a chain called Garfield's Restaurant and Pub that is in a small mall in the next county. We wandered in once on a drive and enjoyed it. An Applebee's clone, there was nothing to complain about, food was decent for price, server was friendly. We liked it and stop by there when we're out that way. I guess what fascinates me is that sitting inside the place is like being inside an alternate earth where it's not too far past the 1980s and this is a giant chain. I looked them up, once they had 40+ locations, targeting small town malls. Now you can go to their web site and almost see the lights going out in real time. They are down to a couple of places in Alabama and Mississippi, and several more scattered across the midwest. Like, 7 total. Inside the restaurant we go to, they put on a brave face, and decorate the wall with a list of their locations, none within an easy drive of here. Zanesville Ohio! "We went through Zanesville once when I was a child," says Mrs. Canecutter, "There was a dead rat outside our motel room." Zanesville location is dead now. All I can figure is that people who wanted to open an Applebees franchise in the 1980s but who failed to qualify, opened up a Garfield's. I doubt the local one will be around much longer. That little mall has lost two of three anchor stores.

July 27, 20187 yr Mcdonalds is the worst franchise and I can't even begin to comprehend how it still exists. If you pick up ground beef from the store and cook yourself a hamburger it doesn't even come close to resembling the slop of shit that McDonald's passes off as a hamburger. I haven't ate a McDonalds burger in over 5 years, but they always ran out of me 15 to 20 minutes after eating one. Their McFish sandwiches are disgusting they're essentially fish byproducts ground up and frozen into blocks then passed off to the consumer as healthy fish. The Chicken McNuggets are essentially chicken leftovers they don't even have the texture of real chicken. I wish Mcdonalds would disappear the world be better off without it.

One does not go to Magic Time Machine for the food, one goes for the atmosphere. You can't beat a salad served out of a shiny red 1952 MG-TD Roadster. Also, those cheese croutons, holey crap. We were in MGT one time in SA, and there was a dude there by himself at a table. Looked like he was on some sort of business trip or something. Now that's f'in creepy - going to MGT by yourself.

July 27, 20187 yr I'm actually surprised cheddars is getting some mention. I hadn't heard of it up until a few yrs ago. We tried it in Florida. Waiter took our order(13-14 people) all by memory. Very impressed by that. Chicken fried chicken was good and the portion was huge. We go back now. Its always full tho

Paid my way through Texas thanks to them and Outback. Anyway, one morning pre-shift meeting at Sito's, we have the GM come in to talk to us, and he's all pumped about the day and shit, and he asks us enthusiastically "If you could change or add one thing to our restaurant to improve the experience, what would it be?!?". Me being the Gen X dickhead that I was, I raise my hand and he calls on me first. I offer up "I think we should add a flag to the table and allow customers to raise it just like at Pancho's". He lost his shit, yanked me out of the room and sent me home for the day. Fuck it, I thought it was funny, but I was happy not to be fired. Anyway, my roommate and I then went and ate lunch at Pancho's on Oltorf in homage to my dickheadery and the deliciousness of the trash food that was the Pancho's buffet.

July 27, 20187 yr There are at least three separate chains called "Taco Casa", centered in Texas, Ohio, and Alabama. From what I see on their websites, the food looks like "Mexico Day!" in a North Dakota high school cafeteria, Class of 1972. http://tacocasatexas.com/ http://tacocasacinti.com/ http://www.tacocasa.com/ There may be more. The search continues.
