I genuinely like most of these
>>14350983
I feel like they changed their biscuits, they're always crumbly and broken now, but they're still some of the best biscuits around.
Seafood is usually good, they have lobster fest that's always great, and their shrimp is usually on point. For seafood they're still the best chain around.
>>14350986
I like their weird breakfest desserts, cheesecake pancakes are bomb. and the sweet creme cheese crepes are pretty good too if you get them at the right ihop.
overall its more of a gimmick restaurant now for those weird pancakes, but not many other places have those weird pancakes either. if i want a filling meal i go to cracker barrel though.

Capitalism can't make money where there aren't customers. The truth is that deep down you and all of your whiny friends prefer cheap, convenient food over waiting around or spending more on good food. You'll go to McDonalds and cry about how unfair capitalism is 100 times before you bother going to Uncle Bob's struggling local burger joint. All through college I watched God knows how many great places open and close months apart while young commie types bitched about the system and made skeptical faces at anyone who referenced local places instead of begging to go to Buffalo Wild Wings for the millionth time. I'll never forget the growing look of sadness and defeat on the face of this one pizza buffet owner. He was a wagie for Gatti's and when they closed down he spent all his money setting up shop there for himself. Guy was his own sole employee and was so fucking excited. He made better pizza than they'd had before and was determined to please his customers. Anything you wanted, he'd make it. My gf and I would go in there all the time and it was usually empty, so we'd talk to him some and got to know him. He lasted maybe three months with almost no customers. That was about eight years ago. Last I saw that place was taken over by a Chinese chain- one of maybe four in town now- and the parking lot was full. Bitch about capitalism more, you shithead. You faggots would sell your souls for nothing and blame the devil.

Depends on the cuisine, and the dish, and how good they are at it. There's plenty of places I can have some of the best meals, and leave gross full spending only $15. I just tend to hit up the hipster part of town that's full of great places, even if they are overpriced, you'll never have a bad meal. Spend $25, have an incredible meal, and probably take home enough for another leftover meal. I'm kinda lucky because my city sucks for most things other than beer and food.

What the fuck went wrong? I went into one a few months ago because I passed by it around dinner and the inside was like coated in grease.

I love pure capitalism and free market. These national chain franchises are in advanced stage capitalism. There are engineers putting in all their time to squeeze one penny out of any stage of the process. You can't just do anything ethical because the dollar is law. Game theory generally favors screwing your customers and vendors.

Your awesome noname pizza shop had terrible marketing. If you can't start a successful food truck, cart, or catering service then you have no business opening a brick and mortar restaurant. I don't care if your pies can put Naples to shame, it's a business and you have to turn profit.

Years ago Red Lobster was a decent place to go but now you can't go to one without sitting next to a table of loud obese niggers demanding endless baskets of cheddar biscuits, making a huge mess and then complaining about their food after they ate everything put in front of them.

No KFC near me. I had to go for a long trip one day. Ran into a KFC. I probably hadn’t had this in like 10+ years.

I ordered the Nashville strips or something. I expected spicy tender strips. What I got was a big box of grease. My chicken rolling around in oil and paprika that looked nasty to look at, and tasted awful. Can’t even rate the chicken, just cause the sauce was so repulsive.
