Kind of got long-winded on the war over AB vs. home brews, but still glad I started the thread.
Forgot one more of mine......Red Robin. Damn expensive to eat a burger there and all you can eat fries sounds more like a death sentence than a deal. Throw in a place with louder noise and bright colors than a Miami disco and I will take a pass unless I have to go.
On the flip side, even though most here will consider it the height of corporate suburban boringness, I am a huge Panera fan. Like it for breakfast and lunch, food is always fresh, and though not cheap, it moves quickly. My one critique is their mystifying policy of providing silverware, but bussing your own table and separating trash from products that are reusable. Must lose a ton of silverware each year and I cannot think of many places that do this.
