Best Chain restaurant?
Discussion
A new TGI Fridays opened near my ex wife's house recently and we've been out with the kids there three times in the last month as the food is so good. The Ultimate Ribs are fantastic as is the Jack Daniels glaze. The prices are a little bit higher than Frankie & Bennys but to my mind the food is much better. Bigger portions and tastier too! Does anyone else frequent such establishments?

"Bills" is ok for a smaller chain
I only found out last year that Bills was a chain, I had presumed the one in Reading was an independent - good quality in my opinion. Love the sauce at TGIs and also at Giraffe, and I think all the voucher code Italians make for good, cheap meals out midweek.I'd just like to state that Nandos is st, terrible overpriced st and all their deserts are stodgy crap. Hate the place with a passion along with their poor excuse for 'fries' which are usually limp flaccid affairs.
Franky & Bennys I can just about manage to come to terms with and find something I'll enjoy but I think as others have mentioned Wagamamas is probably the only place I can say I've really enjoyed food.
I prefer to cook myself

I think I would have to agree with Wagamama. Been eating the food from there for almost 20 years. Its the same everywhere you go, its always high quality, cooked fresh and reasonable value. Menu is almost unchanged in that time. Chicken Katsu Curry... every time!!
TGIs would be a close second - although it depends on branch as some are better than others. Our local is pretty good. Gets really busy though and sometimes gets a few undesirables in esp on Fri / Sat night.
Frankie and Bennys was good until 3-4 years ago when the menu seemed to start to get smaller and portions and quality fell. They also removed the herb potato from the breakfasts and we stopped going. Used to go for breki on a Sunday a few times a year.
