These restaurants chain threads are fun. This should be it for me. There's a lot of national chains my city doesnt have. I went out of town and had them.

Golden Corral-On the way here soon. I can't wait. Ate it in Michigan....awesome buffet

The Sizzler-Had it in Florida, like Pondarosa, but better

A&W restaurant-good burgers

Long John Silvers-Closet one here is like 40 minutes away

wish we had keeny rogers i lovetheir meat lof iia wish we had david and buster it kind of like chucky chess. mis bck yard buger and gritth hot dogs they we went out of busines i miaa central park

Olive Garden and Cracker Barrel

Wish we had a Portillo's

We got so many chains near by, I can't think of any that we don't have that I would want. In fact take some of our chain restaurants, we got too many :lol:

The ones we have, I wish we didn't have........at least some of them. lol

I wish we had a In-N-Out restaurant here, i've heard their burgers are awesome. Also Whataburger, we had one here years ago, but they closed down.

In-N-Out's are awesome I had one out west once I wish my town had them too but at the same time I dont want any more fast food in my area

Popeye's Chicken and Jack In The Box

Arby's

Not so much a restaurant, but a c-store, they just started building WaWas in our area!!! They're mostly in the PA/NY area, and they're building 5 in the Central Fla area. One just opened last week near SeaWorld and there's another opening near Orlando Int'l next week!!

Also, I wish we had Meijer's stores down here. They are mostly in Indiana and Ohio. Set up just like Walmart Supercenter, but they have a whole lot more cooler stuff than WM.

In-N-Out's are awesome I had one out west once I wish my town had them too but at the same time I dont want any more fast food in my area

We do too, but the way I see it, why not have the ones you enjoy?

Popeye's Chicken and Jack In The Box

We went for years without a Jack In The Box in this area, then around 1998, they started building them, it seemed like, on every corner, like McDonalds and Starbucks. Then about five years ago, they closed most of them down, now all you see is boarded up Jack In The Box buildings.:lol: We got a Popeyes about six or seven years ago, three miles from my home, I eat there for the first time, about three weeks ago. It was alright, but I prefer KFC.

We do too, but the way I see it, why not have the ones you enjoy?

Because its loads of extra calories, fats, carbs, and sodium that I dont need along side the road as a temptation

Nothin wrong with eating healthy, whatever floats your boat.

Wendy's
Long John Silver
Taco Bell
Arbys

We live in kind of a small town, but we have most of the national chains... Outback, Cracker Barrel, Olive Garden, Red Lobster, Applebee's, Chilli's, all of the national pizza chains...in addition to the "fast food" places like Arby's, Wendy's, McD's, B.King, Subway...

I wish our town had:

1) More steak houses besides Outback... like Ruth's Chris Steak House, wow, is THAT good!

2) I don't know if "Sweet Tomatoes" is a national chain, I'm thinking it might be regional... it has a lot of soups and salad fixings, and some great bread to go with it.. There's one in a town that's about 45 min N of us, which is not bad... it's a great place for lunch or dinner... and it's buffet style

3) I love the "Cheesecake Factory", but it's probably just as well that we don't have one very close to us!

Wendy's
Long John Silver
Taco Bell
Arbys
Three of those are beast in the restaurant business, you must live In Mooville.:lol:

I know. Just about everybody has a Wendy's Arby's and Taco Bell. I was going to ask him if he lived in a small rural town, but I didn't want to offend him.

I wish we had a Chevy's Fresh Mex or a Romano's Macaroni Grill

:lol: It is a small town. I can get to those restaurants over in Maryland but it's about 20 minutes away. It would be a lot easier if they were here in town. We have quite a few chain restaurants like BK, Hardees, MCDonalds, Applebys, Pizza Hut , Papa johns, Dominos, Subway and we even do have a Golden Coral though, plus a lot of local restaurants.

I wish there was a Jack in the Box here in northeast Ohio. Every time I go out West, I make it a point to get Jack in the Box food. :drool:

Oh God, so many I can't even name them all but a few are....

Sonic, Ruby Tuesday, Chili's, Cici's Pizza, Farelli's, Tony Roma's, Chick Fil La

It's got to be a west coast thing. My nephew is going out to Seattle in October. He said Jack in the Box is one of the first restaurants he's going to hit.

In-in-Out, White Castle, Chick-Fil-A.

I wish we had Jack in the Box in Fla too, there's a whole lot in TX, too, but that's about as far from Cleveland as out west is!!!

culver's

I LOVE Culver's, whenever I'm up in the IL or WI area, I try to stop by there.

whataburger


They tried Whataburger here in FL, it didn't do as well as it does in TX for some reason, and they closed the 3 that opened in the area.

ihop
sweet tomatos
portillos
cabillos itallian grill

I love IHOP, they have the best pancakes. There's one about a mile and a half from my house.

Red Lobster

Hardees

Chick Fil-A

If there was one thing I wish I had in the country would be Wendy's and Del Taco and Dairy Queen but the only restaurants I have are Burger King McDonald's Taco Bell and two Subways and I have to go ten miles away to Wendy's or Sonic or Jack In The Box. I cannot figure out why the small towns do not even think about putting fast food places like Wendy's and Rally's to restaurants like Golden Corral and Red Robin but it seems that Burger King and McDonald's are huge in small towns. But fast food places in the southwestern states such as Whataburger and Taco Cabana should make their California debut because I know Taco Cabana would be a giant hit in California and also Taco Time should make it's California debut too because California is full of people who like Mexican food
Do you agree?
Bestie

Olive Garden
Red Robin (they have a really good veggie burger)

Sonic (There's only one in Massachusetts, but none in New Hampshire)

Jack In The Box

Hardee's

Carl's Jr.

White Castle

Golden Corral

Famous Dave's

A new KFC just opened in my town. Been waiting a long time for that!

I wish Pulaski, Tennessee had:
Zaxby's
Buffalo Wild Wings
Cheddar's Casual Cafe
Firehouse Subs
Jersey Mike's Subs
Papa Murphy's Pizza
On The Border
Cracker Barrel

But we don't even have a Wendy's! Strangely enough, we do have a Perkin's Restaurant
and Bakery as well as a Motel 6 and a Hampton Inn And Suites.

Giordano’s
Downtown Dogs
Portillo’s
The Burger Point
Philly’s Best
Do Rite Donuts & Coffee

Cheesecake Factory is what I want coming to Fort Wayne the most. I also want Sonic to come back and stay for good. They have had two locations at different times here in the past that have done good business. But both of those closed suddenly. Waffle House has never been here. We have two IHOPS, it would make sense for Waffle House to be in similar areas.

Do you agree?
BestieI had never heard of Del Taco or Taco Time until I saw this post. It probably is not a real common chain, at least not in my midwest area. Fort Wayne had a Taco Cabana a long time ago but it's been awhile. Burger King is basically useless, there are so many restaurants that are better. I haven't been to Rallys in awhile but they weren't a favorite of mine, you're not missing much there.

I wish KFC was back in my town again.

I can see Jet’s Pizza being added in the Florissant, MO area & the Hazelwood, MO area anytime in the future since there is already ones here in the STL City area.

I wish there was a Jack in the Box here in northeast Ohio. Every time I go out West, I make it a point to get Jack in the Box food. :drool:

We had Jack In The Box and Del Taco in St. Louis. We also had a local Roast Beef
Sandwich chain called Lion's Choice.
