Best:

Frankie And Benny's - Quite pricey but you get what it says on the tin and you get fairly decent portions. Plus I always like the atmosphere

Pizza Express - I always fall in and out with this one. It's horribly overrpriced and quite prententious but at least they make the pizza fresh and right infront of you and they're usually a decent size.

Worst:

Nando's - Don't get why everyone loves it so much. Crap food, crap service, you have to go and order your meal and it costs loads and you barely get anything.

Pizza Hut - Gone downhill in the last few years, greasy tasteless pizza.

Pizza Express are great, especially the Romana pizzas, it is pretty pricey though so only really go with the parents. Chiquitos are quite good too, and Bottelino's is another good place for pizzas

Agree about Nandos. My daughter likes it cuz they cook the food quickly but I have to always have the same thing or I wont be able to eat it.

Oh and another to worst if Bella Italia I think it's called. Builds itself up as some classy Italian joint but the pizza are always really thin and ****. And it's bloody expensive, think it was almost £6 for a bottle of beer

McDonalds is completely inedible to me apart from the breakfasts. What the hell is that awful tasting stuff Burger King put on the chip? Subway would be better if the meat wasn't processed. etc

I love a big dirty McDonalds when I'm hungover lol

Don't like Subway really, never tastes all that fresh to me. Plus the shops are always really small and there's never anywhere to sit.

I also love Pizza Hut.

the Nandos hate in here :bored:

Nandos :love:
Also love Papa Johns, Giraffe (not sure if this is nation-wide but it's in Exeter and Bath so I assume so) and TGIF's.

For cheap + easy stuff, Pizza Hut and McDonalds :love: like Burger King, don't really like Subway, hate KFC.

Love McDonalds, don't understand why some people say it's disgusting. With KFC I love the fried chicken but I can't stand the burgers and I'm not to keen on the chips.

Also love Big Moe's Diner :love: It's a 50's style American diner which is amazing at night. It's not a chain of restaurants though but it should be :(

I don't hate Nando's but I do think it's incredibly overrated.

The supermacs near where my sister lives is disgusting...its like a poor mans MacDonalds.:yuk:

Taco Bell, Harvester, our local Wetherspoons has great food...especially curry night. Dominos for pizza.

Best: Gourmet Burger Kitchen. Their food is a tad pricey, but you get so much and everything as absolutely delicious. Their burgers are utter perfection. :worship:

Worst: Burger King. Their restaurants are nearly always dirty, and their food is just never up to par with other fast food places like McDonalds imo. I don't get why everyone loves them so much. :suspect:

Niall
08-11-2012, 05:41 PM
Wagamama is also amazing. They do Japanese food and the food is made so fast and it's delicious. :love: Same goes for Wahaca only they do mexican food. The restaurants are almost identical in the way they work, though.

Yo Sushi is also wonderful. :love:

Worst: KFC - Vile, disgusting chain. The smell alone is rank enough, but what I've seen better çhicken lying in the middle of the road runover.

Best: Velvet Burger - Amazing burger restaurant, really good selection of burgers and sides, and great atmosphere in the restaurants.

I'd probably add BK to my worst as well. I think the main reason was over here it seemed to have a really bad rep in the 90's so that sort of put me off. I also once went it and they're run out of Burgers :eek:

Jake.
12-11-2012, 02:31 PM

Twisters is what I've always got there. Pretty sure they've got thinner and thinner over the years though :suspect:

Best: Wendy's (yummy burgers and fries), Arby's (jamocha shakes), and Domino's Pizza (the redesign of the pizza makes it taste better)

Worst: McDonald's (everything except for their coffee drinks and breakfast stuff tastes disgusting.)

I completely forgot about Papa Murphy's. They make the pizza right in front of you and then you take it home to cook. So *******ing good.
