Default Best/Worst chain restaurants
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

Jamie Olivers chain restaurant is good but also quite pricey. Ha HA are good. Bombay Brasseries is great but a little expensive.

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.

Love their breakfasts so much. I wish they'd just serve them all day long.

Worst I hate KFC

There's some Mexican Chain in England which is ****ing amazing! Can't remember its full name but I know it has Gecko in the title and there's one in the O2

I also love Pizza Hut.

the Nandos hate in here

Nandos
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 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 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.

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