FAMOUS DAVES! They're sooooo good but sooo bad for me!
CPK's Tostada Pizza
I've only had it once in the past 3 years. It was SO good. But the last time I had it was in NYC where calories are listed on the menu. I ordered it that night, but can never order it again it is SO terrible for me.
Mmm, Famous Dave's is delicious! I actually just had my favorite last night, the chicken fingers from Applebees. I can't wait the hour until it's an acceptable time to eat lunch since I brought leftovers!
Applebees has the best honey mustard, btw. I usually don't even like that stuff, but it's just soooo good there!
@KaitlinHudson: I LOVE famous daves too!!
Or anything pasta!
Applebee's has this new BBQ sauce, some sort of Asian spicy sweet glaze. I think it is meant to go on ribs, but I order it on the side and use it for chicken fingers and fries.
Mmmm...
This is really making me hungry and all I have left at work to eat is an apple!
I rarely go to chain resturants (don't know why, but we like to go to local places instead.) But a great go to work lunch is Olive Garden & I REALLY like their Zuppa Toscana soup (its the one w/ the sausage & potatoes.)
The best part! I found a recipie online for the soup, that is IDENTICAL to the soup at Olive Garden. I made it Monday and it is so yummy! I'm so happy I found it, haha!!
@Annie - I found a recipe for their pasta e fagioli soup online, and it is identical to the Olive Garden version. I cook mine with a parmesan rind and it is sooooo good :-)
I like On The Border's chicken chimi. Or Max and Erma's southwest salad :)
Chili's paradise pie. It's my favorite restaurant dessert, but I only get it like once every 2 years. It's too yummy.
I'm also slightly obsessed with Buffalo Wild Wings spicy garlic sauce. Really, anything I order there is a just canvas for that sauce.
@KaitlinHudson: YES love Famous Daves!! We had them cater our engagement party :-)
Probably my favorite chain restaurant is Bertuccis because I have never been disappointed with their food!
Cheesecake Factory's Miso Salmon. Sadly there is no Cheesecake Factory by me in NYC.
I have never found an entree I liked at Outback - we usually just do appetizers - I get salad, bread, and we share a bloomin onion :-) Their ahi tuna is pretty good too, as an appetizer.
I love almost everything from T.G.I Fridays. Seriously. Yum!
@missrobotos - i am ALSO obsessed with BWW spicy garlic sauce. i always ask for extra sauce because it is so darn tasty!
i also crave PF Changs. the closest one to us is 8 hours away :( i dream of steamed shrimp dumplings, & changs spicy chicken!
@panterapeach: I love that crispy honey chicken so much I never order anything else. I also love the deep-fried green bean appetizer. Ugh..now I'm hungry...
Can a grocery store count? Haha, I don't eat at chains since they don't tend to be very vegan or health friendly, but I do LOVE the prepared food at Whole Foods. My favorite junk food is their vegan pizza on multigrain crust and my favorite everyday food is their quinoa/black bean veggie burger.
@Shoppingdixie: totally love it!!!
@theeekingeek: me too, love that place!
Let's see, we heart Qdoba's, and I get the same thing every time - the ancho chili bbq buritto, naked (no burrito), with black beans, chicken, corn salsa, and add guacamole. It is seriously the best!! And their queso and chips, must have every time. Now I want Qdoba's...
Also, Texas Roadhouse bread and their house salad with honey french, omg love it. I pretty much love anything from TR, I have never had a bad meal there
I like the oriental chicken salad at Applebees. We have a local italian restaurant close by that makes the most AMAZING gnocchi in gorgonzola sauce. I hate strong cheese but it doesn't taste strong in this one, it just gives this amazing under tone. Oh and they also do a bolognese sauce that they simmer for 14 hours...... good heavens. Hmmm DH still owes me a birthday dinner.....
@PitBulLover: Oh my goshhhhh I love Bertucci's! But the food is so rich it makes my stomach upset but it's soooo good that I dont care.
I really love Garlic Herb Chicken con Broccoli at Olive Garden. And every single thing I've ever had from Red Robin is sinfully good!
I have only been to Red Robin once, in St. Louis, and I had some sort of Jerk Chicken sandwich, and it was delicious... Mmm, and their fries are so good too.
We rarely eat at chain restaurants as there are so many independent places around here. I think the only chain restaraunt dish I LOVE is Chessecake Factory's Seared Tuna Tataki Salad. And it's only around 400 calories. Can't beat that at a chain restaurant.
@panterapeach: Yes, yes, yes! With their brown rice! Oh goodness.
I love the BBQ Chicken Wrap from Red Robin, Caramel Frappes from McDonald's and queso from a local chain Ted's (they're all over OK, but no where else sadly). Oddly enough, I also like chain restaurant ranch better than any store ranch usually.
I worked for Chili's for 4 years and yet I still like the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich and wish they would have kept the Chocolate Chip Molten Cake.
Oh this post is making me hungry!
My all time favorite dish would been Penne Sardi from Biaggi's. I've never found another dish that's just like it and it's amazing! I'm also a big fan of the Pasta de Vinci from Cheesecake Factory.
Mmmm this is really making me want to blow my workout! haha. I am in love with the Chicken Marsala at Carrabbas...<3 so good! I also love their sangria. Hmmm...it's not a real restaurant, but I love a bacon cheeseburger and fries from five guys...and I don't even like burgers that much!!
Also, I love LOVE Boston Market sweet potato casserole! Mmmm..
I'd have to go with Cheesecake Factory Avacado Egg Rolls. I LOOOOOVE that dipping sauce it comes with. Close second is the Santa Fe salad also at Cheesecake factory.
Earls (don't know if you have that in the U.S.) penne alfredo with a half brest of cajun chicken....mmm creamy goodness to die for! I also love their baked brie and apple chicken ciabatta.
Cheesecake Factory! *drools*
I have yet to eat anything bad there. I usually have the Tex Mex Egrolls for a light lunch; and my favorite, the Jambalaya for dinner. Accompanied by a margarita and chocolate mousse cheesecake to finish it off. Last time I had the steak diane & shrimp scampi combo and that was heavenly as well.
I have never had a bad thing at Cheesecake Factory. I LOVE their salads, even though they are as unhealthy as the rest of the menu.
Alright, it's not really a big dish but I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE O'Charley's and Logan's Rolls. They taste so good.
I also have a fast food favorite. Baja Buds' Chicken Enchiladas. Better than any Mexican food I had in any restaurant. Unfortunately they only have 4 locations in LA that I know of. And I happen to live across the street from one of them. OK, that wasn't really a coincidence, it did kind of influence my decision when we moved 
We try to avoid chain restaurants whenever possible, but when I feel like "cheating," my favorite is a grilled cheese w/ grilled onions from In N Out Burger! Yum, yum, yum!
