Waffle House.
White Castle.

I never understand why there's always a line at Applebees, no matter where you go. It's a BAD restaurant. I feel sick after I eat there. I would actually rather eat at Denny's than eat at Applebees.

Cheesecake Factory is another place where there's always a wait, and people seem to treat it like a fine dining restaurant when it's not. Anyplace with a menu that large is never going to be great - jack of all trades, master of none. And they apparently go out of their way to not use local food/produce, because they serve farmed Atlantic salmon in the Pacific Northwest! Ugh. I don't even think their cheesecake is great - it's not dry enough. It'll do in a pinch, but usually there's something better to be had, and without a long wait or noise (it's always loud in there, too).

Another place I think is good, but overrated: Maggiano's. I like the food, but I think it's way overpriced if you don't do the family dinner thing.
