Red Lobster hasn't changed their menu in 15 years

They can get rid of Boston Market NOW 🗣

I feel like Chipotle is the biggest bully, taking everybody lunch money....and that's without drive thru...

I remember way back in the day I went to Boston Chicken, before they changed the name to Boston Market and I thought the food was pretty dang good. I probably haven't eaten there in 20 years tho. I just don't see them around.

As far as Checkers goes, I don't know anything about Checkers. I remember visiting family in Florida in the mid 1990s and we got it for dinner once after a long day of playing baseball and softball. It hit the spot at the time. I think it came up in conversation in the mid 2000s with a friend from Miami and he told me Checkers is trash. So


I've never been to an Outback Steak House. But every time I see one, I somehow get reminded of The Sizzler...which in the 80s was pretty solid.

There should be more small businesses in the Restaurant sector that adds more competition to these Monopolies/Franchises so they can't have this enormous power and influence on consumers and workers

 

[Why-Fi]

pizza huts fall off is epic. the pizza itself and the restaurant

 

[NoMorePie]

nah subway ain't going anywhere lol

 

[Nymbus]

not chilis

Some of those don't sound right to me. Subway and Pizzahut aren't great, but it seems like their business model is still solid enough.

 

[Elim Garak]

I'm sure Doordash, Postmates, Uber Eats, and GrubHub are really hurting some of those places that were conveniently on every corner though.

 

[bourgeoisie tall freak]

I don't really eat those, and they sell checkers Fries in stores so I'm good!

 

[Easy-E]

When you make trash food and price ppl out...they stop coming thru?

 

[Sypress]

Oh well

All of these places are mostly dead around me so it’s no surprise these restaurants might shut down next year
