I prefer to frequent independently owned anything (stores, restaurants, etc) just because I like to support and encourage creativity, independence, and entrepreneurship. But, there's nothing actually "wrong" with chains. People give them a bad rap. They serve their place, and are nice to frequent when you aren't in an adventuresome mood. Plus, living in a small town like I do, if it wasn't for chains, my choices of anything to eat after 4PM would be greatly diminished.
Love: Dunn Bros (much better coffee than Starbucks), Applebee's (don't eat there often, but it's usually pretty good)
OK: Most of them, actually.
Tolerate:
Absolutely Despise: Olive Garden (they specialize in pasta,yet overcook it every time), TGI Fridays (I have NEVER gotten good food at a TGI Fridays. I have eaten at several different Fridays on several different occasions and have never gotten good food).
