Best for me are......

TGI Fridays, for me is my favourite, pure comfort food in decent sized portions, and cocktails make it fun

Nandos, i just loved there hot chicken and fries, and corn

Garkunkles: pizzas are so good, and salads are good too

Worst for me are......

Pizza hut, seems old fashioned now and full of chavs scoffing the buffet. shame really

Home made / Hand made / Goumet Burger types of chain, all over priced and they somehow think a burger is worth a tenner

Best

Frankie and Benny's - you always get what it says on the tin.
Harvester - I love the salad bar, you can fill up on salad first.


Worst

Pizza hut - but then I don't like pizza it's totally overrated. It's just a bit of bread dough with stuff on top. I'd rather toast a panini at home then cover it in cheddar, red onion and cherry tomatoes and brown under the grill.

Best for me is Eddie Rockets, an Irish diner in the style of 1950s America! Gorgeous food!

I also used to love Harry Ramsden's, but haven't been to one in years! Do they still even exist?

The worst is TGI Fridays! Service is too slow and it's overpriced imo and not a lot of choice on the menu!

Any pizza restaurants are also no-goers for me as I hate pizza, and sometimes the smell of the strong cheeses while walking past make me feel sick!

My personal favourites are Masala Zone, Wagamama, and Busaba Eathai.

Least favourites - Nando's - sorry it is basically KFC with cutlery. Oh, and another mention for Pizza Hut - sorry, but it is basically greasy and chavvy.

Fave - Strada, Gaucho. Toby Carvery - the vfm is fantastic, service so friendly and the desserts are scrumptious.

Least fave - Pretzo. Menu sounds great, decor very nice, but the food is very mediocre. Harvester has gone downhill, the mixed grill thing is bland and rubbish.

Best: Ricker Restaurants (a bit trendy but Cicada was faultless) Ping Pong, Carluccios Cafe, Zizzis (can be hit and miss), La Tasca (again hit and miss depending on whuch branch you go to).

Worst: Harvester (bland), Wagamammas (overpriced for what it is), Pizza Hut (grim), Nandos (sauces are good but the chicken is rotten).

Best -

Nandos. I love the food in here, it is pricey but I do like it
ASK.Best pizza chain for me althought Zizzis is a close second

Worst -

Pizza Express. I love sloppy guiseppe pizza but the place is awful, cheap plastic chairs, teenagers and expensive when its not with vouchers.
Burger King. Burgers ok but fries are nasty

Best - Wagamama's, Pizza Hut (mainly because I love pizza and it's the only chain pizza place in my area), Frankie & Benny's, Subway and I used to love Nando's when I was younger and wasn't a vegetarian.

Worst - Wimpy and nowadays KFC as there is absolutely nothing there for veggies except their side orders and desserts. I had one of those Krushem things a few weeks ago and it was absolutely vile.

Best: Frankie And Benny's. Maybe a tad expensive but it's always quite nice and you get decent portions

Worst: Pizza Hut. Ahhhh I used to love pizza hut, but it still feels like it's in the 90's or something. Nothing has changed for years and the buffet is always crap and the pizzas are really really bland and tasteless.

I don't mind Nando's

But I've really gone off loads of chains now.

Pizza Hut: Service is generally awful, food disappointing.
Pizza Express: Now so expensive it's ridiculous. I remember when their menu used to be in pence and margheritas were 495p. Plus of course their restaurants have the noise level of an airport runway.
Frankie & Bennies: Rather expensive for what is mainly pre-cooked, microwaved food. Ribs out of a bag/precooked burgers, etc.
Harvester/Beefeater: Same as F&B.

Oh yeah La Tasca is total rubbish. Cheap quality shit food. I had a few of their tapas dishes, and they honestly tasted like something from Iceland.

Only been to Nando's once and there's a reason for that - the food was vile. Never understood why people rave about it.

Best: Lahore Karahi.

The one near my office in Victoria served me one of the worst meals I've ever eaten last Christmas but the one in Bourenmouth was fantastic when I went during the Summer. Very strange.

I like Browns they do some nice food there but they can be a bit pricey but then you get what you pay for. Other than that all the rest are basically the same, Beefeater is just the Harvester without the Salad bar, same with Brewer's Fayre's. Frankie and Benny's is okay but nothing special. Haven't been to PIzza Hut in years.

Wetherspoons are the worst of the lot. They just seem to attract the dregs of humanity as well.
