Most Overrated Restaurants

Steak 'n' Shake is awesome!


Maybe that's because the only time I can stop by one is when I visit my family in Illinois. :(

I like Steak 'N' Shake too.

A little pricey for burgers, but still pretty damn good.

Which 'Wich is overrated. Its sandwiches are expensive and it tastes like Subway's, but Subway is cheaper. Claim Jumper's the food is excellent but the waitresses act like they hate working there.

Elephant Bar & Grill. The waiters don't do a good job of explaining anything to you. For instance, the ice tea refills are free but its Raspberry ice tea they charge you for each and every refill. What the hell?!

Overrated? Yes.
Is this menu diversification bullshit overrated? OHMY FUCKINGGAWD YESS.

Anywhere you go: "I want a pepperoni pizza."
"Can I get a BLT?"
"You got a salad?"

Now.. those are three... absolutely boring, normal, BEAUTIFUL choices.

But you go somewhere, these days.. and they say:

"Pepperoni? Okay. WOuld you like small, large, deli or prosciutto pepperoni?" NO.
"BLT? We have a Bacon Avocado RomaTomato!!! Is that okay?" NO.
"Salad? Our house salad is an Arcadian Blend with cherry tomatoes, almond sprinkle ganache and buttfarts with extra shitfuck!!" NO.

AHEM, Moneybagg.. would you kindly tell them what they doin?

I only went there once, the one at Westfield Culver City. I remember it being good(the burgers), about as good as In 'n' Out but not as good as Fatburger.

Favorite burgs? Favorite fries?

Another pet peeve of mine about Claim Jumper's is the waitresses expect a hefty tip, like I'm going to give you a five dollar tip when all you did was pour water into my glass.

Put me down for Applebee's as well. If they didn't have beer, they wouldn't be a thing.
 
AppleBees is not supposed be good - its just a step above McD`s
When I think about overrated restaurants I think about places where people spend big bucks (I am a bartender in one of the big-name celebrity chef owned Manhattan places) and I am here to tell you that most fine-dining places are overrated. Everyone goes "oohh" and "ahh" about it but its BS. I have seen it from the inside and its same shit. They drop plates, use microwaves and occasionally frozen pre-cooked stuff just like your neigbourghood AB does. And when dinner for 2 costs $600 that just adds insult to an injury

"Casual" & formal are ripoffs, stick with fast food for value, and the quality is as good or better.
