i.e. like olive garden and applebees as opposed to a restaurant where there's only one of them and it's a family owned etc........

If the food and the service are good then.

Vote with your dollar.
Support local.
My region also has a solid food game, there is really no reason to go to a chain.

Also, I am of the opinion that one good restaurant supports another...which is to say, if people see you town as a place to get food then all quality places well be supported. My town literally smells like food once you get close to downtown.

No preference. Just whichever has food I like. I don't much care for the "family owned restaurant automatically equals better" narrative.

Why would you rather eat at a TGIF or Applebees rather than a local fresh restaurant?

Never been big on trying new foods, I don't eat out a lot (except fast food) and i move every few years, so I don't really know any local places.

Family owned by and large, for sure, without any competition. With maybe the exception of something like fried chicken.

Generally chains because when I'm traveling, I like to have some idea of what to expect. Most local places are fucking awful and, if I'm traveling through an area, I'm going to bother trying to separate the wheat from the chaff -- particularly when I've had food poisoning from local places, which hasn't been the case with any chain (except Wendy's, although that's fast food)

Honestly, a lot of the prejudice against chains is fucking stupid. You have a lot of regional chains which are just local places / family restaurants with more locations. And all of those only got to be chains because they were good. The belief that a restaurant is better for having one location instead of five or ten is a juvenile opinion. Quality is independent of the number of locations (although, again, for any place to get multiple locations, there likely had to be quality either now or at some point).

I have never eaten at a chain restaurant that I thought was legitimately good.
