Poll of the Day > I challenge you to name me a worse chain restaurant than Panda Express

chain b being worse does not takeaway being bad from chain a

Little Caesar's is pretty bad, but at least they know that and make it worthwhile with low prices.

IHOP on the other hand is unapologetic trash food. I make better pancakes and I can't cook pancakes worth shit.
---

I must have pretty low standards because I like almost all of the restaurants listed here (at least that I recognize).

Unless it has gotten better since 1995, I ate at a Hardees somewhere in the Midwest and I think they ran out of meat and just cooked a cardboard circle in grease and put it into a bun...

Panda Express is delicious. Orange chicken is always on point. But I eat in Chicago where it's always super fresh due to high volume. Sbarros is garbage. Charged me $1.50 for a side of marinara sauce for my breadsticks that was more like tomato juice.

Amen to what you said about Sbarro. I totally agree they're very overpriced, and why I hardly ever eat there. The baked ziti is good, and once in a blue moon I'll go to Sbarro to order that. Otherwise, I don't eat at them much anymore. As it is, there already are a lot of great mom and pop pizza places all over the Chicago area.

Panda Express I like for a few menu items, but I've also been to some that were unusually bad in quality. As a result, I go to them far less than I used to, sadly. Especially sad when you find more PEs that are run really badly, vs. locations that are decent.

Funny White Castle and Krystal are mentioned in this thread. I can't stand the sliders at either place, but some of their non-slider items are tolerable. I'm not sure what some of the newer such items at Krystal are like(since I only have infrequent chances to eat at them on road trips in the South), but White Castle has some surprisingly good items such as a waffle sandwich. And I like some of WC's other items too, such as chicken rings and also fish nibblers. On a side note back to sliders, my favorite ever such places where I had a slider was at Hinkle's in Madison, IN(this is an Ohio River town inbetween Cincinnati and Louisville), and also Texas Inn in Lynchburg, VA(get a cheesy western, it's amazing!). I believe Texas Inn also has a 2nd location in Roanoke, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

So TL;DR: STAY AWAY from the sliders, and order their non-slider items. Another bonus, is now you can order the breakfast items(underrated IMO) all day.

Pizza Pizza. It's basically acidic sauce and a sprinkle of cheese on a cardboard disk. I'd rather eat Little Caesar's any day, and I hate that place.
---

I want to defend it because I love it, but it's also the only food chain that's given me food poisoning before.

Del Taco, Quiznos, Burger King

Nobody just "goes to sbarro." You eat there because you're at a food court somewhere.
