Yesterday on NPR they had a rep. from a restaurant trade association talking about the lean times many restaurants are experiencing,
He made reference to Chili's/TGIF's?Appelbees as mid tier.
Do y'all consider these to be mid tier?I really never thought of them as such-but I have visited the above maybe three times in my life.

For those of you who do dine at these establishments have you cut back going there?Are you brown bagging it?Are you dining at cheaper places?

The rep. mentioned that this class of restaurant is seeing a huge drop in business.
