Worst Chain Menu
 

Two of my kids and a number of their friends have worked at Ruby Tuesdays in the past. As a result, I have patronized their restaurants more than I would have otherwise cared to.

I think I was last in a Ruby Tuesdays a couple months ago and walked out when I was told they no longer (this specific location) carried Sam Adams on tap.

I did look at the menu though, and was astonished at how spare it was. This place is like a pricy Burger King. Is there a chain with a skimpier, more limited, more unappetizing menu?

I've always hated the menu at Crackerbarrel's.

Limited options - putrid cuisine.

I go to Ruby Tues for mostly the salad bar and ribs. Occasionally the salad bar and the big burger and dont do booze in chains. Basically I never read their menu. Watching the better built waitresses hustle about is often a free plus never seen in a BK.

I can honestly say I've never been to a Ruby Tuesday's.

I had never been to an In-N-Out Burger till my recent trip to San Francisco and have to say I loved the fact that there were only a few things on the menu. What do you go to a burger place for? A burger. There is no need for chicken sandwiches, wraps, etc. or even twenty different kinds of burgers... Just give me a burger, some fries, and a drink and I'll be on my way ;)

This might strike some of you as sad, but this winter MrLapLap and I passed many Howard Johnsons (EDIT: WRONG NAME - it was supposed to be Tim Hortons) between YYZ and Minden out in the Ontario country. I'd never been to one, but they were obviously very popular. I couldn't wait to find out what it would be like to eat at one.

Good grief, what a non-event that was...:(

Most unappetising menu (and food) of any place I've ever dined at. Anywhere. Ever. (And I'm including 70s London here)

All the HoJo restaurants in the US must have moved to Canada. I have no idea where one is located at anymore.

Having lived in Ontario all my life I can't remember the last time I ever saw a HoJo's...many years ago they used to be at the rest stops located on the 400 series of major highways.

The worst chain experience I ever endured was a Perkins off of I-75 somewhere in Kentucky last year...the grossest chicken dish I have ever eaten. Made the Colonel seem positively gourmet...

I have never been a fan of Church's chicken. The menu is lame and the food lamer.:td:

Perkins and Cracker Barrel.

I went to Ruby Tuesday's once, and swore never again. Anytime you find a RT, there's an Outback, Uno, or Chili's nearby.

It's been over 20 years since I've eaten at either, but Red Lobster and Long John Silver's both had menus full of deep fried everything.

My vote goes to Shakey's Pizza. :td:

My vote goes to Bertucci's. Menu too child friendly :td:

I absolutely agree.

I went into one somewhere in Florida recently and was mightily impressed by the care this chain had taken in it design - until I had the meal which I have to say is probably the worst I've ever had in my life.

Okay, sure, the menu is pretty basic. But then there's the official Secret Menu, and then the unofficial items... plenty of options. ;)
