Upscale Chain Restaurants Ranked from Worst To Best

If you're planning to go out for a meal for which you may have to make a reservation, and possibly may even want to dress up for, then you definitely want to make sure it's a meal to remember, and not for the wrong reasons. But say you're in an unfamiliar city, and you're not sure what the best local options are. Well, a chain is a pretty well known quantity, right?
Well, yes. But when it comes to quality, some high-end restaurant chains most assuredly stand above the rest. What is the right option for when you really need a date night or a business dinner to hit the bullseye? Here are some of the major upscale chain restaurants, ranked from worst to best.

I love how she's describing dipping food into melty cheese like it's a bad thing.

[@drumminslife]

Someone must be paying Buzzfeed to slam Melting Pot

[@GoddessRoxy]

I mean... seriously. They said you should pass on a date who suggests fondue. That is the FIRST place you should suggest. A pot of cheese?! Yes, please.

Script is a script

We now have a Ruth’s Chris, but I refuse to add a $20 baked potato to a tiny $75 fillet mignon. And then consider a $20 side salad. So we’re talking $115, without a beverage!!! Crazy !!!! Go to Texas Roadhouse, or cook a steak on your charcoal grill at home!!!

[@gussfish8670]

Ruth Chris sure ain't no Michelin restaurant.

[@mathewk6026]

Feels weird to hear someone hate on melted cheese so hard lol

[@richdouglas2311]

I moved from Fairfax, Virginia a few years ago. I so much miss Bonefish. I used to order appetizers for my meal and always enjoyed a nice bottle of wine.

[@FirebalOne]

Oh yes, Salt Lake City still has The Melting Pot. Ever since I was a kid, now 44. I am surprised it’s still open especially with Covid around.

[@XBloodxStainedxLipsX]

What do you have against fondue?? It's amazing! I figured you would have critiqued the melting pot for being soo expensive, not for simply serving fondue.

[@patrickneale7378]

How did you miss Flemings, Ruth's Chris and Mortons, but included Cap Grille and Nobu?

[@michaellusk2856]

Who would be stupid enough to eat at Fleming's or Morton's? Ruth's Chris is another matter...

[@teebryant3296]

@@michaellusk2856 What? Fleming's steaks are far Superior to Ruth Chris. You must have COVID.

[@doranneprice8471]

HAPPY MEMORIES OF MORTONS!!!!! Just loved 😍

[@hellhound1389]

There are none of these around here and that's fine with me. I prefer local restaurants over national chains and our locals are awesome. Chain restaurants come in, can't compete with the locals, they shut their doors and slink away or if they stay they just barely keep their heads above water

[@jason666king]

This👍

I dined at a Trulucks a few years ago. It was an amazing experience.

[@user-tv5ht8ig6q]

Thank you, very helpful !

[@lisaharrington6488]

None of these restaurants are near me except The Melting Pot and I love cheese fondue. It is nice to know that I have better uses for my money than the people who frequent these overpriced eateries.

[@brianmoody2549]

Restaurant have there way of showing you there best plates of food by style ingredients flavor color and what brings them back tastes, and word of mouth…….that’s what makes a great restaurant.

[@charleso8826]

I cooked in a restaurant a few times.. Mako shark full of it's cancer is substituted for pricey cuts of all fish...

[@daniel.d.roberts6850]

What about Bar and Grills ranked worst to best? I want to see how you rank Applebee's and Chill's.

[@LauranCHB]

Love the Melting Pot!

[@jacobgregersen377]

Me too I'm so angry its so low

[@looneytoastywolf]

Same!! I love that place

[@sallyphillips9175]

Yeah, I was sitting here thinking, "What's wrong with cheese fondue?"

[@SupermarketSweep777]

I've been there once years ago and it was good. They didn't even give good reasons to have it low.

[@ellynbernardo5858]

I would love to see you guys do a video about Mongolian BBQ

[@fairamir1]

10 of them I never even heard of before

[@Rosielovestommy]

Bonefish grill slaw is my favorite.

[@nikolasincorporated]

Why so rough on the Melting Pot? It’s not that bad of a place for a once in a while experience. Also cheese on everything is not a bad thing

[@msp_isyourteacher6139]

Melting Pot is my jam. Mmmm. Cheese!

[@samharrodiii2427]

Biaggi's Ristorante is a Great one, based in Bloomington, Illinois

[@dmitripogosian5084]

Hm, nice gruyeres, comte, beaufort cheeses, savoy wine, baguette ... little else needed for a great fondue. Can't resist

[@dbara2017]

You can’t expect much from this channel I know but c’mon. They start the video without saying one bad thing about the melting pot. Basically just “who likes cheese?!”… idk about you but I know people with lactose intolerance who risk it for the stuff

[@patriciayohn6136]

They need to check out Devon Seafood Grill.

[@luv2sail66]

Disagree on Chart House. The Annapolis location is our Thanksgiving tradition if we’re home for the holiday.

[@tamedshrew235]

A 6 pound lobster sounds old and chewy to me. Young is always better.

[@nintendojoe2958]

I'd like to know what you think of the canadian chain "The Keg". How might it compare to these places? It's my favorite and if you ranked it poorly I want to see what you ranked better!

[@jll41676]

The price for cooking your own food at the melting pot (although tasty) is ridiculous. In my opinion for the price there are better places to eat where you don’t cook your food.

[@maxpowr90]

PF Chang's is about as upscale as the Cheesecake Factory.

[@maryeverling8238]

Everything in life is relative…

[@Blitzkrieg1976]

What's wrong with fondue? Y'all a bunch of haters.

[@oldcougar65]

This person obviously has never been to The Melting Pot. My son had his wedding reception as Maggiano's. Heavy food, as I recall.

[@TheRach995]

bro what's wrong with fondue? If the quality of it is bad, just tell us that, because there's nothing wrong with fondue as a concept.

KFC got robbed!

[@hellhound1389]

A few years ago the local paper did a poll on foods and KFC got voted last place for fried chicken. A local grocery store got #1 and I agree. They use their own recipe and it blows KFC away
