And they make above average eggs, pork and fried stuff. I'm not saying CB is excellent, just that it's above average. CB is a solid mid major. Cheesecake is an also ran.LOLOLOLOLOL. Who are you trying to fool? It's eggs, pork products, and stuff fried in lard. Don't get me wrong, I like their food, but suggesting that Cracker Barrel is above average food is downright laughable.

Compared to what, exactly? I can get the same quality food at the greasy spoon diner up the street from my house.But it's above average eggs, pork products and stuff fried in lard.
Bojangles leads by 3 votes currently. Strongly considering changing my vote though.I swear if y'all vote down Bojangles you will never get another random picture, weird news item or terrible joke from me, ever. What is wrong with you people?
. This is a contest for judging the best restaurant, in which the quality of the food should be the primary consideration IMO. If you think Bojangles and Cracker Barrel are legitimate contenders, then your taste buds are obviously impaired.
Compared to other chain restaurants that serve that food. Greasy spoon diner didn't make the tournament. Doesn't matter if it's better.Compared to what, exactly? I can get the same quality food at the greasy spoon diner up the street from my house.
I'm not that big of a chain pizza person, so chicken is going to win most of the time when it's up against pizza. Chicken is normally the better quality of food between the two. I'm not a huge fan of Bojangles, but it's better than chain pizza.At least cool has the sense to know that Mellow Mushroom is better food than Bojangles. I'll say it one more time.

They aren't legitimate contenders for the title, they just had easy matchups. If all we are doing is voting for contenders then we should have just stopped the contest with Chick-fil-a.If you think Bojangles and Cracker Barrel are legitimate contenders, then your taste buds are obviously impaired.
Psst. It's called the Chain Restaurant Tournament.Yeah, I guess. But if we were really looking at it like that, then I'd say over half of the field wouldn't even get a vote.
Such as?Compared to other chain restaurants that serve that food.
You've never been to Mellow Mushroom, have you?I'm not that big of a chain pizza person, so chicken is going to win most of the time when it's up against pizza. Chicken is normally the better quality of food between the two. I'm not a huge fan of Bojangles, but it's better than chain pizza.
I don't think that was ever specified. You can vote based on which chain restaurant has the funniest ad campaign, the most franchise locations, or the creepiest mascot character if that's what floats your boat.This is a contest for judging the best restaurant, in which the quality of the food should be the primary consideration IMO.
You're dead to me.I've changed my vote from Bojangles to Mellow Mushroom. Sorry Bo, you're just not cutting it for me these days.
BojanglesSuch as?
Not sure why this came up as a RH quote for you, but yes I have been to Mellow Mushroom.You've never been to Mellow Mushroom, have you?
No, it wasn't ever specified, but if the quality of the food isn't among the most important considerations then you're probably an idiot.I don't think that was ever specified.

So CB is above average because Bojangles is average? FFS, what is below average? You must be another one of JuleZ' 7/11 diners.Bojangles

Neither do I, but I switched it to you. Weird.Not sure why this came up as a RH quote for you, but yes I have been to Mellow Mushroom.
Plus... their calzones. Good lawd, their calzones.Neither do I, but I switched it to you. Weird.
So you've been to Mellow Mushroom, but you're still calling it "chain pizza"? I don't know about everyone else, but Mellow Mushroom is not chain pizza to me. When I think of chain pizza, I think of Pizza Hut, Domino's, Papa John's, etc. Hell, there are many local joints that can't make a pizza as good as Mellow Mushroom. They are legit.
You asked me to name a restaurant that made the same food that was below CB. I did that. If you want a different answer, ask a different question. Both are above average, but I think CB is the better between the two.So CB is above average because Bojangles is average? FFS, what is below average? You must be another one of JuleZ' 7/11 diners.
They have over 150 locations, so I think that qualifies as a chain. Would it make you feel better if I called it a regional restaurant?So you've been to Mellow Mushroom, but you're still calling it "chain pizza"?

I'm not disputing that Mellow Mushroom is a chain restaurant, it is. You just said you don't like "chain pizza" like you were bringing Mellow Mushroom down to the level of most other pizza chains that serve generic pizza, which Mellow Mushroom clearly doesn't. Their pizza goes far and beyond your typical chain pizza joints, which is why they are getting my vote.They have over 150 locations, so I think that qualifies as a chain.

If it were up against other pizza chain restaurants then it might get my vote. That's not the case here. Chicken > pizza for me in most cases. You can always do a pizza chain tournament if you want.I'm not disputing that Mellow Mushroom is a chain restaurant, it is.

I really want Mellow Mushroom
If Mellow Mushroom can pull off this upset I may have to start actually given some credence to things you people say on here.
You're the one who said "compared to other chain restaurants that serve that food." I asked the right question. You just moved the goalpoasts.You asked me to name a restaurant that made the same food that was below CB. I did that. If you want a different answer, ask a different question.
WTF? You've lost this thread. You should be ashamed.I'll ask you again: what are the other chain restaurants that serve the same type of food (breakfast/family/comfort) that make CB look like a high-quality outfit? I ask because their competitors are Denny's, IHOP, Bob Evans (@gunslingerdick), Perkins, etc. all of which are comparable or better quality than Cracker Barrel.
No I didn't, but I will leave your incorrect statement alone and proceed with the rest of your terrible post.You just moved the goalpoasts.
Ok, first off I never said CB was a high-quality outfit. I said it was above average. If you are asking me to choose from the list you provided I would say CB is better than IHOP and Denny's. Neither one are terrible, but they just don't move the needle for me.I'll ask you again: what are the other chain restaurants that serve the same type of food (breakfast/family/comfort) that make CB look like a high-quality outfit?

So because they serve filet mignon that makes them better? Yeah, that's sound logic. I didn't even know people actually went to TCF for a bland filet. Those type of people would sadden me and I feel sorry for them.ETA: Of course all of this is irrelevant because their competition this round is The Cheesecake Factory, which unquestionably serves better quality food than Cracker Barrel. TCF serves filet mignon. CB serves chicken fried steak.
WTH is wrong with you? You used to seem so reasonable. This is just ... Please seek help....their competitors are Denny's, IHOP, Bob Evans, Perkins, etc. all of which are comparable or better quality than Cracker Barrel.
We're just one more year away!!!11!! He needs more time!!!111!Could've predicted that John Bunting would cause a giant argument.
