Long long ago I went to Denny's for dinner, for some reason, and we ordered "fried mixed vegetables".  They brought us canned vegall driping in grease.  They did take it back.  These cooks at various places often are very poorly trained, or quickly trained on some menu items.  It was probably a Tuesday and we wanted to eat dinner without any hassle or much expense.

Denny's used to have a Grand Slam Breakfast for $5 or something that I'd get on occasion.  On the whole, it is in the running for worst chain IMHO.

What else are the worst chains in your view?

I don't care for KFC or Taco Bell.  We often breakfast at McD's when traveling.  The wife likes it.  We'll get two Subways when traveling at times if there is likely to be a spot in a nice area to dine outside, weather permitting.  We used to go to a Ruby Tuesday's in Ohio because we got to know the folks working there a bit and it was relatively inexpensive.  I still like Bob Evan's pretty well, the wife doesn't.  Cracker Barrel usually is OK.

Back in the college days after a night of drinking, getting a Chili Size (an open faced hamburger covered in chili and cheese) from Denny's was great, if we weren't near a White Castle

after a night of drinking it was usually whatever was open on the way home

all about convenience, not about quality of selection

White Castle is the worst chain that I have had. 

I am open to the idea that Krystal might be even worse than White Castle, since it is a southern White Castle knock off. 

But their movie was pretty funny.

Me neither but when I used to work afternoon or graveyard shift I use to stop there quite a bit.Their SuperBird - a Grilled Turkey Club or Patty Melts were decent with fries on the side with soup/salad.OK fare at good price that was convenient - so a win for me.Use to stop at Bob Evans also for their biscuits and gravy,which were GOOD

A Denny's when you're bombed is pretty solid. Otherwise less so.

It used to be good road trip fare, but that stuff has just improved a lot and phones make Denny's less of a thing. Anyone else like Cracker Barrel? The name belies a perfectly solid restaurant.

I think Cracker Barrel changed their Sunday fried chicken recipe, and I'm not a fan. I used to go there regularly when I lived in Georgia. We managed to stop on the way back from a wedding on Phoenix last year, and the fried chicken was not what I remember at all. But I'm sure the rest of their menu is fine. But fried chicken and sweet tea on a Sunday was great hangover food...

Applebee's and TGI Fridays can DIAF. 

I actually like Chili's, as far as national chains go. 

And I can get behind the soup/salad/breadsticks combo at Olive Garden.

Krystal is definitely an inferior southern knockoff of White Castle.

That said, if you went to a White Castle with the mindset that it would be good, you were doing it wrong. It's good, in its own terrible way, and that's what it is and what it should be. 

Haven't seen the movie.

I can eat their chicken and their fries. They aren't "good" but they are edible. I have tried to eat their burgers on a few occasions, and never once made it beyond the first bite. Even alcohol has not been able to successfully assist in getting me beyond that one bite threshold.

It's just horrid. steamed meat, with a layer of onion paste twice as thick as the patty, on a soggy bun? Why? 

An entire briefcase full of them? :a102:
