Krystal is pretty bad last I tried it (years ago, on a trip). The bad individual places go bust pretty quick obviously. I'm sure some here could dine at any one of these restaurants on the list and find it mediocre, or over priced. Bones, for example, is more of a social thing than a great steakhouse in my view. We dined there once. It was packed on a Tuesday.
I've taken people to the local Korean Chicken place and they've all said it was fantastic. There are a number of other small places near us that are very good in my view, but almost unknown for such lists. We don't have many national chains near us fortunately, there is a Panera and a Chipotle, I can't think of another place in walking distance.
The nearest McDs is about two miles distant, I ain't walking for that. Well, we have a Chick Fil A down the street too.
