I think R2R was making a point that some people here are probably full of shite. Becasue no one here ever eats at those places so how are they always full.
Wrong. I was countering your point that because somewhere is crowded then it must be good. That is inherently flawed argument that I see made on this site every single day, whether the topic is food, movies, sports, etc.
popularity =/= quality
and yes there is obviously room for debate here considering the subjective nature of defining what is "quality," but I think (as far as this board is concerned) that we can all agree that just because places like McDonald's are crowded or movies like Twilight pull in tons of audience members, that doesn't define them as being good, or even acceptable to anyone with a lick of taste.

I heartily agree with this but let me add, in many cases, the popularity of a place is driven in large part by its price point. Many years ago when I was struggling to raise a family, a monthly sojourn to Pizza Hut, Ryan's, etc. was considered a treat because we just couldn't afford to bring the whole gang out to eat that often. And then there were special occasions like birthday or anniversary : Steak and Ale, baby.
