I don’t know what the most underrated is, but I have to put Chick Fil A as the most overrated. It’s really just glorified fast food.

Would absolutely love to hear OP’s most underrated if he thinks CFA is supposed to be a restaurant and not fast food.

You do realize CFA is, in fact, fast food right?

And arguably the #1 fast food place in the country.

This thread could have been a lot better without your final sentence. All the attention will be on that, which isn’t what you were asking.

As to your original question, I typically find that “chains” are underrated and unique spots are overrated, because people generally like to feel special/unique/sophisticated even though we’re all doing the same thing wherever we go… putting food and calories in our mouth.

It's not glorified fast food, it's literally fast food.

Yes but it's still awesome. Those chicken sandwiches are amazing.

Olive Garden. I don't understand the appeal.

The breadsticks are just okay and the entrees are meh.

Underrated: Goodwood Grill, very good lunches, ridiculously large portions, low prices. My lunch is also my dinner, I can't eat all of that.

Overrated: Chimes East, just go and you'll see what I'm talking about.

I don't consider fast food places as restaurants.

Neither had I until this weekend. The only reason I tried it was because of the love it gets here, and I enjoyed it.
