Lol, you can be assured that's not it. Millennials don't know how to cook.

We can cook the food they serve at Applebee's. Just buy it from the freezer section of Walmart and read the bag.

Name stigma is a real thing. Applebee's could change their menu and start serving the best food in the world, but if i told someone i was taking them to Applebee's, they would probably look at me like i was trailer trash.


Yep.

New brand name and new menu and they'd be fine. A lot of them are in busy shopping centers and would get noticed.

When BWW went to Pepsi, that was the end for my business! If you can't afford Coke products, you will lose me every time!

I'll go to a BWW occasionally when traveling to watch sports. The service is normally terrible. I'd never eat at one if not traveling. Or any chain for that matter.

This is true. I can't go because I don't own a single Tap Out shirt.

I've always wondered how Baton Rouge sustains two Buffalo Wild Wings

Walk into the one on Bluebonnet and your question will be answered immediately, when there's no host to greet you, your table isn't served for 20 mins, and everyone in the restaurant is staring at you bc you're the only one that looks different

So shite food and terrible management of almost every single one of their individual stores has nothing to do with it? Ok upper management. Sounds like you have your finger right on the pulse.

All crap food, and the only reason I would eat at any of them is if I am traveling for work and one of them is convenient to my hotel or in the airport. Even then I am trying something local if it isn't too much hassle.


...crap food and tired old concepts as well.....so many better options these days

Yelp has made it way easier to find great quality local restaurants no matter if you are local or traveling.

When I travel, meals are my opportunity to try local craft beers. Chain restaurants never cross my mind as dinner.

Maybe they should consider not getting their food pre-made from Sysco. Yeah, there are better pre-made things in the grocery store now. Hell, frozen dinners taste better than half of the stuff at Applebee's

If a restaurant has cheese sticks, potato skins, or anything that every other chain has, I'll pass. I love unique appetizers that are outside the box.
