The answer is … Chili’s. No wait, that’s only according to a new study focused on the Best Cheap Family Restaurant. Other surveys give top honors to The Cheesecake Factory. Or Bonefish Grill. Or In-N-Out Burger. Or Chick-fil-A. Or, well, you get the idea.
Every “best” list is inevitably met with critics who are eager to argue why the rankings are flawed. Part of the reason why these lists are created to begin with is because they’re bound to be followed with discussion.
In a foodie world that runs the gamut from Chef Boyardee to Nobu and everything in between, little is more subjective than the personal tastes that factor into reviews of food and restaurants. It’s no surprise, then, that there’s rarely a consensus about any “best” restaurant.
