Yes

Occasionally, but I prefer a home-cooked meal or small local joints, although I do like eating at the Golden Corral and occasionally the Red Lobster. And as far as fast food goes, the only ones I eat at regularly are Subway and pizza places.

No,I support the small Mom and Pop operations. The food is always better.

Yes but McDonald's hits the spot just once every 2 or 3 months. If I go more it seems to be terrible.
Wendy's I could do once a month easily. Burger King same.

And I would just remind everyone (including myself) that it is not mandatory to order the biggest big-mac and extra fries, the 2 gallon pepsi, milkshake and sundae.
For well over a decade you can even get salads, lean fajitas, diet cokes and just the regular sized combos.

Only once in a while for convenience we normally cook at home.

Once in a blue. That particular Mcdonalds pictured isn't a restaurant, it's a zoo.

I have low standards, and I like to know what to expect, food wise. But, even within chains, I have favorites because of the people that work there or the average for getting my orders correct.

Yeah, I've tried and every time the food was so gross, I stopped eating at Mcd's years ago because it was gross.
What's up with the burgers too? If you're going to make a square burger then you need to make a square bun too because last time I checked a square peg doesn't fit in a round hole. lol
Same thing with Hardy's... I wondered to myself "Hey, why haven't I eaten at Hardy's in a while?" One bite and I remembered... YUK!

I would have to say "yes", but not very often; maybe one or twice a month. Usually KFC, Arby's or Long John Silver's, not really McDonald's or Burger King so much. I only eat there in an emergency, i.e., I'm starving to death, it's the closest thing nearby, and I am nowhere close to home.

I don't necessarily "like" it... I just don't mind it. I go to places like Applebee's as well, which are chains, too.

it applies to all restaurants where you go and the food is the same with the same name of company, if there are more than 2 it's a chain restaurant, not that complicated to understand...0.0'

But I will for my children if they do good on their report cards because that's the only time I will buy fast food for my family.

And besides check out the McDonald's Playland video on Youtube that a professor from BYU made, you will see my other reason for not wanting to eat at a chain restaurant.

I LOVE THEM!!

Seriously, I do. I have gone to great lengths to eat at chain restaurants which weren't available in my country, including taking long bus trips, begging my friends for transportation and I once even wrote a letter to the American army base for a day pass because I heard there was a Taco Bell there (did not get a response)
I just moved to the UK and the selection is so much better here! I'd probably turn into a giant meat balloon if I went to the US. Whatever, I'd float around satiated and happy as can be ^^

Sometimes. Though I don't consider McD's a restaurant, I'm thinking more like Red Lobster, Olive Garden or Outback steakhouse, and yea, sometimes I like going to them, but I prefer home cooking most of the time.

Not really. Mickey D's is fast food and as such not a restaurant. Chili's Appleby's and others like them are barely 1 step above but they have beer and wine. Real restaurants are not chains and have great menus. These are few and far between.

Yes, but I don't think of McDonalds as a chain "restaurant"...I'm thinking more like Chili's or Chevy's or something...
