I just got back from Chipotle and it is over 8 dollars for steak bowl. Starbucks frappuccino
is getting size but pricey. Jumba juice has gone downhill but still 5 or 6 dollars.Subway got rid of five dollars long.Red lobster has downhill.
I love these places but it not just worth it going to.

None of those are actual restaurants...they are chains that serve food...what they serve and how it's made is made at corporate headquarters. Use you buying power elsewhere.

They are technical restaurant because they serve food.

Time to scope out non franchised restaurants. I go to local coffee shops, I get my juices/smoothies at Asian markets, local small places for seafood and Mexican joints. Give your taste buds a real treat.

What? It's food. It's served. It's a restaurant. ... ...

A restaurant is unique it has chefs or just darn good cooks and staff that create dishes...chains do as they are told by others miles away and often with no actual restaurant experience in many cases...and very far removed the rest of the time.

Don't complain about restaurants going down hill and then name only chains.

I know what you mean. And it doesn't matter if its a chain or a private restaurant. Some places just change period and go down hill or raise their prices and offer less amounts and taste. So I do agree with other poster to try out some different places so you can discover some new favorites.

Well small businesses are terrible too.

A restaurant serves something that is or looks like food and charges you for it. End. I don't eat at chain restaurants. I'd rather go to a market and buy a piece of fruit, or anything.
