The Bottom 10 Restaurants

The Bottom 10 Restaurants

We're not saying these are the worst restaurants in the world. But they're definitely not the best.

1. McDonald's

We know, we know. It's fast food. But that's no excuse for serving up greasy, unhealthy fare day in and day out. Sorry, Mickey D's.

2. Olive Garden

It's pretty much agreed upon that Olive Garden is the worst Italian restaurant around. The food is bland, the service is slow, and the prices are way too high for what you get. Pass on this one.

3. Applebee's

Applebee's has been called everything from "mediocre" to "terrible." The food is nothing special, and it often arrives cold and unappetizing. We suggest avoiding this chain restaurant if you're looking for a good meal.

4. Buffalo Wild Wings

This popular wing spot is unfortunately not known for its great food. The wings are often overcooked and dry, and the sauce options are limited. You're better off going somewhere else for your chicken fix .

5. Chili's

Chili's is another chain restaurant that just doesn't deliver on its promise of good food. The menu is uninspired, and the food is often overcooked or bland. 

6. IHOP

IHOP is best known for its pancakes, but unfortunately they're not very good. They're often dry and flavorless, and the rest of the menu isn't anything to write home about either. You're better off going to a different breakfast spot.

7. Denny's

Denny's is another popular breakfast spot that just doesn't live up to the hype. The pancakes are often dry and bland, and the eggs are often overcooked or undercooked. We suggest avoiding this restaurant if you're looking for a good breakfast meal.

8. Arby's

Arby's is best known for its roast beef sandwiches, but unfortunately they're not very good. The beef is often dry and flavorless, and the bread is often stale. We suggest avoiding this restaurant if you're looking for a good sandwich.

9. Sonic

Sonic is best known for its fast food , but unfortunately it's not very good. The burgers are often overcooked and dry, and the fries are often soggy and greasy. We suggest avoiding this restaurant if you're looking for a good meal.

10. Hardee's

Hardee's is another fast food restaurant that just doesn't deliver on its promise of good food. The burgers are often overcooked and dry, and the fries are often soggy and greasy. We suggest avoiding this restaurant if you're looking for a good meal.
