Panera makes killer salads and sandwiches. Not to mention the bread, bagels, pastries.
There is a similar chain called Corner Bakery that's also very good.

Eddie Rockets. Loved it when I used to live in Ireland. Unfortunately, we don't have it in Germany. Maybe I should open one...
God, I miss those chicken tenders...

i love Chili's... awesome blossom :)
and i love Johnny Rocket's onion rings.
Is the Corner Bakery the same company as Panera? Because their chicken soup (Corner Bakery) is delish.
Anyway...
I love Cosi
Cheesecake Factory....(by the way, the low-carb cheesecake rocks!)

I get into serious trouble at Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles. Not really a 'chain' in the standard sense, but there are a few in the LA area.
Chili's and Pizzaria Uno. I also love Panera.
But the best, though it only has 3 locations so far (Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Chicago), is Grand Luxe Cafe. Great food, HUGE portions (one entree or dessert is good for 2 people), gorgeous atmosphere, stellar service, and very reasonable prices. It is an amazing find.

Truly, Cheesecake Factory would win this for me but since I can only go to one when I visit the fam in Florida (although I understand there is one somewhere in the wasteland of New Jersey...), I will go with my favorite chain here in the city: Chevy's. MMMM. Margaritas...
there was a local chain here in NYC that closed a few years ago and i miss it terribly... the Royal Canadian Pancake House...

Does Krispy Kreme count as a resturant?
Hmm...I don't know if I have a favorite. Sbarro probably doesn't count, either. Maybe Friendly's? I'm easily pleased.

"Wasteland of NJ"? The location in NJ are the Menlo Park Mall and the River Edge Mall. I wouldn't in any way consider either location a wasteland (as the CCF scouts locations where they will make a profit).
