Restaurant chains you wish you had near you

So much good food that I don't have access to, as for whatever reason, the chain does not have a local facility.

1. Panda express. When i lived in Nevada, I once ate there every day sometimes twice a day for a solid month.
2. Red Robyn. Good burgers and endless baskets of seasoned fries? Count me in.
3. Steak and Shake. Great small fries, excellent shakes and tasty burgers. I once drove 200 miles roundtrip to get a bag of burgers for my wife. That store has now closed. Gas was 1.10 back then.
 
I wish we had White Castle here in LA. I've never had a White Castle burger so I'd like to try it.

That's pretty much it. We have In-N-Out so no need for Five Guys. Yea I said it.
 
In-N-Out Burger. Just so I can at least try it without having to goto Cali.

Can we do the reverse too? Sonic. I always saw the Sonic commercials and they made it look good. Then we finally got one up here in NE. Not impressed.

I, too would like a white castle, but I don't think I need one near me. I just need to try it.

There are 2 five guys here in Sacramento (that I know of) and I didn't care for it too much. Even eating it there, I didn't like the fact that the burgers were soggy with grease. The topping options were nice though.

OOOOO speaking of Sactown, I wish I could get a Squeeze Burger down here. By far my favorite burger of all time. Damn my mouth waters just thinking of it.

We have sonics here. About as good as school lunch food.
 
Hmm, just had an idea. Food swap!

I'll trade Krispy Kreme and some Chic Filet for some panda express. We can ship them over night.
 
As much as I love the great outdoors, I could never live outside the city. I have an in and out within walking distance and a five guys 10 minutes away.
 
Burger Kings are really scarce here in Texas. I miss my Rodeo Burgers....

I miss Hungry Howie's Pizza too. They had a bunch of locations in MI, none in the south though.
 
Heart Attack Grill 😱

Roscoes House of Chicken & Waffles, WOW Wingery, Round Table Pizza, Famous Daves BBQ, Rally's, Fuddruckers The Counter & Cluck-U. I dunno if Cluck U's a chain, but I had a friend in DC who said it was awesome and she said they deep fried their biscuits. That place has to be exceptional.

Fuck chain restaurants. I much prefer the "hole in the wall" places - tastier food, unique atmosphere, and often better value.
I agree, but there's a time and place for everything.

there aren't many "hole in the wall" places with a drive-through or where I can be in and out in under 10 minutes.
