We’re creating a chain restaurant tier list. Welcome to “Good Mythical More.” Is it gonna get controversial up in here? I don’t know. I certainly hope so. I certainly hope so. It’ll only get more people interested. You tell us where we’re wrong with your comment power. We’re gonna talk a whole lot about Cracker Barrel and their decision to be on this list that we have put together. And we’re, that’s all. What? Their decision to, they decided to- They, yeah. Be up for consideration on the list. That was just a little joke about how what we’re not gonna talk about related to Cracker Barrel. Okay. The logo? Yeah. Or the political ramifications of the logo? Yeah. Which I don’t, okay. All right. But their casserole side, get it. Can I just go ahead and start and say that when you’re looking at this list right here, I feel like you have, the scale is from D Tier to S tier and you have to have things in every single tier. So even though you might not, because you’re doing this on the scale of these types of restaurants. Yeah. So I mean, I actually just… I’m gonna start at the bottom. Yeah. I don’t wanna start at the top. I definitely see some that I’m gonna put at S tier and I don’t wanna start with those. So, what are the worst? Well, I’m gonna point out you got Longhorn Steakhouse and you got Texas Roadhouse. Texas Roadhouse. They got the rolls. They are good. They got the rolls. You’re right, Stevie. Longhorn is great as well though. Is Longhorn good? No, yeah. What does Longhorn have? So, it’s basically the same thing, but I get my parents gift certificates to Longhorn. That’s how much they like it. What? It’s not just ’cause that’s what’s closest? Is there one in Fuquay or something? Yeah. I don’t know where there is one, but I just- Is it nicer? You get it for your parents? It’s still D-list. No, it is not D-list. It is probably A. It’s nicer. Okay, all right. It’s nicer than Texas Roadhouse. Is that its deal? No, it’s a nicer restaurant, but the food is not nicer. It looks like it’s advertising itself to be nicer. The food is excellent. Are you not listening to me? I’m not saying- I’m not believing you is the problem. You’ve never eaten there! I haven’t. Well, it’s like, it shows like asparagus and salmon and a steak on a fire. The food is excellent. As someone who’s eaten there multiple times with both my parents and my wife’s parents. It’s A, go ahead and put Longhorn in A. Just do it. What? No Rhett. It’s A, it’s great. It’s great. Longhorn’s great. Just ’cause your pro Texas Roadhouse doesn’t mean you have to be anti… Yeah, you don’t know anything. You don’t know anything about Longhorn. Let’s bring it down to a simmer. Well, you’re saying it’s bad and you’ve never been there. All right, we can agree- It’s not the Sizzler. We can agree that- Are you’re thinking it’s the Sizzler? Yeah. It’s not the Sizzler. The Sizzler’s not even up there. Okay. Here’s something we can agree on, Red Robin. C. Overrated. Not, you don’t need to go there. Because it’s just burgers. I’m sure you can find a better place to get a burger. It’s not D though. D, it’s D. It’s not D. Then what’s D, IHOP? Applebee’s is D. Applebee’s is D. I have a special place in my heart. But remember “Friday Night Lights,” that’s where everyone will go. And “Talladega Nights.” Yeah, one time I got some really delicious dirty martinis at Applebee’s. Okay, then. Something has to be D then. Then nothing’s D. I think Applebee’s is, I’m willing to go D. You think Applebee’s versus Ruby Tuesday? Where is Ruby Tuesday? Ruby Tuesday. We had a Ruby Tuesday- Put Applebee’s at C. And an Applebee’s in Fuquay. And I went to Ruby Tuesdays more often than I went to Applebee’s. Ruby Tuesday has a robust salad bar. Very robust. Oh. I mean, they’re no higher than C, I’m just telling you. Do you think they still have a salad bar post-pandemic? I wouldn’t know ’cause I don’t- Here, I don’t think we should put anybody at D because we would accept a sponsorship from any of these. Yeah, C means you still get a sponsorship. That’s our line. No one’s at D. No one’s D just in case. Ruby Tuesday, D. Because we might become the face of Applebee’s. I mean we could only dream. I could see that. We could be the face of Applebee’s. Hold on, you put it at D though. No, nothing’s at D. Nothing’s at D. We also will be the face of Ruby Tuesday’s. So, just working backwards here. We don’t wanna hate on anything but Fridays, it try, they’re trying so hard. They have a salad bar still. Yep. Ruby Tuesday? At Ruby Tuesday. Ruby Tuesday used to be… That was the top search. The Friday from like four days earlier. C too. And then they had to distance themself from Fridays ’cause they didn’t wanna be associated. TGIFriday is C. Is C. Applebee’s, Ruby Tuesday, TGIFriday’s, you’re getting the same thing. Throw a dart, you hit somewhere, whatever. That’s, it’s all the same. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Ruby Tuesday is offering a 30-day subscription pass to their salad bar that costs 49.99. You pay $50 and you can come back for 30 days in a row? For 30 days in a row and you get that salad bar. It’s a Garden Bar Pass. It’s not doing anything for me. I don’t know how to feel about that. I know. It’s not doing anything for me. So you bought a month-long subscription to a salad bar. I don’t need a salad subscription. That’s the last subscription that I need. Is it? This is an idea that Ruby herself came up with and no one had the heart to tell her in the boardroom, “Weird. You’re getting too weird, Ruby.” I feel as if there’s a group of, you know, older gentlemen who could be perceived as like typical bar goers or what do you call it? Regulars. Yeah. Yeah. But instead of an alcohol bar, they’re at Ruby Tuesday’s salad bar. Eating a salad. And they know each other, you know. Every day. And we could be the face of those men. Every day, 30 days in a row. We would be willing to do that. Salad bar. We’ll take anything. Some days you just go and so like, hey, it’s Tuesday at Ruby Tuesdays and I got my subscription. All I’m getting is diced ham. I’m getting a whole pile of diced ham today. And put it in your pockets and walking out. I’m putting it in my plate and I’m eating it. Oh. Okay, Buffalo Wild Wings. A. B. Hold on. Let’s just, let’s be real here. Buffalo Wild Wings. If you’re talking wing restaurants, the wings are really good. The environment is great because, so like- A lot of TVs. It’s sensory overload. Hold on. For people who like- TVs? People, for what it is, it’s really working. It is a place to go and watch sports and eat wings. They have a lot of flavors. They have a lot of other really good items as well. Like their sides are really good. Buffalo Wild Wings is easily A tier. You can’t go B tier with Buffalo Wild Wings. You just can’t do that. I mean, if I talk long enough, it’ll move to S Tier. I just feel like- Listen to basic over here. You gotta go A. You gotta go A Tier. You gotta go A. It’s a wings restaurant. Okay, dude. What’s the other wing place? Wingstop. Wingstop is better, right? Wingstop, there’s not a TV in there. There’s, as a restaurant. He’s loving that TV. If we’re talking the restaurant experience, I’m assuming I’m stepping into this place and eating at all of these places. Is it, are the tables sticky? Yeah, you gotta drink a lot of beer for the atmosphere at Buffalo Wild Wings to be a A Tier but. I’m pushing it to B, man. Don’t be Los Angeles on me. You need to be a man of the people here. I think maybe outside of Los Angeles it’s better. What’s that? Fine. I think outside of Los Angeles, the restaurants probably are taken care of more. I don’t know. I just, there’s some in LA that are… Yeah. I’m just saying I think the people like it. I mean, it’s always busy. It’s always busy. You always gotta wait for it. Every time you go, you gotta wait for it. We’ll put Texas Roadhouse at B ’cause I don’t wanna talk about it. But I want it, I would want to put it at A. I don’t have much of an opinion about it. You can put it at A if you want to. Put it in A. I’m saying I’m not, I don’t have opinions about things that I don’t have recent experience with. Like some people. Red Robin needs to be at least C. I’m willing to put it at D. I don’t know if I want a sponsorship. At this point, I do not think you guys are getting a Red Robin. You’ve never said anything nice about Red Robin. Let’s be honest, I think. I think it’s fair. But we also know that’s not how sponsorships work. I don’t- If they don’t see this video or the other ones, then I’m sure. I don’t think it’s all the way at D. Just legitimately. I think that- It’s expensive. There’s so many better burgers. The world doesn’t need Red Robin anymore. It’s not- It had its time. If something needs to be at D, we can put it at D. We’re never gonna get a sponsorship though. And I could have been the Red Robin. I mean, it could have been me. It could have been me, but not anymore. Do you wanna- There’s no such thing as a Red Robin. That’s a cardinal. But that, but it could be though. It could have been. What could have been. It doesn’t even exist. It’s led us, it’s gaslit us to thinking that there’s a red robin and there’s not. Okay, put it in D. There’s no Red Robin. Now, last time we went to BJ’s, we ended up going to PF Chang’s. BJ’s… Because there was too many people at BJ’s. And it didn’t even matter that we were C-tier celebrities. We could not get a table for nothing. There was nothing that we could say, you know. And so we walked over to PF Chang’s. We had a great meal. Not on the list, by the way. Only two tables. BJ’s is getting a big old C from us because it, the only saving grace is that big old cookie. But the pizza’s not great. But you guys as the face of BJ’s? Yeah, move it to B. I mean. Move it to B. Here’s why. It’s so popular. ‘Cause of the double meaning? You have to take into account that the people of Bakersfield love BJ’s. Yeah. There’s so many people from Bakersfield are loving BJ’s. Stevie, what do you want us to do in the ad for BJ’s? Huh? What do you want us to do? Well, we had an idea. It was called “Everybody loves BJ’s.” Yeah. And they didn’t go for that. There’s a lot- Everybody doesn’t love BJ’s. Everybody should. I agree with that. Yeah. Everybody gets BJ, no. We get you. You get us. We love BJ’s and it’s just the two of us. You get us. We love BJ’s and we’re waving on the sign. Are hands are- Maybe for your anniversary. Like, you know, that’s a good time to get BJ’s. Yeah, get BJ’s for your anniversary. Moving right along. The laughter has completely stopped. Let’s place IHOP at C. What’s the IHOP versus Denny’s? We’ve got really close to a sponsorship. Situation. Yeah, we gotta go to A with them. Yeah. We like IHOP. It’s a diner. We’ve done something with Denny’s and we want to do something with IHOP. And you know what it is? You get, you know what you’re getting into when you go in there. A. A. IHOP’s A. We love it. And Denny’s? Denny’s is, oh, is on the list, yes. They’re tied, they’re both great. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. And just you understand, we are, we’re taking into account, it’s our personal situation here when we do in our ranking, you know? Right. Marketing relationships. Yeah. So this may not actually reflect our opinion, but it reflects our official opinion. I love Red Lobster. I do wanna know, at a certain point I wanna predict where people are blowing up the comments and disagreeing with us, but we’ll wait on that. People hate this already. When was the last time you went to Red Lobster? Never, but- When was the last time you had a bad experience at Red Lobster? I think I’ve only been one time, but I think it was like 20 years ago. Cheddar Bay Biscuits… Is reason enough to go. But they have like redone things, right? They have a new CEO. They got a new CEO that made a decision that they did some kind of all you can eat thing and it backfired because people love it. They love to eat it. And then they had to take it away and there was a controversy. So, basically they- They were losing on it. They got dinged because they’re so good. A tier. A Tier. But you didn’t answer my question. When was the last time you had it? Four years ago. Oh. What? I remember we went. That’s pretty recent. I think I’ve only eaten there twice in my entire life. Really? But I miss it. A tier’s a little bit hefty, I see, from us. Yeah, we gotta move some stuff down. Let’s move Longhorn and Texas both down to B. ‘Cause nobody knows about ’em. I’m telling you, Longhorn’s great. But if you move Texas down to B along with it, it’s fine. I mean, my parents are gonna be really upset. My parents and my in-laws are gonna disown me. My in-laws, we would always go to Outback. We’d meet ’em at Outback. Outback is good. Outback is great. We discovered on this show that their burgers are great. They got great burgers. Atmosphere’s a little bit lacking. Well, it’s Australian, but not too hard. But it’s not really. Exactly. They have good burgers. They’ve got good little ribs. Crap, man, I’m telling- I thought from, I thought you were avoiding talking about Outback ’cause you didn’t wanna talk about your S Tier, and I thought that’s something that you guys would agree on. That is what’s happening. That is what’s happening. Yeah. You wanna talk about Olive Garden? I don’t think that’s S Tier. Chili’s is not S Tier, but it- I know, there is one that is so obviously S Tier in my book. Right, right. That there’s no con, there’s just no conversation about it. Agreed, agreed. And we recently, we actually got together with our wives and our friends. Christy. Christy had the idea to get this S Tier thing as the food that we would have delivered to your house. Brilliant. Everybody was picking their favorite dish and their favorite apps. On the group chat. And it was an incredible night that I will never forget. Let’s go ahead and say it. Cheesecake Factory. S Tier. It is, what? You’re wrong if you disagree! You’re wrong, Brittany. It sucks. What? S Tier. Mikayla doesn’t like it. Brittany’s over there in the BS Tier. Have you? That’s right, BS Tier. Have you been through the menu? Have you tried everything? Of course she hadn’t, that’s impossible. It’s the biggest menu ever and it’s all bad. It’s not all bad. It’s not all bad. No, it’s great. Who thinks it’s great? Everybody else. We got a lot of great, we got a lot of great. Mikayla and Brittany are hurting over there. Cheesecake Factory’s great. I don’t know what to do with Olive Garden. Are they still- Are they still olivin’? I mean, they’re the same thing they were 40 years ago, right? Well, 20 years ago. What we discovered when we had Olive Garden on this show, which is the only time I’ve had it. You can’t eat it in a moving vehicle. Is that the taste was good. On this show, the taste was good. And you know in the restaurant it’s good. My mom and I had many dates at Olive Garden. I think it’s B Tier. I think it’s in the middle of the pack, Olive Garden. Breadsticks and bottomless I can’t believe we put IHOP and Denny’s A. Well, we can move them. We have to keep ’em together. Let’s keep ’em together and move them to B and let’s move Olive Garden to A But no, no, we can’t do that. We can’t do that. We can’t move Olive Garden to A. Yeah, ’cause it can’t beat Longhorn and Texas Roadhouse. Why? I think we move Longhorn. It’s Italian. I think we move Longhorn back to A to make it. I know, we’re not. Shut. The door is shut on that. Lemme see what the internet thinks about Longhorn versus Texas Roadhouse because I don’t know about… Cracker Barrel. Cracker Barrel has a shop and it’s ridiculous. I love it. They have so many things. And then if you go at a certain day of the week, they have just things that are just on that day. And they’re really good. Their sides are really good. They have a lot of selection. Country fried steak if you want it. Chicken and dumplings. Where else are you gonna go to get chicken and dumplings? Nowhere. I’m saying it’s A. Cracker Barrel is A. Longhorn makes a better steak and is quieter. Than what? Than Texas Roadhouse. That’s the quintessential, that is the opinion of the internet. Yeah, it’s too quiet. You can throw peanuts on the floor at Texas Roadhouse. They’re equal, dude. Longhorn Steakhouse is generally considered to offer higher quality, fresher tasting steaks compared to Texas Roadhouse. I think we’re gonna have to do a food feud. I think we gotta move Longhorn to A. I know you, no, the door is closed. I think we did. The door can’t close. Meanwhile, Chili’s. Oh no, we haven’t pitted Longhorn and Texas against each other. We’ve just done Texas and Outback. Let’s do that. We’ll keep ’em both in B Tier, and then let’s do it. We gotta see if there’s one nearby. And then- I think Chili’s is A. Chili’s is a classic. I had my first date with Christy at Chili’s. And it’s consistent. You know what you’re gonna get. I had my first date with Jessie at Outback. Well, we’re talking about Chili’s right now. I know, but like, I’m just saying, those are the last two things left. Are you fine with Chili’s being A? I mean, I don’t think it’s quite S Tier. Gen Z loves Chili’s. I love Chili’s. I think it’s A. I think Chili’s is A. Let’s go to A right now. Let’s see how that looks. Outback, should we confer? Should we confer? Should we confer? You think it should be S Tier? I do. If we can put… The Big O we call it. Grab a BJ and then head over to the Big O. When was the last time you had something bad at Cracker Barrel though? I’m almost feeling like Cracker Barrel should be S Tier with Outback. Cracker Barrel can get shady because they’re always on interstate exits. What do you mean? It’s an exit. You’re an on ramp away from disaster. But there’s no evil that gets through the gift shop. You know what I’m saying? It’s like a fly door. You go in there and the riffraff gets caught in the gift shop, doesn’t make it into the restaurant. They don’t make it through? No, they get- No, they make it through. They get distracted. Tables are sticky. It’s a gift shop that’s incredible. Listen, you were researching Longhorn and I already said all this. Why’d you put it at A? Put it at S. Because it’s- I don’t think. ‘Cause it has its issues. I don’t think you can put Outback at S if you don’t bring Cracker Barrel with it. Throw Outback up to S and let’s see how it looks. Look at that. It’s a nice bell curve. I will say I have heard you both talk about Outback an infinite amount of times. Never negative. But I’ve never heard you talk about Cracker Barrel. And we’ve never said anything negative about Outback. They’ve just- No. Something needs to go to C. Something from B needs to go to C. Why? Buffalo. Well, Buffalo is already A. Buffalo needs to go to B. And Longhorn, BJ’s can go to C. Yep. But that’s perfect. Like that? That’s perfect distribution. Right there, that’s it. That’s it. That’s it. Now, what are people in the comments upset about? A lot, a lot, a lot, a lot. With this? What is the most, okay, what is the most offensive thing that we’ve done here, Brittany? Put Cheesecake Factory in S Tier. Okay, besides that. Besides that. Chili’s. I think IHOP in C Tier and Denny’s in C Tier is a little bit crazy. That’s too high. That’s B, they’re in B. Oh, that’s B. Yeah, that’s way too high. Oh, they IHOP and Denny’s should be lower. I agree with that. Yeah, and BJ’s should be higher because of the Pizookie. Nope. And the innuendo. But we’re not gonna switch the two because we, of the relationships that we’re trying to build. But we, yeah, right. IHOP and Denny’s- They’re not trying to be anything they’re not. They’re not technically in C, but we’re leaving ’em in B to leave the option open to be the face of either of them. All right, I respect that. Yep. And we definitely wanna be the face of BJ’s everywhere. Mm hm, yes. Better than being the something else of BJ’s everywhere. Watch “Emily, Have You Seen This?” on the Mythical Society.
