What are the best places to take your family to dinner?
The new issue of Consumer Reports lists the hottest chain restaurants for great dining experiences - as well as the ones you want to avoid.
The rankings are based on information from 149,000 meals eaten by 66,000 readers at restaurants across the country, and you may not have heard of some of the restaurants at the top of the list.
"A lot of them are quite new," said Todd Marks, senior editor of Consumer Reports. "A lot of them are owned by megacompanies, but they've expanded, making them more accessible to more people. If you're driving along the roadside of America, or outside the New York area, you'll find them."
The rankings were based on food quality, service and ambiance. Consumer Reports ranked the top chains where the average meal goes for about $15 to $19:
Claim Jumper
Romano's Macaroni Grill
Johnny Carino's
Abuelo's Mexican Food Embassy
Texas Roadhouse
