If we're talking national Casual Dining Chains, of the Friday's or Appleby's variety, we've got The Cheesecake Factory in Southside Works and nothing else? I can't think of a single other one inside the city limits. There's a ton on McKnight, in Robinson and Monroeville but for some reason, they stay out of the city. Maybe there's some tax or zoning reason for that.

Two Five guys, only a surprisingly few McDonald’s really. One Boston market. Maybe three burger kings? A handful of Wendy’s, Ruth’s Chris downtown, maybe three arbys, Choolah is a chain but small one. One Applebees right at the city limits near Edgewood. What else?

Station Square is the city right? It has Hard Rock, Joe’s Crab Shack, and a few others., but it is out of the way over there. And Bar Louie and maybe something else by the stadiums? There aren’t too many, I definitely wouldn’t consider it a chain restaurant city.

They’re chains but I feel like smaller chains with some personality so it’s not as obvious

There used to be multiple McDonalds downtown. But they were pretty run down and run poorly. Only one left is Market Square.
