Consumer Reports magazine offers a list of good and bad U.S. chain restaurants
Skift Take
You may not want to count on Consumer Reports for advice about fine gourmet experiences, but their insight on cleanliness is worth a serious look, especially if you'll be on the U.S. interstate system this summer.
Whether you’re traveling the interstate, looking for a sumptuous supper, or just want to get away from the kitchen this summer, Consumer Reports surveyed 47,565 diners to help find the best meals and best deals at 102 of the nation’s biggest sit-down chain restaurants.
“Americans spend about $1.7 billion per day at restaurants. That’s close to the amount they spend each year on indigestion remedies. Clearly, diners deserve a sure thing: a clean place that provides tasty food, good value, and solicitous service” said senior projects editor Tod Marks.
