I have no idea how any of these rank. I assume cheesecake factory sells cheesecake. Does applebees sell apples with bees (or maybe honey)? Who knows, I'll never find out on a date I assume. We have a cheesecake shop here but that's about it.

lol even cheesecake factory's exotic around here. their gimmick is basically that they have EVERYTHING on the menu - like a ridiculously long menu of nearly any food you could think of, all done servicably but none of it really standing out. cheesecake is merely one of the bajillion things they have. it's popular because if you bring a group there everyone will find something on that menu they're willing to eat, whereas if you go to red lobster or something and someone doesnt' like seafood then lol they can eat chicken strips i guess.

Also the restaurant is designed as if it was owned by a wizard.

Applebee's is essentially a fast food place with slightly better presentation and servers.

Oh, we have like... Nandos and various pubs. Our America themed local is actually pretty popular, but it's about 30% more expensive than Hungry Jack's

"American" restaurants in other countries are so surreal because they get the food wrong in the same way America usually gets other places' food wrong

I'll grab a pic of the menu
