Dennys is the choice here in our house.

I voted for Denny's, other (Big Boy), and of course, bacon.

Bob Evans is dead. People who voted for bob Evans probably don't even go to bob Evans in the last ten years.

Love the Richmond Pizza King, but we already have a Pizza King...

Hooters!!

Just kidding.

IHOP is probably our favorite. But we rarely eat out.

Bacon, BanMbills and Bacon.

I prefer to just fire the grill up no matter what the weather is.

I've honestly never stepped foot in a Bob Evans unless one person in our group was over 70 and wanted to go. Not once.

OP, if it was me and my money I'd probably call the various companies for a franchisee package. See what the start up costs are, what the requirements are, etc. and start narrowing it down from there. Visit some franchises. Talk to the owners if you can. There's probably even a trade magazine. See what percentage of various franchises fail, and why, what help corporate gives on marketing.

All of that is going to be much more important than whatever the results of this poll are.

I voted Bob Evans, really like their breakfast. IHOP would be ok too.

I'll have to go to your bob evans, there is a wait for tables at the ones I go to.

I'm just basing my opinion on their market share and financial success. When I see a business closing locations and as BBI pointed out, a clientele mostly over 60, I question their sustainability. I voted for IHOP because it's still fresh and relevant. I voted to what I think the money maker would be, not what I necessarily personaly like.

Shoneys. Plates of bacon, and sausage. Plate full of those french toast stick things. Tons of syrup. Did I mention plates full of bacon?

Those of you not going to Bob Evans are missing out. They have much better food than the others. It's probably the only suasage gravy at a chain I can stand.

Where "exactly" is this location?

Are we looking at Batesville, north of Greensburg, etc?

I am trying to look at the environment.
