This list ranks in descending order, from worst to best, United States-based casual dining restaurant chains. In order to qualify for this list, the restaurant must offer full sit-down service (i.e. a waiter and/or waitress who takes your order, which is then brought to your table without you ever having to get up off your chain-restaurant-going ass).
