Which is your family’s go-to restaurant?
Families of all kinds come together all the time at restaurants for comfort food and diner classics. Sometimes at buffets, and often for all-day breakfast. Over the years, many of these family restaurants have popped up across our country and have become standard American restaurants that can be found worldwide.
You’ll find breakfast restaurants such as IHOP on our list, as well as Cracker Barrel, Red Lobster, and Denny’s. And just because a restaurant is a chain, that doesn’t necessarily mean they specialize in just American cuisine. Other popular restaurants include the Australian-themed Outback Steakhouse, P.F. Chang’s China Bistro, and Chipotle Mexican Grill.
While many of these restaurants may not have the same types of menus, they do have in common that they are considered the best family restaurant chains across America. Click below to see our 23 picks for best chain restaurants in America that you can’t go wrong with.

Luby’s cafeteria beats them all
I love Outback. Great steaks, appetizers, and salads!
Some of these places are not in the Midwest or Illinois, a lot of our Steak and Shakes have closed down here in Illinois or St. Louis area. Ruby Tuesdays was one of our favorites but closed in our area and they built a chicken place there, what a shame, Olive Garden is one of my favorites, never heard of Takeaway, our Long Horn Steak place closed, and IHOP closed most of their places in our area. Some of the others are also very good.
you left out Chick-fil-a
In my area Red Lobster, Olive Garden, Fuddruckers and Chilies are in a less desirable area of town, Red Lobster had gone down badly and couldn’t keep a mgr and finally closed do did one Cracker Barrel while one Cracker Barrel is still open but has gone down in every way possible but still catches interstate traffic. Denny’s is a joke. The steak houses are running over with business and 2 or 3 listed we do not have in this area. Private, or better run restaurants are doing well, primarily seafood or catfish houses. It’s a shame some of the favs listed don’t uproot and move to better area or open the second locations, just speaking from a consumers point of view. Courtesy seems to have gotten lost by wait staff.
Big Boys closing in Ohio – so sad i love the Big Boy
